Re: Goodbye to Speed: The Ride at the Sahara (Vegas)?Anyone know why they went with TOGO?
Did TOGO in the U.S. ever have a decent reputation? Re: Goodbye to Speed: The Ride at the Sahara (Vegas)?
...Well, Ultra Twister wasn't terrible... ![]() Home park: Six Flags Great Adventure Park Count: 23 Coaster Count: 79

Sometimes you are too right for fun's sake. Re: Goodbye to Speed: The Ride at the Sahara (Vegas)?The togo honestly doesn't look painful. I guess from all of you guys saying it is I would believe so
![]() Re: Goodbye to Speed: The Ride at the Sahara (Vegas)?Manhattan Express/The Roller Coaster isn't too bad for a Togo (compared to Shockwave and Windjammer), but is still just as rough as the average Vekoma. If you pull the shoulder bar down tight and hold it down until it is locked, you won't have too much headbanging, but will be uncomfortable. If it isn't tight on your shoulders, you won't be squeezed in but will experience a significant amount of headbanging.
On the subject of Speed, I ended up getting a farewell ride on Speed last Saturday. I'm in Utah for a ski trip right now, and after I told my dad that Desperado would soon be Nevada's best coaster since Speed is closing, we decided to make a detour since he had never been on it. If anyone is planning to ride, know that they are very strict with the 15 minute launch interval. After our ride, there were somewhere between 15 and 20 people in the station and they still made them wait. Plan to spend an hour there and ride it at least three times (one ride-$10, all day-$15), as it is definitely worth it. Top 5 Steel: Bizarro (SFNE), Nitro, Apollo's Chariot, Maverick, Banshee
Top 5 Wood: Boulder Dash, El Toro, Thunderhead, Gold Striker, Lightning Racer Top 3 Parks: Holiday World, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Cedar Point TPR Trips: IntimidaTour 2010, North East Trip 2011, LeviaTHON 2012, Mini Tours 2014 (New Hotness & East Coast) ![]() Re: Goodbye to Speed: The Ride at the Sahara (Vegas)?Guys , lets pull some funds and donate to see if SHANE will buy it for us!
![]() ![]() Re: Goodbye to Speed: The Ride at the Sahara (Vegas)?Better yet, double the funds and have him grab Greezed Lightnin' from Astroworld too. Dueling shuttles anyone?
![]() Ignore the screaming in the woods...
Everything is fine.
Re: Goodbye to Speed: The Ride at the Sahara (Vegas)?I remember riding Speed back in 2005, way before they began all this crap with the 10-15 minute wait periods. Me and my brother, got I think 4-6 rides straight in 2005. We had been in Vegas for a week, for his 21st birthday and we managed to get on all coasters in Vegas except the Desperado. Fun stuff.
