stratosphere ride

[Bencerisback]

the new coaster that will sit on top of the stratosphere is supposed to lean back and forth. so the train is on a track that tilts and it rolls to the end, stops and holds there, then it tilts back to the end and it does that repetitively. i dont think it would work because rollercoaster's brakes fail all the time and what it these brakes failed, it would be down like 600 feet or wahtever.

i saw the coaster on Channel 6 news in Omaha Nebraska. Yes it is the best and most reliable, it has been voted that and my dad is on the station so it has to be good.

There is already a thread on this. Search for Project X Sky, or something like that.

I heard about this and I think it's very wek compaired to their first idea. If they built the other coaster, I would probably take a trip out to Vegas, but not for this little thing that doesn't even look like a coaster.

Here is the original thread.

I'm pretty sure they are aware of the height and risks. I really doubt that the brakes will fail, and if they do, there is probly some kind of secondary safety.

tell me about it! It just looks like a waist of money! I thought that the stratospehre was in bankrupt or something! oh well!

Umm guys, if the brakes fail there's a stopping mechanism. And joe cools gr8 sk8 or whatever hasn't had any problems has it. And i personally think it would be thrilling, not worth a trip, but thrilling. Stalling out over the edge of the building m,ust be scary as hell.

When was the last time a casino went bankrupt?

And anyways the breaking would be magnetic. Magnetic Braking never fails. The stratosphere is a pretty nasty hotel for those who have seen it. The tower is old and nasty too.

lol is so nasty..yeah i think the little rides looks lame..but maybe the bigger ride 1000feet upwill be cool..
