Who's in? RollerCoaster at NY, NY!
 

This will only be my third time to Vegas and I want to ride the rollercoaster! Has anyone been on this? Is it worth it? Who's going to ride with me?

What about the Gondola ride at the Venetian? Any takers?



:tongue:

The Manhattan Express is pretty cool but the Gondola rides are kinda lame. It's all part of the fun though so have at it.

The Manhattan Express isnt worth the wait, it is a very short ride compared to a 45 min. wait on busy nights. The new ride at the Stratosphere, where they hang you over the edge, I would definately recommend that one! :thumbsup

Yes, The Manhattan Express is a real neck breaker.. but not worth the money to ride it.

The Stratosphere scars me... I just remember all the trouble they had when building that new tower... it collapsed at least once when I was living there... granted it was still under construction... but living there, I heard a lot of bad things about the owner of that casino.... Ride at your own risk :2 cents:

A line? I have ridden that thing at least 3 dozen times and never waited in a line.

I waited 45 min. the first time I rode it, when it first opened. The second time I waited about 20 min, that was about 3 years ago.

The High Roller has a great view but it is a VERY short ride and if you are looking for a scare...That's not it.

I have not been on the new ride there yet. I will have to check that out.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!!! I may have to ride the Stratosphere!!!!

Should I have a few of these before hand.....:drinkup

LoL, it did me, too. Welo, if anyone is renting a car while youre here, you could drive out to state line and ride the Desperado.

The Manhattan Xpress Rocks. The first drop is wicked. Won't be too much of a wait on a monday or tuesday afternoon. Definatley worth the 6 - 10 bucks. Drink lots of Jager before you go.

:glugglug

I wouldn't recommend a few of those... Unless you feel like puking!

If you go during the week there will not be any lines. Not many people are all that anxious to ride these rides when it is 40 degrees outside and you are going fast on a roller coaster. But having a frozen face is all part of the fun! Right?

I am staying there, I'm up for it.

Why don't we have a GFY day at Magic Mountain... they have some pretty good coasters there.

I can handle it!:thumbsup

If you have a few shots before hand...You will feel nice and warm.


Hey Eric...Do you also puke on the kiddie rides at Disney Land? I heard you lost your lunch more than once in Toon Town.

That's a good idea, then all the underage kids can come! We wont have to worry about them feeling left out. :winkwink:

Heck ya we are! What ever you have in mind girlie I'm there with you :drinkup

I was at Six Flags the day the Batman ride opened. I was able to ride that one and the Viper in the 6 hours that I was there.

Nothing else. Those lines sucked ass. :321GFY

Do they have a "no sex. no teabgging rule" on the gondola rides?

The roller coaster at the Stratosphere is not worth the wait either.

That roller coaster gets :thumbsup :thumbsup


It shoots you from 0 to 35 mph in about 2 seconds out to the strip. Then shoots you from 35 to 70 mph, again in about 2 seconds, straight up into the air, then you do it backwards!!!

No but that paddle wheel boat makes me puke every fucking time! That and those damn CANOES!!!

Found it!!!

There you guys go.
Also, Loryn, Speed, I think thats the name of the one at the Sahara, is very fun.

That does not matter. They will let you get away with a lot there anyway.

Here's a small example:

It has been a while since I was there... over 10 years... Last time I was there they had this stand up rollercoaster... road it 15 times in a row... a couple of months later they took it down because of accidents or something.. that was a cool ride.

Do they still have collasas? or what ever that huge wodden coaster was called? you know... the racer... that was a fun one too.

Besides... GFY has enough cash to rent the park for a day so it would be for GFY'ers only. :winkwink:

Get a quide next time. I NEVER paddle my own conoe. :Graucho

Yep...The Collasas was the first Roller Coaster I ever rode in that park when I was a kid. I think the Revolution was the 2nd one.

Colossus

What the hell is a quide? Is that Arnold from Total Recall?

Ahhh the revolution... yes, that is a good one too :thumbsup

Roller Coasters are badass, only been on 5-6 of em though when I was down in Orlando and Tampa.

It's kinda like a penis stretcher....From what Tofu tells me.....You should try one of those out too.

Yeah maybe I should. I have been told it looks like I have an Innie and an Outtie bellybutton!

Bah! If it were really that small then you would not still have a job.

Oh shit...Did I just type that? :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I guess you missed that picture from florida of me on the bus back from the TB party showing off my skills with a bottle

And I would like to thank God that I missed that pic.

You were either screwing it or if you are anything like me......You had it stuck on your tongue and were wiggling it around.


(I can see the smart ass remarks already.)

Oh no it was much worse than that... Now someone has to find that thing and post it just for you!

I rode it twice.. that thing hurts like a bitch. The seats are hard as fuck and it bangs you all over the place. Save yourself an hour and a bad neck.

count me in:thumbsup
