SPEED THE RIDE - SAHARA HOTEL

Speed - The Ride is one of the sensational thrill seeking rides that are available in Las Vegas. Speed is located at the Sahara Hotel and Casino. You can check out this ride every day of the week until 10PM or midnight on the weekends. Many people choose the VIP option so they can ride all of the rides on the Cyber Speedway, including Speed.

People love Speed-The Ride because it is anything but your average rollercoaster. The average rollercoaster doesn't go this fast and it's not as exciting. For instance, Speed is made with Linear Induction Motors. This allows the ride to go from zero to seventy miles per hour in approximately four short seconds.

Using electromagnetics, Speed basically flings this amazing rollercoaster using the effect of a sling shot. Once you are shot from your starting point you will head over the first hill. At that point you'll be going a modest thirty-five miles per hour, but the speed will get much faster. From the hill you will take a curve and that will lead into a twisting corkscrew. After you hit that corkscrew be prepared because you will drop 25 feet below the ground into a misty tunnel.

From there, hold on to your hat because Speed picks up the pace and will soon be traveling at seventy miles per hour! You will hear the loud thunder as the car zips through loops and climbs the 224 foot tower. Once you reach the top you will not believe what happens. It’s true you will have to come down, but Speed doesn’t take you down like any other rollercoaster might. In Speed you will travel back the way you came as the entire rollercoaster will begin to work in reverse at the same mind blowing speeds. Speed is suitable for anyone that is over 54 inches tall. Rollercoaster lovers will not want to miss this crazy ride!

You are not allowed to film the experience and there are no video clips on the internet. You can BUY one still shot, which is just not the same. Really disappointed that you cannot see a clip of the experience in ACTION! You may be able to entice more business with a video or allowing the rider to film it. Roller Coaster parks that are proud of their extreme coaster, provide a video clip. .
