This is probably the hardest my heart has ever beat. I have seen it run serveral times, but never forked over the $12 for one ride. Yes that is insanely high, but it is only $3 for another ride. It actually is only $17.95 for hotel guests and local residents for allday. So my advice is either stay at the Stratosphere or give them the zip of some friend you might have in Vegas. It seems like you are cheating them but think of it this way. They charger $8 just to get up the tower..... Well anyways this ride is insane. They have to keep you at the bottom of the launch enough to get you heart up to 170 BPM. Then you are blasted to 45 in 2.5 sec. You then reach the top height of 160 ft above the tower where you feel NEGATIVE gs. You dont float, you come completely off your seat. It isnt as intense negative gs as the Turbo Drop, but it lasts longer and you experience it the first trip down and on the second trip down. My advice is to hit this, maybe ride it a couple of times but then go over to Speed: The Ride, which is the best ride in Vegas. This is the most thrilling but it isnt the best. But it is good enough to be right behind Speed: The Ride in the best rides in and around Vegas.
