Thrill Seekers??

[Flower4Pwr]

ACK! The "Ultimate" thrill ride!!
This ride would give even the biggest thrill seeker a bit of a start!! I could never go on something like this (I'm a big ol' scaredy cat)!! ::shiver:: gives me chills just thinking about it!! Anyone out there feeling adventurous (read: suicidal)?!?!

NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally I think its kind of lame looking.

Now if the track continued and dropped you the 900 ft that would be a totally different story. Could you imagine the g-forces you would pull and the speeds you could hit!

My DH rode that. He said it wasn't as bad as it looked and wasn't nearly as bad as the the thing that drops you out of the sky at Knotts.

He is the thrill seeker in our family. I 'bout wet my pants on Tower of Terror.

They'd have to take me off that thing in a stretcher...cause my heart would stop... I have a severe phobia of falling from tall things...there is no way in the world you'd get me on that thing.

I will go on any rollercoaster in the world, but I WOULD NEVER DO THAT!!! Jesus, what if the breaks don't work? Do they have some kind of net??? Yeah right...

Thats it?? It just goes back and forth over the edge? I can understand the thrill of going over the edge, but it looks really short. They should have designed it to where it looks like you are going over the edge and you can't see the rest of the track then you continue to go down and spiral around the tower. Think of the g forces.

No -- it's a new ride at the Stratosphere Casino in Vegas that's on the top of the tower (900 feet high). It looks like a teeter-totter with a roller coaster car that slides back and forth on a track, hanging you off the edge of the tower.

Personally, it looks cool to me!

I have to agree with Steve...Kinda a cheap thrill but looks interestng personally, atleast worth the try if and when I get to las Vegas again

There were acatually plans for that, though I believe it was a straight down dive. I think the trains actually had wind sheilds. I'm sure the blueprints are somewhere on the internet, I've seen the concept drawings before. Obviously it was rejected.
