Stratosphere's New Thrill Ride

From the folks that brought you X-Scream...

This is absolutely insane. Called "Insanity," it will swing riders 64 feet over the edge of the observation deck about a thousand feet above the street. Check it out...

Old news is so intresting!

well, that's one of the things i didn't knew. i think it will be pretty awesome. BTW, How high is the stratosphere tower?

[coolbeans326]

over 300, maybe even 400

thecool: the stratosphere tower is about 800 feet tall. it's just over or under 1000 if you include big shot. and belive me, you get one HELL of a view up there! (especially on big shot at night!)

Yeah, i actually thought it was 900 feet, and then including Big shot it is around 1050 to 1100 foot. It must get quite windy up there?!?

Instead of guessing, why not try google? lol

Well this ride is news to me...

Aw man, I though it would take you up 1000 ft and give you a nice 170mph freefall! [:(]

[Dirk_Ermen]

wow, strophere tower: 350meters high. Wtih bigshot around: 405meters. AWESOME. I think this must be really thrilling[:P]

it doesnt look THAT thrilling... all it does is spin. and high roller is fun, but with that i learned that how high the coaster is doesnt matter, the layout matters. unless of course you're petrified of heights [;)]

[Dirk_Ermen]

that ride would be totally insane if the arm will break![:D]
Wheeeeee

What was that coaster all about? The one where it curves down the side of the tower?Was that a rumour or something?[dunno]

yes that was a rumour. A coaster that swoops over the strip! come on!

looks like the stratosphere is going to have to deal with a lot of barf up there![lol]
