Stratosphere


Okay my floormates and I wanted to have one really fun night before school started so we all went down to that Strip down to the Stratosphere where you go up about 109 floors to the very top and they have these wicked rides up there that you ride. These are the most intense rides I have ever been on! We first went on the Big Shot. This ride shoots you up the needle of the tower. You sit around the needle strapped into seats. They shoot you up really fast and then you free fall almost to the bottom and then you shoot up again and it keeps doing that until your down. You shoot up and you get this amazing view of Las Vegas...like as high as an airplane...you literally need to adjust your ears because of the pressure. Then we went next to X-Scream...and I am not exaggerating one bit...it was the scraiest ride I've been on before. You're in this rollercoaster kinda cart but the run way is only about 20 feet long and they shoot you out the side of this enormous building and then you stop at the edge hanging off of the building! I was screaming so much because I sat at the front (yeah not so smart!) It was so intense! We then went to the last ride called Insanity that dangles you out over the edge and spins you at a 70 degree angle so you face the ground. These three rides going in order from the Big Shot, Insanity and X-Scream are the three highest thrill rides in the WORLD!! I'm tellign you they are sick! Okay well that has to be the most exciting thing that has happened to me since I've been here...next? The New York New York Roller Coaster!
