Insider Tip
To avoid long lines, get ride tickets early. Many reviewers suggest that the front seats offer a significantly smoother and more enjoyable experience compared to the back rows, where the ride can feel more jarring and uncomfortable. If you're looking to minimize the "rough" con, the front row is often the preferred choice.
Important Info
You need to be in line at least 30 minutes before they close. You'll find the ride at the New York-New York Hotel and Casino right on the Las Vegas Strip. To ride, you need to be at least 54 inches tall. It's important to know that this isn't a ride for everyone; it's not recommended if you have neck, back, or heart problems, high blood pressure, motion sickness, or if you're pregnant. You can buy your tickets right there, with choices for single rides, multiple rides, or all-day passes. Make sure to secure any loose items like hats, phones, or bags, as they'll likely need to be stored or held by someone not riding. Expect a fast-paced thrill ride with drops, twists, and even inversions. While it's an exciting ride, some people do find it a bit rough or jarring, so keep that in mind. There's no upper age limit, but just make sure you're comfortable with a high-intensity coaster.
