Statosphere Update
Submitted By: ThmPrkCrtc on 4/30/2002 9:45:00 AM
I keep an eye out for updates on this ride, and it always seems like I catch up with it two weeks after the fact. Anyways, heres the latest on the ridicolous ride theyre trying to develop at the Strat in Las Vegas.

The Stratosphere will wait another month for a verdict from the Las Vegas Planning Commission on a controversial roller coaster that nearby residents believe will hurt the quality of life in their neighborhoods.

Commissioners unanimously voted to delay consideration of a site development plan for the 510-foot-tall thrill ride, which would carry riders down the east side of the hotels tower, across Las Vegas Boulevard and up a 325-foot tower.

I think the ride will couse a complaint with ethe residents no mater what. maybe if theey inclose the ride in a glass hall. that would stop the noise and it would look really cool.

I dont see why even when its shorter that they could reduce wind friction to keep the record speeds. I hope they build it anyway though.
