What better way to loose $100 in 13 seconds while in Vegas!
I will be in Vegas soon!!  Tempting,  very tempting.
I don't know if I could make that first step off.

There is no chance of me doing that LOL

I wimped out on Xscream and Insanity so forget this ride!  Even Big Shot was brutal since you really couldn't even see the top of the tower you were attached to anymore.

Have fun Ken.  Let us know how it was lol

I have a friend going to Vegas this Saturday and she said shes going to try it

I love the Big Shot and X-scream
Haven't tried Insanity yet

I even took pictures on the Big shot
it feels like your being shot into space with nothiung above you and so high a must ride
same with the other rides

the old coaster really sucked

I was there when they were testing it a couple of days before it opened and I did 2 of the 3 ride on the tower (excluding insanity) and you would have to be nuts to do it because it fell down the tower FAST

I've skydived from 12,000 feet. This looks scarier big time! I'd love to do it... for free!

It looks to be the same system Hollywood has used for stunt falls for the last 20 years or so. An actual free fall would be way better. This is more like a faster version of the Parachutes at Great Adventure.

Chilled, unless I'm mistaken, I believe we happened to have another Nitro230 join but without the _ lol

This Nitro230 is just as welcome though!
