This is one great coaster ride for a fairly cheap price. Its amazing how this ride is squeezed into the area where it is. The quick launch right into an overbanked turn is a wild sensation. The loop being right in the middle of a crowded city area adds a lot to the experience. The backwards trip tops off the experience. Definitely ride this one !

Great coaster, and not that expensive compared to the other coaster prices in Las Vegas. The launch is fantastic, the banked turn is awesome, the loop is huge and tower is 200ft tall, then you do it all in reverse. It makes this coaster the one of the best on strip.

Best coaster by far in Vegas. I love a launched coaster. Then that first turn is so banked you feel like youre up-side down. Then the loop and its huge. then you launch again. i loved it comin out of the loop and just bein launched . then turn and up the tower. now the best part. you get so much airtime goin down the tower, its incredible. then you do it backwards. the only bad part of this ride is when you hit that second launch goin backwards yu slow down and youy can really feel yourself slowin down. then you go through the loop. Whats cool is you go slow through the loop so that gravity actually doesnt hold you in your seat. i fell out of my seat. thank God for the restraints. overall a must ride.

I am shocked this has not gotten on a discovery channel show or on the top ten lists, this is a shockingly intense and brilliantly fun coaster with lots of energy and power. I was blown away, in two ways!

This ride was fun, but it was a lot of money for one ride and I think they could have added more elements to it.

I rode this ride in February 2003 and thought it was worth my money. I was skeptical when boarding the ride because I paid seven or eight dollars for one ride and the ride was about one minute long. I got to ride in the front seat and that made the climb up the tower worth it and the loop backwards was entertaining. The start was good and the speed was constant. This would have been higher, but I have a hard time giving high marks for such a short ride unless it is truly special. This coaster is good and I would pay for its services again in the future.

A definite must when in Vegas. Costs $7 for now. Price changes alot. However, worth it. Very fast and you get a good view of the Strip when you go up the tower. Thats the only chance you get to relax by the way. If you get lucky and there is no line, the workers let you ride again very often. Hey you never know, it is Vegas. You may get lucky a couple of ways.

WOW! this is an awsome coaster! i paid for only one ride, and i got 5 instead, they let me ride again and again. the launch is fantastic, around a turn into the loop,hit the MCL, you curve around the entrance to the casino, and up the very fun, not real tall, tower, and back around into now the MCB, into the loop and back in the station. its too bad on the way back the MCL becomes the MCB!

From the launch through all its elements, this coaster mastered its track. First launch takes you 0 - 45 mph. After the loop, it accelerates again to 70mph and sends the train reeling toward a 90 degree vertical tower (similar to Mr. Freeze). The return back was equally thrilling. I though that this was the best coaster in Vegas and one of the best launched shuttles Ive been on. The ride was smooth with no head banging and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Its at the Nascar Cafe at the Sahara Hotel.
