Question Looking for reverse bungee ride
I want to find a park that has a reverse bungee style of ride in Denver, CO area or Las Vegas, NV. If anyone knows of one in these areas, please let me know. Preferably the ones with the 2 steel towers like this picture.

It would help if you told us where you are located in the world.

Well, he does say in his original post that is he is looking for one around Denver, CO or Las Vegas, NV.

The level of reading in posts is absolutely amazing....

I cant find anything about the ride in Denver or Las Vegas. Your best bet would be to look at places like amusement parks or little tourist trap like places.

Only the best "reverse" sling shot ever is in the one and only Reno Nevada... maybe that's too far though....

James, thanks for the info. You just made my day! I looked SFEG's website, but the ride isn't listed.

^ If looking for a flat ride, just ask James.

He's Mr. "I've ridden every flat in North America".

Huss Jump#2 (PCW) - Only 1 in NA
Mondial Revolution (PCW) - Only 1 in NA
And the Mondial Swiger (Fighter) - Only 1 in the US.. But its a fair ride that doesnt come around me
