Speed: The Ride is a glorified shuttle loop, but it is an AWESOME glorified shuttle loop! When in Vegas make sure to ride this amazing coaster. The ride starts within the Nascar Cafe portion of the Sahara Casino there you buy a reasonably priced ticket and get in the line. I have been on this coaster twice in Vegas and there has never been a line so no worries. The trains have a bullet shaped look to them and they travel just about as fast as one. The rides starts with a 35mph launch out of the station into a banked turn. From the turn the coaster drops into a tunnel and goes into an intense loop. Then the train traverses a speedy straightaway. The coaster nearily avoids hitting the casino and then hits the second set of LIMS which boost the train to 70mph. The train goes straight up a 225ft vertical spike which gives some good floater air time. Then the coaster does the same thing in reverse. Speed:The Ride lives up to its name since the thrills come very close to each other in a very short amount of time. This is definetly worth forking over 6-12 bucks since this is a real excellent coaster. So in conclusion if you want an adrenaline rush come to the Saraha. X-Cellents Tip:Ride in the front row it gives a greater illusion of speed
