Its true, on the ground the High Roller would be pretty tame. But this coaster is not on the ground. At over 100 stories above the ground, even a kiddie coaster becomes somewhat imposing. The Stratosphere tower is such an amazing thrill ride stop, and while the High Roller is certainly its weakest offering, its still worth a ride. The coaster essentially spirals around the tower three times, and you get to travel the circuit twice. Its not very banked, steep, or fast, and there are the unnecessary over-the-shoulder restraints that did actually bump my head a couple times. However, how can you not enjoy saying youve been on the worlds highest coaster? It looks as though I just got in under the wire for this one, as there are reports of this ride being closed at the end of the year (just a couple of days away).
