Thrill Rides: New York Roller Coaster
If you want a thrill that has nothing to do with pulling the one armed bandits, check out the roller coaster at New York New York. It's hideously fast and rocks you around like crazy - not for the faint of heart! The pictures they take of you as you zoom around (available for purchase later of course) are just awful! Be prepared to be scared! :-)

    Thrill Rides: Crazy Rides and a Good View of Vegas
    My friend was reluctant to ride the Big Shot, though with the help of the ticket agent we were able to convince him to go. It was funny because the ticket person mentioned that it was really safe (i.e. no one has been hurt), and that even Cuba Gooding, Jr. ("Show Me the Money") rode the Big Shot, however he had gotten sick doing so. Anyhow, of the two rides the Big Shot is a lot better than the High Roller as in the latter one does not get a good view of the city nor it is as exciting.

    In addition to the rides, the trip to the top of the Stratosphere is cool as one gets a good view of Vegas. My guess is that the dry, desert land near the Stratosphere will be developed one day.

    Thrill Rides: HOLY CRAP!!!
    One thing that Amber and I have in common is that if can scare you Amber will do it. Atop the Stratosphere somebody decided to go ahead and put a set of rollercoaster, and Amber decided that it would be our job to ride them. Even though I originally did not want to go, I am so happy I did, it is something that will ruin every other coaster for you as far as fear.

    Thrill Rides: Manhatten Express
    Ride the Manhatten Express Roller Coaster at night and get a birds eye view of las Vegas and the strip. this thrill ride features the first ever heartline twist and dive manoeuvre, the train rolls 180 degrees, suspending riders 86 feet above the casino roof, Smile during the last few seconds as thats when the pictures are taken

    well worth the $10.00 per person

    Thrill Rides: A new thrill ride
    The Stratosphere was originally constructed with the Big Shot (a contraption which launches you up a tower on top of the Stratosphere; a 4-g feeling 1,300 feet above Las Vegas City) and the Roller Coaster on the top of the building. Now there is a new ride... it is "Insanity" which spins you while you hang over the edge of the top of the building... nothing between your feet and the 1,300 feet to the street below). See the pics for the roller coaster, Big Shot and the new ride.

    Thrill Rides: Roller Coaster
    There is an amazing roller coaster in Vegas. Actually 2 good. The one on the picture is the one at the New York New York. I didn't do it but seems very cool. It cost around 10$usd to do it. The other one is located at the SAHARA hotel. Seems to be short but seems amazing as well. Even if I did'nt do it I surely recommand it. Seems too hot !!
