Stratosphere Thrill Rides, USA

The amusement complex called Stratosphere Thrill Rides is located on the top of the eponymous tower in Las Vegas. The complex includes three unique rides ideal for testing your courage. Before their description, it's worth noting that the Stratosphere Tower is the tallest building in the city; the height of rides is 350 meters. Those daredevils who are courageous enough to test Big Shot catapult can get even higher. The cart designed to ride 16 passengers at one time. It literally shoots at the height of 48 meters and, after reaching the top, the catapult falls down under the force of its own gravity. Big Shot ride is the highest in the world. The catapult is situated at the height of 329 meters.

At a height of 274 meters no less exciting outrigger roundabout, Insanity the Ride, can be found. Its shape resembles a huge star. The carousel brings passengers beyond the tower and begins to rotate at a speed of 65 km/h. Given that inclination of booths is more than 70 degrees, passengers rotate face down and can enjoy the views from a great height, but only if they have courage to open their eyes. The third incredible attraction of Stratosphere - X-Scream Swing - is located at an altitude of 264 meters. The swing construction is extremely simple; it is a small rail balanced in center and its edges are movable carriages. When the attraction comes into action and starts swinging, carriages go beyond the roof, giving passengers a pleasant and, at the same time, frightening feeling of weightlessness.
