That last picture would sooo be me if I rode it. I think I'd have to wear a diaper if I rode this! I'd probably have a heart attack and die.

No.

I once tried a children coaster and I nearly freaked out. I have something against hanging upside down. I already had it in gym classes. The unholy things we had to do. :P

Its a little more than 100 stories up.

I've been living in Las Vegas for over 11 years and I never intend to try it :P I was watching the news and that teeter totter ride seems to get stuck alot, leaving people suspended in mid-air for hours.

I wouldn't want to ride that either. Heck, I doubt I'd even want to go into the building itself.

Oh. My. God. I so need to go on that. Seriously. It looks amazing! Being stuck in mid air for hours is cool by me. Beats sitting in front of the computer or doing something totally dull any day.

Well, I wanted to go on the 'Xscream' ride, but it was closed the day I went, although I did go on 'Insanity', and let me tell you, it was fantastic.

You're sitting on the thing, and the arm swings around so you're off the side of the tower. Then it starts to spin and the carriages start to go out. When it extends fully outward, you can see the vertical drop down to the ground by facing forward. And there's no overhead bar, only a little lap bar. But yea, it's good.

Also, 'The Big Shot' is great. It's a fantastic view from the top of the tower, and if you choose the side that faces The Strip, it's on of the best views you will get. And the feeeling of the air rushing through your hair when you're being propelled up into the air is just fantastic.

Th Roller Coaster up there isn't actually very thrilling. It's actually quite calm, and you get some great views of Las Vegas on that ride. It's a pity it's being dismantled this year. Although I'm sure that the new ride will be just as thrilling as 'Insanity'. And, more importantly, it gives me an excuse to go back to Las Vegas.

Oh yeah, I'd definately ride that roller coaster and that ride Ken posted. I love scary rides, I find them exhilarating.

Nope, wouldn't go on that one. I'm fine as long as I'm not in the air for a long time, but if there's a chance I'd be on that for hours...no, no, no nonononono.

A friend and I went on the X Scream a year ago. We were so disappointed by how extremely dull the ride was that we were gonna demand a refund (but never did). I don't know about the other rides they have though but I won't be heading back to the Stratosphere anytime soon.

i'd go on it... if there was no line.

Holy cheese, that's a tall roller coaster. I remember 5 years ago when they introduced the Titan at Six Flags Over Texas and everyone thought it was the tallest coast they've ever seen... It's only 255 feet, and gets up to only 85 mph!

I've only ridden one roller coaster my life (not counting the kiddie ones). It was an indoor one at the now-closed Six Flags Astroworld. It was indoor, so it was dark, but I still screamed like a little girl. xD I have aeroacrophobia, which is a fear of high open places. Plus I don't like the feeling of dropping to the ground. :P

Ooooh, I've been DYING to ride Top Thrill Dragster ever since it was built! I live in Ohio and used to go to Cedar Point every now and then, as well as Kings Island in Cincinnati, home of some other pretty good coasters... but Dragster was built after I graduated and I never found the time to go ride it. I would still love to. T_T

And I heard a while ago about a roller coaster in Japan that's approximately twice as fast as the Dragster, and enough taller to shatter its records. Couldn't tell you the name or what park it's in, but I wanna ride it too. *pout*

I'd ride the one Ken posted but I doubt I'd go on the first one. It looks a little too extreme for me. Unless someone wants to hold my hand. :battar:

No i wouldn't, but not because it's spooky. i'd probably try it. but i'm not one to take short and expensive trills that only last a minute (like "The Drop" of six flags or rubber band chairs that sling you into the air). i like thrills that last a little longer than that.

Sat Feb 04, 2006 2:58 am

Never.
I *hate* rollercoasters.
I can hardly go on kiddy ones without feeling sick.
