Have wanted to ride The Roller Coaster at New York New York on several past trips, but the line was always way too long. During my last visit, the line was short so woo hoo! I LOVE coasters! I am a true enthusiast and have ridden some of the best (ever hear of a little place called Cedar Point; or how about Thunder Dolphin in Tokyo?).
Thrill factor - ~3...only 67 mph
Ride factor: - ~4...maybe I'm jut old, but the jolts left me with a bit of a throbber after
Cool factor - ~7
View factor - ~9
Price factor - ~8...$14 for one ticket...not a bad deal in LV
Certainly worth doing once when in Vegas if the line is not too long. And, if you're taking kiddos to SIn City, buy them a day pass for 25 bucks and dump them at NYNY, let 'em go 'til they puke! Just don't forget to pick them up at the end of the day! :) [I joke.]
