Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Stratosphere has formally announced that its new ride will be called Insanity. The ride will swing riders 64 feet over the edge of the observation deck about a thousand feet above the street.

Xscream has been a really good draw for the tower this will only draw even more visitors!

As for a "splash zone" I think itll be ok...considering its so high up and it involves spinning, i imagine any "liquids" will be dissappated before hitting the ground so itll prolly just be small drop lets...

I could see it now, tourists standing there waiting to cross Las Vegas Blvd..."is it raining?"...lol.

Can't wait till March. Can't wait till March. Can't wait till March.

Tina, you will hold my hand on the S&S shot tower, and this, right?;)

...apart from the small solid pieces of half-digested food which occur from the bad habit of not chewing enough when eating.

Does anyone know exactly what side of the tower the ride will be on?: The last time I was up there I was trying to figure out where another ride would go

Perhaps the less traveled side (traffic wise) facing downtown?

Yes! I can't wait!

If you listen to the video that accompanies the article, they say as well that they no longer have room on top of the tower for any more new attractions. Like I said before though, they can probably always find a way somehow.

Well I just got back from Las Vegas, I did not see anything about the new ride listed or on news of it. I did not ride any of the rides their it was to far out from downtown strip.

They do have room on the other side of X scream from what I could tell from looking up. The Star Trek area in Vegas in run down so don't waste your money unless your a big Star Trek fan.*** This post was edited by Vortex 11/20/2004 11:02:27 AM ***
