A113 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hey, I was wondering if there are any mounted pov videos of the ride from Las Vegas. I haven't been able to find any on the internet, they're all handheld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 And speaking of defunct Las Vegas roller coasters, here's High Roller... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 ^That sounded like it would be absolutely unbearably rough if it were a full sized ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn54 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Nice Videos, pretty cool to see them. You wouldn't happen to have a video of the Hypercoaster at that hotel, Povs of it seem quite rare, Can't remember it's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 ^I think you are talking about Manhattan Express at New York New York, the greatest TPR video ever: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudvayneimn Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Either that or Desperado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn54 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks, It was desperado I was talking about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 ^I thought it might have been that one, I've downloaded a non-TPR POV for Desperado at some stage, just do a search on youtube (I can't get youtube at work). I was more looking for any excuse to post that Manhattan Express video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Just to let you know, Manhattan Express really is that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Even though the ride looks pointless (besides being on a 1000 ft. tower), I am still kicking myself for not hopping on High Roller when I visited the Stratosphere in 2005. I still hadn't quite gotten back into coasters and didn't see the point at the time. It was already disassembled when we came back in 2006. I am glad I rode Speed though, definitely worth the $10 or whatever it was back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Ahh, the memories of living in Vegas in the 90's. It was fun, thanks for the memory-rewind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 ^^I rode it in 2003, I'm uncomfortable with heights, even seeing a height on TV makes me uncomfortable. So ironically, a coaster with one of the most mediocre layouts ever was my most unnerving coaster experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Coleman Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Just had to say that manhattan express video might be the best thing I have ever seen on tpr. The ride really does suck that much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Here is the note that hangs on Sahara now, written by Sam Nazarian himself. It does suck that Speed closed, but $10 a ride...that only launched once every 15 minutes was ridiculous. I would see people on the loading platform with all day passes and be pissed off they spent $25 for it, and can only get in 3 rides an hour (if they're lucky.) In other news, Manhattan Express has had full trains every time I drive by! I drive by about twice a day and every train I see is full! Good for them!

stuff2break Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm glad i went on speed, it was great fun and worth the 10 min wait with a load of hill billies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
