 Review of Manhattan Express @ New York, New York
-1 Rating Posted by: jdale on 12/31/2005 11:35:00 AM
I expected much more from this ride other than two great drops and a twist and dive element. When me and my folks were driving up the Strip the night we arrived at Vegas, we saw this and I wanted to ride it the next day. I did. It was quite interesting in the station. Since New York NY folks stuck with the New York theme, the station is practically a subway station. Theres a straight track some 203 feet up before dropping into a nice 75 foot drop. Another bigger drop follows, and theres a drop leading to the loop. But going through the dive loop was an experience. It has some hangtime before diving down. Its cool. The brake run follows, which takes away a lot of speed. The rest of the ride contains turns and drops with no airtime before heading through a tunnel leading to the station. Overall, this ride was above average. Everyone knows that not all big rides have to be good, and amen to that. This ride had slow dispatch, and also was rather pricy, but what do you expect? Its Vegas. If youre in Vegas, give this a try. If you dont like togo loopers, you wont like this.

IIRC it was 10 or 12 bucks. Vegas is a pricey town.

Id say so thats quite a chunk of change for a single coaster. dose the city offer any sort of riders club, discount card, towards the rides?

No... but there are clubs for wholesale gambling.

Oh yeah, Anonymous? Youre the one whos making negative posts about Nitro and you dont see me complaining about that, do you? Tis true that a lot of speed was lost on the BR, and the restraints didnt give me any airtime.
Tight. That dive loop was totally amazing, it was enough for me to give the ride an 8. There WAS slow dispatch. Stay outta my hair. I hope your little question has been answered. I havent taken it personally, so no one say anything about that. OK, everyone else, fine. The price is okay for a ride in Vegas. Happy?
