Mr Stratosphere

Minimum Age: Due to production requirements, no one under the age of 18 will be admitted to the studio or show.

I believe that Eejanaika ええじゃないか? is a neat name. Though I have never been on the ride, I trust Robb's judgement, but I still think the name is cool.

I have one more spot open, 5 spots now, please let me know!

Hey everyone! I have a group of friends from Vegas and California coming out to a 12:00PM taping of the Price is Right in Hollywood. Expect to be there from 10:30AM to 4:00PM I have a group of 15 set up for the taping, but 4 of my friends cannot make it. I was wondering if anyone will be in the area on Wednesday, January 18th, 2012 and would like to join us? If i get more interest I can up the group to up to 20 people.

This was on the news today and all over our local news' Facebook pages. Looks like its actually going to come true! Something Vegas has needed for a long time. I know it looks small, but hey, it's a start right!!! They officially gave the park's name "Splash Canyon" It will be located on the south west side of the Las Vegas Strip. Check out the link below. Splash Canyon Waterpark

I can see it! It seems really fast too!!

I love the fact that they built a dock in Labadee, that must have made things so much easier!!!

Wishing so badly I was there, have a great time guys!!! Cant wait for more updates! Thanks for posting!

I never knew that about the Disneyland Railroad and all of the laws that different countries may have. It's interesting we are getting a culture education by reading some of the updates!

High Roller at Stratosphere.

The Canyon Blaster at Adventuredome (At the Time Grand Slam Canyon) Still one of my favorite Arrow Loopers!

It's official, Speed: The Ride is now closed.

When I called the hotel operator yesterday she did confirm that last day of operation will be this Sunday.

Great.... Now whenever I watch Fantasmic! at Disneyland, I'm going to be singing Imagination! Imagination! at the finale! I honestly think this is an outstanding production, and I also believe like with WOC, the videos online do not do the show justice!

Check out below! Here is a video of their old camera that followed you down. It was cool to see, just too bad there is no audio. The new videos are fantastic! Very Clear, audio, and can be personalized! [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=VTS_01_1__4__ka7q[/coastertube]

I was there Monday and they are still doing the whole 15 minute dispatch. Even if there was a full station. They were only charging $19.99 for an all day ride pass which isn't bad when they charge $10 a ride. However getting 4 rides on it took an hour... It was running well, everyone still loved it when they got off. It just didn't seem to go nearly as fast as I recall in the past. It really wasn't going that high up on the spike. A good 15ft away from the brakes.

The new Wrist Cam DVD is $35 on top of the normal jump price. The camera weighs about an extra 5lbs with all the extra equipment to keep it safe. And yes they do weigh you with the camera for accurate weight. Honestly the most terrifying part Here's the pricing: $99.99 per jump Package 1: $124.99 (Jump + DVD) Package 2: $139.99 (Jump + DVD + Photos) Package 3: $140.99 (Jump + DVD + Photos + T-Shirt) Hope this info helps!!!

Has anyone else here taken the jump? Or even taken the Sky Jump in New Zealand?

Hong Kong Disneyland! Second week in May!

And here is my Jump from tonight. Currently at 34 jumps! [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=VTS_01_1_15bw[/coastertube]

And now for some Photos! The old camera

Hey everyone! Take a quick look at the video below. A first look at the new wrist cams guests now use to film a personal POV of their jump at the Stratosphere's Sky Jump. I will be posting another video soon from my Easter Sunday night jump. Edit: Take a look below, you can see the new video compared to the old one. The new video is 100% better!! Gotta love this great idea because your video can be totally personalized. The fear in some people captured is amazing! [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=VTS_01_1__2__hgmw[/coastertube] My First Wrist Cam Jump (New Camera) [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=VTS_01_1__4__ka7q[/coastertube] Here is a video from a couple of months ago. (Old Camera) [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=VTS_01_1_15bw[/coastertube] Easter Sunday Jump! First some facts about the Stratosphere Las Vegas and SkyJump for those of you who don't know about it. The Stratosphere Tower stands 1,149ft tall and hosts the world's highest thrill rides (Big Shot, X-Scream & Insanity), and formerly the world's highest roller coaster (High Roller). The Stratosphere Tower opened in April of 1996 and SkyJump (The World's Highest Commercial Decelerator), was awarded the Guinness World Record when it opened on April 20, 2010, 14 years after the tower opened. Great idea no? So here is the process. You should make a reservation at least 24 hours in advance as the attraction is extremely popular! Visit the website SkyJump Las Vegas for more info. You must visit the SkyJump Store to check in prior to suiting up. Don't go up into the tower because everything is done at ground level, but if you want to check it out be sure to head up and check out what the tower has to offer! You then check in and sign the waiver. They call your name and you put any loose articles in the lockers they provide. If you wear glasses they provide straps which I believe is a nice touch! They then get you into your jump suit and they harness you up. After you get checked twice on ground level they then attach your wrist cam and safety strap. And last but not least you step on a scale so they know how to set the decelerator based on your weight. If your party is just observing can wait for you to come down on the landing platform. They then take you up in the elevator, they travel at 21mph or 3 floors a second. You will be upstairs in about 37 seconds if its a non-stop trip. You exit on the 108th floor (855ft) and walk over to the jump room. Once inside 2 JumpMasters double check your harness, snap a few souvenir photos and walk out to the platform. You are then connected to the cable given a countdown and you simply step off the building. 17 seconds later your feet are back on the ground! If you are afraid of heights I recommend this as possibly being a way to conquer your fear! If you come out to Vegas be sure to check out SkyJump!!! Included in the video is a shout out to Robb, Elissa, KidTums, TPR and Club TPR! Hope you guys enjoyed the POV! I'll post some photos soon!

Again thanks for posting an update from today! Always nice to see photos and videos for those of us unable to head out! Can't wait to get out there and ride this and Green Lantern when it opens!

Because it's under the poop deck... Well maybe because of the pool and all of its equipment are behind those facades. Thanks for the updates! The ship looks incredible! I read online too that Liberty just came out of its dry dock with lots of changes! They added the digital way-finding guide on Liberty. I loved that ship and cannot wait for the Oasis Class!
