 Review of Manhattan Express @ New York, New York

One of my least favorite coasters. The drops were good, but the ride was EXTREMELY ROUGH. The "twist and dive" as someone calls it, gave me whiplash. I dont know about you but I only like to get thrown around on woodies. Also, there werent enough inversions or any good negative or positive gs. The only thing above average on the Express are the drops and for $10 a ride you would need pretty amazing drops. Go on Big Shot, its a heck of a lot more fun.

Are you kidding me! This was far smoother than any woodie Ive ever been on. The twist and dive was a one of a kind experience, and I dont see how you can be a coaster fan if that gave you whiplash. I do admit, however, that $10 sux...

I agree with you on the twist and dive, but Im with Seph on this one.. this coaster always knocks me around pretty bad... Actually everyone ive rode with has said that it beat them senseless... That element though is worth the pain IMO

Humph...Im fairly new to the coaster riding (in fact my first looping one was last month, Canyon Blaster at Circus Circus) My first coaster was Ghostrider, so my tolerence I guess was set pretty high. I personally walked on this coaster expecting it to be really rough, reading the reviews on this site. I thought it was pretty smooth, however...

I live in Las Vegas, and Ive been on everything but the Big Shot...That thing scares me to death. The best one here is Speed...Hands down. Whats your favorite?

Well, LemmeRide my personal favorite was Speed, but the hands down most thrilling was High Roller and Big Shot. And the most re-ride ride would be Manhatten Express (Yes, I like getting beaten around and abused on coasters ). TOGO_Fan

I agree with Manhatten Express being an awesome re-ride. I usually do a lot of investigating before I ride a coaster, just so when I finally get there, the suspense is killing me. I found my first ride on Manhatten Express to be a little uneasy (I thought I knew what to expect, and it blew me away). But I hopped on for a re-ride, and it was awesome! (on the side: I am a small guy too, so I tend to like the same ones you like, and I cannot wait to ride Flashback at SFMM in about three weeks.)

For Flashback, always ride in the sides...never in the middle because the side get shot into the air on the space diving turn thing-a-ma-bobs. Glad to see someone has my tastes too. TOGO_Fan

Tho not on the strip I thought the best coaster was Desperado. However for the strip I would have to say Speed is the best coaster and the Big Shot is the best ride in Vegas, even outdoing Desperado. And that element is not worth 10 bux. I thought it was good for once, but never again.
