I totally agree with you, then this would be also the HIGHEST freefall tower on the planet! [pshades]


The highest freefall tower that I wouldn't even think of riding... I don't know if I could even muster up the courage to ride on the S&S Tower...

The S&S is a shot 'n drop tower, i'm talking about freefall [:)]
Also that would be the highest point, but not the deepest drop [:D] I guess freefalls haven't been larger build then 100 meters.

But imagine, you're sitting in a freefall car. The floor below you get's pulled away. Wait a few seconds, and then do a freefall about 250 meters down! Probably around 7 seconds airtime! [pshades] At the bottom of the ride about 40-50 meters above the grond in the brakes [:)]
And then you should do a contest with someone, who is quicker, you as freefaller or your friend with the elevator [:D] Make sure you give your friend 5 seconds ahead [;)]

Yeah a flyer would be cool. I still love the freefall with moving floor idea though. It would need to curve aswell though as the tower isnt straight down.

why not a toboggan style? on the top a mini car starts and then you rotate all the way down [lol]

LMAO. Like that $h1**y fairground coaster? [lol]

How about a DOWNWARD launch! Rather than just dropping. Maybe a little extreme? Or a freefall with 4d cars?

I think putting a floorless coaster on the top of the tower could be interesting. I know there isn't much you can do with it because of the limited space, but it would still be fun.

replace where the high roller is with a 4d coasster that has cars on the side over the ground and have them do " flippys off of the dock"


Hanging upside down over las vegas!!

Why not S&S screaming squirrel type? That should provide huge laughs, riding onto the edge and then suddenly flip over to upside down position. [lol] Oh well, i'll see it anyway when the new ride arrives [:)]

*crosses fingers* "please an intamin freefall off the side of the tower!" *uncrosses fingers [:D]

The ride sucked to begin with. The only thing it had to it was its hight factor, and as you can see the Stratosphere has built several rides that really push that "We're really high up feeling" even farther, and at the same time deliver what would even be a fun ride if it wasn't so high up.

How about a Vekoma mini inverted coaster that swoops out over the side. this would mean that you would get a great sense of vertigo

I know but Stratosphere probably wouldn't build one on such a small scale
