For some reason I was expecting this to be a cross-breed of a ferris wheel and a roller coaster and its pretty much neither. It's simply an observation pod that goes in ONE circle.
Cons-
-You don't really get to choose the people you ride with. You are loaded on with about 15 ppl per pod.
-Not enough seating, its two little sitting areas on each side of the pod and it fits about 4 people on each side. I am sure you don't want to sit the entire time but if you do its best to gets a seat facing the loading zone. Everything behind the High Roller is vacant all the lights are in the direction facing where you are loaded on.
-Photographs will suck! Unless you're taking pics of the scenery with no flash, the reflective glass won't allow you to capture cute photos. I tried a couple of selfies but it's really dark in there and turning on the flash will just light up the whole pod and you still get the window glares in your picture.
Pros-
-You can drink while you are on the pod. Drinks can be purchased on your way up towards the loading area.
-The pods are air conditioned. I am sure during the day it could get unbearably hot so luckily enough it's pretty chilly in the pods.
One cool feature is if you pay an extra $10 ($44.95 for night time) then you can get the Happy Hour ride where you and your friends get open bar the entire 30 mins of the trip. This seems like the only option one should choose seeing as most of the time you are just idly waiting for the pod to hit the highest point. I think that could be fun with a bunch of friends but it is a bit pricey for just 10 mins of drinks.
I did like the photo option but it comes out the blue right before the loading area so be on the lookout.
