10/10 do recommend it was amazing. I may have died just a little bit from the first drop but I recovered 😂
Stephen_H, Jan 2026
Very thrilling and exciting, well worth the fee charged, couldent fault this rollercoaster ride, one of the best that I have had opportunity to experience.
Elaine_O, Nov 2025
Absolutely brilliant, the view from the top of the rollercoaster is awesome. Yes its pricey for a rollercoaster ride but its worth it and when in vegas why not. Would definitely do it again and 100% recommend. Some reviews say this ride is very jerky and hurts your neck, head and back i can promise you I have experienced a lot worse, it is not smooth as sits not a new new but it certainly isnt as bad as the reviews I read. We Absolutely loved it.

It's a unique experience, and of course you should go up more than once. I had to go up three times because the sensations are inexplicable and the view is wonderful.
Irma_L, Jul 2025
Great thing to do in Las Vegas. The arcade is huge and the roller coaster is fun. You can see the desert from up there.
Jamie_M, Jul 2025
It was the worst roller coaster i have been on. Every time you moved side to side up and down just hurt your body my partner felt like she had been in a fight. I would not recommend.
Angela_C, Jul 2025
Our teenage sons said they enjoyed it, but it was “average” as far as roller coasters go. They’ve also ridden some of the largest coasters in the US, so their rating scale is a bit skewed!
Jacqueline_C, Jun 2025
I never got to ride....waited over an hour. coaster wasn't running due to camera issues. They scanned my ticket but didn't get to use it. They said we could use the next day but it was too windy for ride
Regina_P, May 2025
Very Painfull. My head kept hitting both sides and there was not any cushion. The worst experience ever. Hate it. Horrible. Never again. Don't go!
Cheryl_C, Mar 2025
Very expensive, although we did get it cheaper than gate via Viator ($25pp gate price). Fun coaster and glad we've done it to say we've done it but not worth the cost. Rerides are available for $10 but we didn't think it was good enough to pay for a reride.
Justin_N, Feb 2025
It was a fun ride vary thrilling and loved seeing the sites while in the air good amount of time riding
Emma_E, Dec 2024
If you enjoy riding roller coasters you must give this a go. Great views from the ride and great fun
Bobbie_J, Nov 2024
I don't like rides but my husband really enjoyed the experience, it was long enough and had just enough screams
Carol_S, Nov 2024
It was FANTASTIC! I like roller coasters and this did not disappoint. Finding it through the casino took some time, but staff were helpful pointing out where to go. There are lockers for $1 to stow your stuff- all of it, don’t need to have it flying off. They take pictures-before, during and a group shot which you can buy. The ride was FANTASTIC! Loved it! Out of my seat, thank goodness for harness. Definitely worth it.
Agnes_K, Jul 2024
Arrived at 10 pm on a Friday and line was REALLY long! It moved quickly and we were done in an hour! Note! Needed my phone with booking code, but DON’T try to take your phone on the ride!!! There are lockers for a fee, but I had given my purse to someone to hold! Nearly cost me my iPhone and took away from my experience!
Nathania_N, Jul 2024
This is a must do activity in Vegas. The ride was great! My friend and I enjoyed it and staff was friendly and helpful.
Julie_G, May 2024
I think the 11am slot is misleading as that is just the time the ride opens. Probably can go anytime, just later you go the longer queue. We got there around 11 and didn't queue for very long. Good ride, bit tight to get into seats if you are on the larger side.
Emer_W, Nov 2023
Fun coaster great views but pricey . Went in November at 11am and there was no queues which was super
Madison_J, Sep 2023
Amazing! Very fun, even when we were hungover lol. Advise all to try while in Vegas. We went at 11:00 am
huda_s, Sep 2023
The rides were shut because they were broken I reported it to the website Viator and they still have not refunded my money. Highly upsetting.
christophe_B, Jul 2023
Love it, was amazing and only $10 to do another ride , and you can see the hotel New York too , recommended
Robert_N, Jul 2023
Roller coaster was really nice.
Tickets from Viator were not found/valid by the entrance guy, he was nice and let us through nevertheless
Rebecca_B, May 2023
I've been to Vegas on numerous occasions, but never got around to riding the coaster. Girls trip this time around and the coaster was definitely on the to do list. Awesome and exciting
Donnie_H, Apr 2023
Best value on the Strip. Most bang for your buck by far !! We enjoyed this more thsn about anything else we did in our six day stay in Vegas.
Luis_M, Apr 2023
My kids rite it and they were blown away by it nice job 👏 👍 last about in hour with wait time but good
Wendy_A, Dec 2022
It was closed! We deserve a refund and I will be contacting American Express.
You sold tickets while it was closed!
Carolina_F, Dec 2022
Got charged by Viator for a ride that is closed for maintenance. Would like a refund for a ride we could not take
staceyspears1, Oct 2022
As a roller coaster fanatic, this coaster is a definite must-do at least once! Very rough, but that was expected. I would definitely do it again!
Nicole_B, Oct 2022
I wasn’t able to get on. Waste of money and didn’t get a refund. I was looking forward to it my whole trip but got sick.
