Soar off into space as you’re launched 160 feet in 2.5 seconds flat at 45 mph, feeling the experience of weightlessness as 4 Gs of force lift you off your seat.
Man, this ride is so scary yet so fun. To be suspended in the air at night 1,080 feet above the Las Vegas Strip just looking around at all the lights is a surreal experience. The ride is the tallest in the world because it is at the top of the Stratosphere tower. The needle on top is the ride, a reverse drop ride in which you are strapped into harnessed seats that do make you feel fairly secure. You basically get catapulted up and then its like a free float on the way down that kinda goes up and down as you descend. Don’t close your eyes and miss the great view. This ride is cool!!

"Awesome Ride!"
$8 bucks to ride, $12 to get 3 rides in all, worth every penny! This ride is the tallest in the world because it is at the top of the Stratosphere tower. The needle on top is the ride, a reverse drop ride in which you are strapped into harnessed seats that do make you feel fairly secure. The ride starts to lift slightly and then like a rocket you are headed for the stars. It goes up and free falls for about four or five revolutions, so you get a lot of air time and a great view of the strip if you face south. I think my heart is still out there in Vegas!..lol
