I love big drop rides! And this one was particularly fun. Nothing like being shot up on the top of the Stratosphere to make your day! My only recommendation would be not to sit in the spots facing the sun. The line itself is pretty short; most of the waiting is done to see if anyone else plans to strap themselves in. There's no surprise when they're about to shoot you up though; their announcement gives you a moment to be ready.
And then you fly. There's a surreal feeling being shot up into the sky that fast, as if you're flying. You reach the peak and before you know it, you plummet down. Well, everything that goes up must comes down; such is life.
