Sammey Soliman j,m.bui.
the x scarm. Holly suit that so scary 😫😫😫😫😫
Sammey Soliman 😂 me too
The inventor of that ride has a sick sense of humour
He's got the Final Destination box set.
Yes I know a song about that. 🤕
I went on it, never again
I went on this and it cured my constipation
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my god so cute hahah. Enjoy
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 i watched these coasters on tv and got scared shitless
Even if I were confident in the engineering, I'd never trust the maintenance.
Wait till you hear about airplanes.
I KNOW! OMG! what if this thing freaking BROKE while you were riding it?!?!?!? SOOOO scary!
@Aww congrats being THAT GUY to take a joke seriously. Step up for your prize!
Oh don't be ridiculous. I'm sure the mildly drunk guy with 5 teeth they have fixing those things is more than fit for the task
@@Agave310 But you have to be a professional to work on airplanes. Anyone off the streets can work on a ride.
I can sometimes barely walk net to the rail guard thing at the mall on the second floor,so i think I'll pass lol
AtariFireGaming me too, my legs start trembling and i just feel like i'm gonna fall. I can't even sit down even when there's a barrier coz i'll just think i'm gonna roll off something stupid by accident
AtariFireGaming Your profile picture of 2-D scared me xD
AtariFireGaming haha I thought I was the only one 🤣
AtariFireGaming same I always feel like I’m going to slip and fall over for some reason
Omg me two
That third ride was by far the scariest one I have ever seen in my opinion. It doesn't matter how much someone pays me, I will never EVER get on that ride.
Me too. I'm pretty good with heights ( I went in King da ka front row for the first time) but I would never ever go on that, cause if anything breaks everyone is dead.
If that's the scariest ride you've ever seen, it must be the first too
Pizza Parker I've gotten on it before but in the third row
Nothing is scarier then jumping off the 108 floor, 855 feet high, NOTHING!!!
Pizza Parker I went on that ride when I was 8 it is not scary
3:07 I did it and I was in front. Never been so scared in my life. Never doing that again.
Where it is??

I use to be a an adrenaline junkie when it came to heights! I was the kid that hung of tower block balconies by my fingers just for frills! Once I turned 30 it all changed, now I have panic attacks just thinking about unsafe heights. It's mad how some things change!
Same
You got some sense 👍
That gene that tells you NOT to die doing reckless things kicks into operation! Also, by 30 most people have a job that is their career, a life partner with whom they may want a family, a sense of some legacy they want...i.e., they have some REAL stakes in wanting to live.
Same. This is 30

There are so many things that could kill a person in life if things go wrong that you pretty much can't do anything if you lived thinking that way.
These ride will shut down for good.
Ha, no. These rides are far from being closed. These rides are designed to play with your fear of heights.
you're fucked.
Find out next time on the next Dragonball Z
Did the BIG SHOT back in 2004. It is a lot more terrifying during the daytime because you can SEE how HIGH you are above the ground and you can't see any support below you! Would do it again in a heart beat :)
Imagine if the brakes stopped working on that green roller coaster ride.
well thing is they're is a point where you obviously think "this will logically slow NOW", but it doesn't. Believe me, that 1 second of doubt is very painful.
I'll literally scream my soul out before the ride would even crash the ground and kill me first.
@@TheWillikids LMAO
@@TheWillikids hahaha real talk 💯
Imagine your stove blew up and killed everyone in your house, plenty of things can go wrong you shouldn't think everything will kill you

I went on the third one and I literally almost had a heart attack. We thought we’re gonna go on the second one. I’m so scared of being up that high I almost died from just the thought of something breaking
U r brave, glad u made it ok.
Glad You Made it i would feel the same
Everyone gansta until you hear a loud click and the breaks ain’t workin anymore-
Oh man, that third ride is bad enough, but can you imagine being seated
in the first seats?!
That's what I was thinking. I'd be in the middle bc at least I wouldn't be the first to go :/
Ahhw E-Any id be in the VERY back
That's the best seat.
Just went on it a few hours ago, front seat. It was terrifying and really really fun
@@ahhwe-any7434 you would all die at the same time that high up and even if you didn’t, it would be a milliseconds difference
I've been suicidal my whole life and still wouldn't do this.

You can see everyone on that green ride contemplating their life decisions
Suicidal people and “amusement” parks most be best friends.

