Stratosphere Ride Shutting Down
Stratosphere Ride Shutting Down
Time is running out for people who want to ride the world's highest roller coaster.
The Stratosphere roller coaster will thrill riders for the last time next Friday. After that it will be removed, piece by piece with a crane, over a three month period.
The roller coaster opened on the same day as the hotel, back in April 29, 1996.
Officials say they're getting rid of the ride to make room for another more exciting one. There are still plenty of other thrill rides, 900 feet up on top of the Stratosphere.
Thrill Rides
Thrill seekers of all ages can experience the ultimate in excitement at Stratosphere Las Vegas! At over 100 stories above the ground, the Stratosphere boasts the world's four highest thrill rides; the Big Shot, X Scream, the High Roller roller coaster and Insanity the Ride.
Insanity-The Ride consists of an arm that extends out 64 feet over the edge of the Tower and will spin passengers at up to three 'G's.' As the ride spins faster and faster, the riders are propelled up to an angle of 70 degrees. Riders will experience the thrill of being flung over the edge of the Tower and literally facing downward at the City of Las Vegas below. The ride is programmable with various ride options. An unobstructed view of historic downtown Las Vegas rewards those riders brave enough to experience three 'G's' at a height of more than 900 feet.
