For the past several years, I have organized trips to various attractions that involve Not Fearing Heights: Tandem Skydiving (from an actual airplane), Indoor Skydiving (in a vertical wind tunnel), and the Stratosphere's SkyJump. Last year we did the Voodoo Zipline between the Rio hotel towers.
I would like to continue that tradition this year. But, first we must decide on which rides to go on!
The Freemont Street area has two new "Slotzilla" attractions we can try: The Zip Line (where one is seated, for $20), and the Zoom Line (where one flies Superman-style, on a higher line, for $40). The Zoom Line would be my first choice. If we have time, I could try both for comparison purposes. More information can be found in this ugly-looking, buy still informative web site: http://ift.tt/1v7o6en
Another option could be: Insanity: The Ride, where you are swung over the top of the Stratosphere tower! We almost did this two years ago, but it was closed due to high winds. I would like to try this thing out, at some point in my life, if I can ever manage to get there when it is open! (I have done all the other rides on top of the Stratosphere.) Prices: $18 Tower Admission required before ride tickets. Each ride (including Insanity) is $15 in addition to that. So Insanity, alone, will cost $33 total. More Info: http://ift.tt/1L0dUI7
For those less daring, perhaps a tumble through the giant High Roller Observation Wheel would be sufficient. I would actually like to go on that thing, too, even though it is far less insane than the other two options. Ticket prices seem to vary depending on your age, time of the ride, and if you want an extra-long ride with an open bar.
And, I am open to other ideas, if anyone has any.
So, who is up for any of these crazy things?!
