here it is...part of the Stratosphere Tower in LAS
Hell no I would never ride on that. I already have a little fear of heights when I'm not in an enclosed space.

"Insanity-The Ride consists of an arm that extends out 64 feet over the edge of the Tower and will spin passengers at up to three 'G's.' As the ride spins faster and faster, the riders are propelled up to an angle of 70 degrees. Riders will experience the thrill of being flung over the edge of the Tower and literally facing downward at the City of Las Vegas below. The ride is programmable with various ride options. An unobstructed view of historic downtown Las Vegas rewards those riders brave enough to experience three 'G's' at a height of more than 900 feet."

I agree with ANCFlyer. That looks too damn scary. I would be scared that the handlebar brakes off or something.

Now I want to go to Vegas again.
I'm a roller coaster freak, and would love to go on that. I am just as happy, though, to have the highest and fastest coaster being built right here in NJ.

ooooh bloody hell... i got vertigo from looking at the picture
HAHA!! couldn't have said it better!! Weird, but the older I get the more I don't like heights, except in an a/c.
Was in SAF at the Westin St. Regis and they had exterior glass elevators. I was on the 26th floor and I thought I would pass out every time I had to get on the damn thing.

That looks crazy!! I'd probably give it a go if it didn't spin around too quickly. I hate getting dizzy.

Come September, I'm going to ride it! Hell no on ever riding the Big Shot again, I hate rides where I don't know when the ride is going to launch or drop you. Which is why I hate Acrophobia, Freefall and Deja Vu @ SFOG. I love riding coasters but hate rides that consist of a straight down drop.
