High Roller to be removed

[[jonrev]]

The High Roller, the roller coaster on top of the Stratosphere Hotel in Las Vegas, is going to be removed for a more exciting ride. It will close for good on December 30. Did anybody get to ride it?

I didnt, I want to go there though, looks scary as hell. Hope the new ride is better

I heard this on the CoasterBuzz Podcast yesterday. Never got to ride it, but as they said, the three other flats they have there make this look really tame, and its basically a "People mover with OTSR's" I can't wait to see what the new ride is.

Nope. Why would they take out a perfectly good coaster?

It figures. I really wanted to ride it and am going at the end of next year.

I rode it, it is simply a boring coaster that goes in a few circles, not too fast, if it werent that high up, it'd be stupid, the height makes the ride decent.

Here is a picture of this ride



It sure looks like they could make it bigger. It says that it goes 30 mph though. But look at all that room that there is to make it larger. It really doesn't even get that close to the edge. They should make a new one that has a 55 foot drop and go down farther and right to the edge.

If you didn't realize, the majority of that edge is Observation Decks.

They said something about a new thrill ride replacing it. I'm sure they wouldn't take it out without an awesome new ride coming.
