Mr Stratosphere

I think Las Vegas has a couple of bad spots, New York New York just for the overpriced Manhattan Express. Ugh TOGO...Need I say more. Circus Circus Adventuredome...Overrated little kids, average Arrow Coaster. Basically Las Vegas has a couple of good attractions, however they are overpriced and overrated. Buffalo Bills has a hyper Arrow the Desperado, its okay when it is open, the weather is not the best friend of the outdoor coasters in Las Vegas. Just my thoughts..... John Why Stop At The Edge... ...When you can go over!?!?!?

Nothing should be down for the month of march, most annuals happen around October, Of course the High Roller is down for the count John

At this time most of the hydraulic lifts and motors have been removed from the track. As i said before track removal will begin in February! John Why stop at the edge... ...When you can go over!?

Sorry I mean February, I always do that..... John Why stop at the edge.... ....When you can go over!?

The Removal of the Track will begin in November...For now all of the friction wheels and hydraulic components will be be removed. John Why stop at the edge... ...When you can go over!?

Hey everyone its been a long time since ive been on, but i got a bit of news, The roller coaster world is going to be losing the World's Highest Roller Coaster!!!! Thats right kids, the High Roller atop the Stratosphere Tower is being removed, Its last day of operation is December 30th 2005, thats right its a week from today!!! The High Roller will not even make it to be a decade old. We do not know what will take its place yet, but this is one bit of news that is kinda sad. Well it is to me. John Why stop at the edge.....When you can go over!!??

Personally i think the Elevator Carts for Tower Of Terror are pretty cool! i mean they move around and travel around the building and the elevators themselves are pretty cool.

I actually enjoyed this ride very much. Maybe because i love spinning. The biggest thing is to not take your eyes off of the monitor in front of you. If you look to your side you will definately get the feeling of spinning. I did it on purpose because i love the feeling. It is a great attraction, i loved it! Hope you do too.

This truly is a tragic event that happend. I feel sorry for the family. This ride really is intense, i loved it, my dad, however did not like the feeling he had in his chest. If i recall it pulls a constant 2 g's. We experience rides with 4g's but for a lesser time. Insanity at the stratosphere pulls 3.5 g's but because of the angle you feel the forces in your seat and not your chest. I believe this is why the ride is so different. Rather then feeling the g's in your seat you feel them at your heartline level.

^Hates the idea of the down arrow but still uses it V Ummmmmm....I dono...

At Buffalo Bills in PRIMM, NV we used to get to just stay on the Desperado for many rides over and over, i once got 30 rides on it one day, could have done way more but since it was SOOOOO busy.....waiting for at least 10 people made it a boring wait. But they did the same thing at the Turbo Drop and log ride, they just let us stay on and keep riding, I loved riding that S&S Turbo Drop but i still love my Big Shot.

Wait are they gonna sue for this???? Too bad those 2 girls from Stratosphere werent there i bet they would try anything for it. Can you go on amusement rides and expect to always have a perfect ride?? Anyways i thought it was cool that the park gave everyone a raincheck to come back to the park for the inconvience.

^I guess im the acception of that, i work at the place i love and the magic is still there, how could you get tired of a view like that, and seeing new people all the time, and scaring the crap out of people.
