Insanity, a new ride that just opened (10 Mar 2005) on top of the Stratosphere Tower, the fourth and final ride to be built on top of the tower claims to be
"insane!" They even have a webcam!
Quote:
The Ride, described as an inverted centrifuge, will be a one-of-kind attraction that is sure to gain a worldwide reputation as one of the most intense themed attractions built anywhere. Insanity-The Ride will be the fourth and final major thrill ride attraction to be built atop the Stratosphere Tower, which has become known for having a variety of unique amenities and attractions. The new ride will hold 10 passengers in 'escape proof' seats as it spins at 40 m.p.h. The key to the ride is that thrill seekers experience a centrifugal force of three 'G's' while being spun out 64 feet past the edge of the Stratosphere Tower-overlooking the City of Las Vegas more than 900 feet below.
Gotta try that one next trip to Vegas, Baby!
