Must do thing if you are in Vegas. My wife and I, both are like "Try new things." This was one of the best experiences. Their roller coster ride was so freaky and horrifying, we tried it twice (day time and night time). ENJOYED A LOT. Its cheap, only $14. But remember you have to have lion's heart to enjoy... More

This is one great coaster, I'm somewhat of an coaster enthusiast and I enjoyed it.. It was one of steepest inclines I've ever been up. One word of caution, it is somewhat of a rocky ride, if you don't want get hurt, i suggest keeping your head up against the head rest. It helps. It was little pricey for what... More

I love roller coasters and ride them when ever I get a chance. I have ridden the one at California Adventure park more times then I can count. After visiting Vegas many times I finally took the time to try out the coaster at New York New York. This was the ROUGHEST, most JARRING roller coaster I have ever been... More

We enjoyed the ride, although we agree that it is a rough steel coaster. A few rough transitions, especially if you don't hold the shoulder bars down tight while they're locking in place. Still we enjoyed it. We bought the "all day pass" for $25 each and rode it 5 times over the course of a few hours (during day... More

It was our second trip to Vegas and as we had,nt done the ride the first time we thought we would try it as we are both coaster fans. We have experienced all that Orlando has to offer several times so were no rookies where coasters were concerned. We found it a very uncomfortable experience, and was a little concerned... More

I consider myself a roller coaster fan, so I try to ride all the coasters I can while traveling to different destinations. The Roller Coaster at NY NY Hotel was a must do in my vacation schedule, despite all the bad reviews. After a few failed attempts to ride it, (was closed due to high winds) I finally got my... More

As a big roller coaster fan, I knew that I definitely wanted to give the Manhattan Express a try when I went to las Vegas, despite the many poor reviews I had read. Unfortunately, the reviews were correct. First, it cost $14 for one ride. The wait was very short, under five minutes. The ride itself, however, was brutal. It... More

I hated this ride, and feel as though I have whip-lash from it, yet my child had no problems riding it 9 times. I am a roller coaster lover and yet will never ride this particular one again. Apparently the front is less jarring than the rear. I was on the second to last car. My screams were screams of... More
