This is one of three rides on the Stratosphere Tower. The ride fits around 12 people in carts of two. So if it's busy or could take quite a while. I really like it!
How it went down:
We purchased our tickets at ground level, you go through a metal detector. I believe we took two elevators to finally arrive at the top. After waiting in line you pick your seats, lock the seat and put the seat belt on.
The scariest part is when the arm is pulling away from the platform and you are staring at the seat in front of you dangle at like 1000ft.
