Thrill ride in the sky

How would you feel if you were hanging on a metal arm atop of the eighth-tallest building in the world, the Stratosphere hotel in Las Vegas? I know I’d be terrified, but if you’re one of those thrill seekers that will gladly swim in Devil’s Pool, you might like this.

The X-Scream is, according to many, the ultimate fun ride in the world. Those willing to risk a heart attack are loaded in a cart and hoisted high into the air before the track plunges into a 30 degree angle. Just when it reaches 30mph, the carts comes to a full stop at the end of the track, leaving nothing but 300meters of air between passengers and the ground…now that I don’t want to try! I don’t care about their fancy security measures, that include titanium restraint bars and a manual return mechanism in case of power failure, I ‘m just not getting on that thing!

    Nice to see some pictures of this, been meaning to drive to Vegas just for this tiny amusement park (since I don’t gamble and don’t care for live shows, I haven’t gotten around to it).

    I live for this kind of stuff. Looks fantastic.

    Unfortunatly, these are older pictures because they took the longer rollercoaster down. They do have one of those tower rides that shoots up the spire and free falls back down it. I went on all three of these back in November of 07 and they are really great to get the blood flowing, the heart pumping, and the butt pucker going! I would recommend these rides to anyone in a heartbeat! Great fun. Try’em Spooky!!!
