Thumbs up High Roller's last day is Friday!!!!

Quote:

The Stratosphere hotel-casino in Las Vegas will do away with the High Roller roller coaster that sits atop the 1,100-foot tower.

The coaster, which has operated atop the Stratosphere since it opened in 1996, was built by Premier Rides.

Some four million people have ridden the relatively tame High Roller, which will be replaced by a new thrill ride, according to the AP.


This is one coaster I will NOT miss!!!!!!

Bring on the new stuff!!!!!

We rode it the first month that they were open. Haven't been back (there) since. NY-NY's coaster was fun. Done that a few times.

This is the only coaster I have ever chickened out on. I couldn't even go to the top of the tower due to my fear of heights!

Re: High Roller's last day is Friday!!!!

Dang, another credit I will never get.

If I had known this was closing I definately would have ridden it when we were in Vegas a few weeks ago.

The coaster is fun because at a certain point during the ride you don't see the track and think you are going to fall down. ALL the way down!
