This 200 ft high structure is a first rate amusement ride on its own, however its placement at the top of the Stratosphere Hotel-Casino (over 500 ft) in Las Vegas makes it incredibly intense and provides a spectacular view of the city, especially at night.
Take a deep breath as you get launched upward because you will feel as though you are going to be catapulted vertically right into space. The exhilaration you feel when you get launched and finally reach the peak of the ride (close to 1000 ft? in the air) is indescribable. The ride is a true fix for the adrenaline junkie because you can literally feel a "Big Shot" of adrenaline surge your brain on this ride as you are launched, when you reach the peak and when you are dropped back down. The only drawback is that after the first surge, your brains receptors are craving the experience again!
