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.

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 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

Whoaaaa, is this who I think it is?

Post by: PcMan on April 23, 2010, 01:18:04 PM: I would do it
just don't want to part with $100 +

they say its a controlled slow 40MPH drop ?

Yes all the other rides are also very extreme

This Nitro230 is just as welcome though!
