chickenbowl Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 ^ That artwork is definitely of a standard El Loco, and so far, this one is looking pretty custom. We'll see just how much as more steel rises! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromyL Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 It is starting to look like a barrel roll with a drop down into the station brakes. Possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Moving along nicely. I might have to make a stop in a couple of weeks to check itout for myself when I'm in Vegas in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downunder Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Thanks for the tip on Hotel Argento, sounds like I should hit that first thing before the line builds up when I'm there in a couple of weeks. The way they're going Loco's track might be contructed enough to get a good idea of the layout by the time I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Stratosphere Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hi everyone! Another update from the park! We can now confirm a twist and dive into the brake run for El Loco! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markysharky17 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 So this is going to be a custom layout if I am correct? Or will it be the standard. Also apparently Crazy bird another S&S El Loco recently opened up in Happy Valley China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double0Kevin Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) I think at this point it should be very clear that this is in fact a custom layout and not another clone. Edited October 12, 2013 by Double0Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmeister Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 ^ Which makes me all the more excited for El Loco. I have to be honest I was really against the removal of Rim Runner because I didn't want a cookie cutter ride to replace one that was designed specifically for it's space and leave a huge amount of empty space in the dome. Rim Runner was a great visual element for the park, especially when all the theming was there. This looks like a more than worthy replacement. Have they done anything with the old lift/turnaround yet? I do wish that Vegas still had a legitimate water ride on the Strip, maybe in the future?

rcdude Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 El Loco is looking like a great ride. It's nice to see there'll be at least one above average coaster in Vegas, and even though a standard layout would be good this looks like it could be even better. Perhaps I'll need to stop by the Adventuredome on my ski trip in January (time permitting, as we've got to get from Orange County, CA to Salt Lake City, UT in one day), but if not I'm planning a trip to Vegas this summer to ride it.

jray21 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Looks like it's coming along great! Gotta love Circus Circus. Whenever I think of Circus Circus, I think of the part in the movie Vegas Vacation where the guy at the buffet switches the colored food items.

Kyle Coleman Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 That about accurately sums up the circus circus buffet experience. Excellent steak house though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 That is a weird thing about Circus Circus. It's the same here in Reno. Their buffet is terrible, but they're steakhouse is one of the better ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Since there are more than a normal amount of cross ties on the track, I guess we can conclude that it will be an 8 seater like GL in Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double0Kevin Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 ^It is a standard 4 person car (2 per row). They have a rendering of the car on their website. That is a weird thing about Circus Circus. It's the same here in Reno. Their buffet is terrible, but they're steakhouse is one of the better ones! Actually, Circus's buffet has improved a lot. Granted it's still no where close to Bellagio or Wynn, but for the price the food quality is decent. As for the steak house... Well it's amazing. One of the best meals I've ever had.

singemfrc Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 All these race reviews about the steakhouse, I definitely have to make sure to try that when I come down to ride El Loco. I know this isn't really a Vegas buffet thread, but real quick since we're on the subject kind of, Aria Doesn't get mentioned for their buffet a lot but they have one of the best. On the expensive side but worth it if you're in that part of the strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromyL Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I miss all of the old cheap Vegas buffets. Food was way better. When they get fancy. They start adding ingredients to foods that I can't stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydn12 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 We always go to the Palace Station buffet. With their casino card it's $8.99 for the dinner buffet and $4.99 for breakfast. Love to hit the omelet bar and they have great desserts. We personally have been disappointed with many of the higher priced buffets and the kids prefer the Palace Station buffet.

JeromyL Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 We are finally getting a Golden Corral in this town. So no more high priced nasty buffets for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert425 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 That about accurately sums up the circus circus buffet experience. Excellent steak house though. yep. one of the best steak houses in town. it's great, and worth every penny. the buffet? eh. it's edible. Not great, but better than the other close options (Riviera's buffet is disgusting, and Stratosphere's is WAY overpriced for the quality of the food).

On the expensive side but worth it if you're in that part of the strip. LOL. . Buffet thread! We go to Vegas a LOT, and I'd rank the best in town as: Cosmopolitan (Wicked Spoon) -- it's fantastic, and we always eat there several times during a trip (be sure to catch the Sun. Brunch with the Mimosas!). if I had to list top5: 1: Cosmopolitan 2: Bellagio 3: Mirage (no, really, it's great). 4: Aria 5: Golden Nugget (on Freemont -- the weekend seafood buffet is fantastic) in terms of "decent" and "Value for Money": I'd go for: 1: Rio 2: Flamingo (totally worth it for the view) 3: CircusCircus and one that USED to be great, but is just awful these days and we'll never go back: MGM Grand. (always crowded, but expensive and crappy quality food). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromyL Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 ^^^__yuck LoL. Bone marrow is not something I'm interested in eating. (Yes. It's on the menu at the cosmopolitan buffet). LOL. Let's be honest. We all have different tastes and likes. What is good for some. Might suck for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest. We all have different tastes and likes. What is good for some. Might suck for others. but you're not forced to go to every station. in addition to the Bone Marrow (that I don't like either), they also have braised pork belly (YUM). not a standard food on most buffets. (oh, another one that started great and went downhill -- "M" -- the first few times we ate there, we loved it, and hated it twice in a row since (years later). We haven't been back).
