What’s going on guys and welcome back to the channel! So today’s video wasn’t necessarily on my agenda, but I felt it was worth making after I rode what in my opinion is the most terrifying ride I’ve ever ridden, X-Scream on the Stratosphere in Las Vegas, Nevada. On my way back to school we ended passing through and Golden Entertainment granted me the opportunity to ride the attractions atop the tower, and like truly if you’re looking for a thrill, it’s up there. I thought there were no more rides that could scare me, but my opinion on that definitely changed after our visit to the STRAT. Like seriously, front row X-Scream made all the blood in my hands leave. Highly recommended destination for everyone here, even if you’re just there for the views. Anyways, with that in mind, I’m sure a lot of you are wondering what the video could be on, and well it comes from an attraction that used to operate atop this tower but no longer exists anymore. Being the highest roller coaster in the world when compared to surrounding terrain, today’s coaster is one that operated for nearly a decade, and closed back in 2005 for reasons I’ll explain later in this video. So what was it? And where did it come from? This is the story, of the STRAT Hotel, Casino, and Skypod’s High Roller! ??
