Desperado was the main reason to pull off the road on the way to Vegas, and it was worth it. The ride is pretty damn good - full of intensity and some pretty hard-edged airtime. The first drop is really cool, down 200+ feet into the tunnel along with some serious Gs not found on newer hypers. The bunny hops before the mid-course provided some pretty strong and almost painful airtime, and the helix through the fake mountain was pretty neat as well. We rode four times, three in the back which were great, and one up front in which our kidneys begged for mercy, especially on the turn into the mid-course. Oddly enough, while most folks have to wait for the minimum number of riders, we just had to wait 2-3 trains at some points of the evening. A great ride, better than Magnum or Steel Force in my mind.
