Strand Me Once It’s Your Fault …

posted in Las Vegas |

Strand me twice, it’s my fault.

On my way back from Downtown yesterday, I couldn’t help but notice that the “Speed” roller coaster was going strong and full of people just 3 short days after this:

“April 5, 2007 Some thrill seekers got a little more than they paid for when the roller coaster at the Sahara came to a screeching halt Thursday afternoon.

One by one, riders were plucked off the roller coaster at the Sahara. Sixteen people were on the thrill-ride called Speed when it got stuck on a curve. Riders were stuck there for about an hour while firefighters worked to get them back onto solid ground.

Riders say the roller coaster just stopped shortly after it got rolling. Clark County fire fighters had to use a ladder to remove the riders one by one.”

Maybe I’m a big pussy, but I will personally wait longer than three days to make damn sure they have completely fixed the problem.

    And when I read that, I thought how much fun it sounded, as long as no one got hurt. I would hope the Sahara offered them some comped rides in the future! Every time I have guests, we have to go ride that…I love it, but wish it lasted twice as long.
