It's been a year since I went on Desperado, but I need to comment about it, since so many people are complaining about it. Desperado is not a comfortable coaster by any stretch of the imagination. The seats are about as soft as a pew. It's very rough in spots, and you can get some nice bruises if you're not... more

We paid the $8 for a ticket and got right on the ride. No lines to speak of, although the casino was packed. Loved the initial drop but hated the neck jerks. My boyfriend ended up with a sprained neck the next day. The company that designed this ride should have made the coaster ride smoother. All in all, a... more

My partner and I "experienced" this coaster on a recent trip to Vegas. Even though I read the reviews I didn't pay much attention. I should have. The first hill is extremely steep and banks immediately afterward. To say the ride was bumpy would be an understatement. I wasn't screaming in excitement - I was screaming in pain. Three fractured... more

Last week was my third trip to Primm's Buffalo Bill's amusement area with my son. Both of us are roller coaster enthusiasts. We have season passes to Six Flags Magic Mountain and go many times over the last 2 years running from coaster to coaster. My son was at first a little weary of Desperado due to the height, but... more

I was on my way to Las Vegas coming from California and I knew this roller coaster was by the I-15 freeway, so I made a short stop just to ride it. It costs $8 with free parking, and there were virtually no lines, thankfully, although the rest of the casino and hotel seemed crowded. The roller coaster is lengthy... more

I am a roller coaster fan, and just happened to be on I-15 heading to Vegas and came across the Desperado. The initial look wasn't too impressive, but I bought a $7 ticket anyway, and was really suprised. It was a great ride. The initial drop is good, but the 2nd drop is better and the tight turns are unique.... more
