This rollercoaster ride in NYNY hotel was in our list of things to do in Vegas, however, we were kind of disappointed as it was a very rough ride and not much fun. In the Youtube videos, it looked exciting but not so in reality. The over-the-shoulder safety restraints are so hard and have no cushioning. The ride itself was very jerky and our head/jaws were banging on the restraints most of the time! Also, the ticketing system is very weird. We have to unnecessarily queue in to take Arcade card and then another queue to validate that card, then line-in third queue for the actual ride. There was no arrangement to handle single riders queue and this was creating more wait time for couples and others in the line. The price of the single ride was on the higher side, and the package is a total nonsense, as the credits they provide you are for the use in the arcade machines and not the rollercoaster ride. Glad we did not take an unlimited pass or any package.
Once the ride was over, I wasn't sure if cards are to be returned, but I did it anyway as I don't plan to use their arcade or rides ever again!
Manages to be both extremely rough and boringly slow at the same time; takes some true skill to design a coaster that badly. There is a reason why this is the only TOGO product in the western world, and it is not worth even half of what it costs. You dont get a good view of the strip either, as 75% of the ride putters around on the roof of the casino. Anyone who has even a passing affinity for roller coasters will be disappointed.
This roller coaster is the best Vegas has to offer!!! We sat in the front seat and it was nonstop fun. We used a hotel comp for one ride and they offered a military discount for my other ticket. Love the pictures taken during the ride!! A definite must for a Vegas vacation!!!!!!!
The coaster ride is absolutely awesome! I loved it...the best ride so far. You feel safe, yet this is a thrilling, exciting and so much fun experience. It is a MUST to do, if you enjoy exciting fun !
As rollercoaster fanatics, we had to try this coaster when we were in Vegas. It's quite expensive for a ride, around $40 per person to do the coaster and the virtual reality experience.
The coaster wasn't bad, though it was very bumpy, not at all smooth. We actually found our ears were sore when we got off.
Then to the virtual reality part, we thought we'd have to go to another ride or something but it turns out you just ride the ride again, but with goggles strapped to you. This was an interesting idea, but given how bumpy the ride was, it lasted about 10 seconds before the imaging went blurry and was just rattling around on our faces. I found my nose quite sore for several days after this.
Wouldn't recommend doing the vr part at all.
