of cource yes to all! But you better can say now 4 rides. You forgot insanity!

High roller looks like fun, Big shot looks scary but i'd always wanted to shoot that high into the air. They should make the tower too for a launched down mode! [pshades]
That X-scream looks really exiting and thrilling but i'd just wanna do it. Looks soo fun.
Then insanity, i'll probably decide when i'm there then [;)]

I would ride them all even though I'm kinda scared of heights. (But not on high coasters...go figure). I would just hope that the launch tower doesn't have and RCT like event where it blasts off the tower. High Roller would be fun even though it has one of the most boring layouts. At that height though it would get really exciting. Maybe on my next time passing through Vegas I'll see if I can go up there.

The rides themself are really nothing special. High Roller is no more than a large kiddy coaster, Big Shot wouldnt be any problem as you cant really look straight down anyway. X Scream and Insanity are again quite weak rides that simply use height to their advantage. So i wouldnt be too worried about riding the rides themself, it would really only be the height factor

^Lol!

I voted for all of them but never seen any of them. But I'm not afraid of heights (As long as I know I'll be safe up there) I remember on power tower, some guy said "don't look dow" and so I looked down. It was fun.

small launch, 180 degree spin, then going upside down over the edge. Also they don't need to forget to use the x-car seats then [;)] When mom was 50meters in the air on the skywheel she actually thought she would fall out [;)]
