 Review of Speed: The Ride @ Sahara Hotel Casino, The

Despite the length of the ride and shoulder restraints, this ride packs a punch. I got a wristband and I got to ride it 10 times. This thing doesnt often have much of a line, and I never had to wait at all for this. Now for the ride. The first launch doesnt make the train go as fast as other launches, but it was still great fun. 0-45 mph in under 2 seconds. Out of the station and into daylight, we speed crazily through an overbanked turn. It drops into an underground tunnel which was pretty unique. We then pop out of the tunnel straight into a loop. After that comes a second launch: 40-70 mph in under 2 seconds. A couple of turns and we rocket up the the large spike with some good ol floater air on the way. Then we go through the layout backwards before ending up in the station. I also think this is the best ride in Vegas, not counting Desperado. Its not in Vegas. If you ride this, youll see why I rode it 10 times. I saw this coaster from my hotel room at TI (Treasure Island). Quite intense and one of the few launch coasters that Ive ridden, next to the two launch coasters at SF Great Adventure and the ones at CP. Definitely worth a stop at Sahara for this. It was the only reason I stopped at Sahara.