I cryed afterward, and there is a sign on the exit saying "It's ok to cry like a baby" :'|

I agree on that BC I am scared of heights even still I wasn't I still won't
4 words. do you have faceQ?
Not just no but, HELL NO.
that’s three words a period and a number, silly goose
Exactly 😭😭😭
I went to the stratosphere tower sometime in middle school/early high school because I have family that lives in las vegas, I've never been afraid of rollercoasters but when you're at over 1000 feet and can see that far in every direction it is like a new world, absolutely terrifying. I couldn't even bring myself to get close to the windows or guards to even look off the edges, let alone go on such rides. It's just nuts.
*Unbuckles seatbelt*
Everyone else on the third ride:
👁👃👁
👄
I would love to do all of those because I love roller coasters and adrenaline and stuff like that but accidents do happen and that scares the shit out of me, not the rides themselves
+jennifer vets Here's the thing. It's Vegas. Not a local fair. It's about as safe as you can possibly be. That's bread and butter for Vegas.
+Alain Lalonde true, but how often are the rides checked? I already made up mind about doing the sky jump because I really want to and I also want to do the rides but the thought of the breaks on the X scream not working or a harness failing on insanity is more terrifying than the rides themselves
jennifer vets Well. I don't know really. But I would assume that because it's Las Vegas, and it's all about perception and the $$ that they make sure these things are taken care of like the plane you travel on. It's not a local fair here. That's the way I approached it mentally. I wasn't worried about break downs. But... Maybe that's me after a few beers. If I go back, which I might for my 42nd, I'll sky jump for sure first thing. That's a fact. :P If I die I die.. Ah well.. : )
+Alain Lalonde okay... I mean I love "danger and adrenaline" but I'm also really safe about it.
Have you done any of these?
Well. I don't know really. But I would assume that because it's Las Vegas, and it's all about perception and the $$ that they make sure these things are taken care of like the plane you travel on. It's not a local fair here. That's the way I approached it mentally. I wasn't worried about break downs. But... Maybe that's me after a few beers. If I go back, which I might for my 42nd, I'll sky jump for sure first thing. That's a fact. :P If I die I die.. Ah well.. : )
Those sirens are for me cus I would have had a hearth attack
Is that when you freak out and destroy someone's fireplace?
Hearth
These are all, really fun, for the right person. I am a thrill seeker and I really enjoyed it, and was a bit scared by the height itself. I was comfortable with the safety of all the rides as the employees staple (check by pulling up) your restraints, not once, but twice (overkill in my opinion, but safety first). The rides are “open air” with the design of the seating, and are the best experience at night. The rides can really be an incredible, once in a lifetime experience, just make sure you know what you’re getting into.
I’ve been on all of these rides before, I was very nervous but it was absolutely amazing! I loved it
Oh WOW!!! I can actually pay to have a heart attack. Where do I sign up for this piece of genius inspiring technology?
The High Roller (closed in 2005 due to frequent breakdowns), X-Scream, Big Shot and Insanity rides should be ideas for the next sequel of Final Destination.
High Roller is not shut down, or at least wasn't when we were there in October 2015
Because there is a new observation wheel with the same name.
April, you are confusing the High Roller Observation wheel with the High Roller Stratosphere coaster. The latter closed in 2005. The context of this video is what is or was installed on the Stratosphere.
The next sequel is gonna kill the one in charge... Of the ride, I mean. Clearly you can't kill final destination. But can attempt to escape it
Just left the High Roller yesterday
Who else is watching with their hands sweating
cause I am
I rode all of these rides and did the Skyjump...I tell you my life is changed....I loved it!!!
That 3rd ride if one break fails everyones dead 😐
Ikr
Exactly what I was thinking.
Joseph Capizzo if any of these fails then everyone is dead lol
+Joseph Capizzo the wedge at the end of it is a hard break. it cant fail
Wavybullets I didn't think about what would happen to the people below if the ride ever broke.
i am deathly afraid of heights and I did ALL THREE of these today. these videos do not do them justice, they are utterly terrifying. I once jumped from a plane doing a tandem jump and my chute didn't open properly, and each of these rides were 100x scarier than that!!
by far, the INSANITY ride is the scariest. you can't really tell but you are spinning very fast and very conceivably, you could possibly fall out if u wiggled around. the guy raising his hands during that ride is a total fool!
just a heads up for anyone here posting that these aren't scary. you are either lying or totally insane!!
+Cliff John You are not deathly afraid of heights then. I have a serious phobia of heights and I can't ride any rides at all. If I step on a ladder to the third step I start freaking out and I have panic attacks. I can barely step on a stool or a chair to hang something up in my house, and sometimes I can't even do that, I freak out too much. No one in the world could ever pay me enough money to go on any of these rides as it gives me anxiety and fear just watching this video... do not say "deathly afraid of heights" when you aren't that scared. You may be leery or kind of nervous about heights but if you were able to actually go on these rides, then ummmmm no. ESPECIALLY since you say you actually jumped out of a damn plane... and your parachute did not work, and then you still go on these rides? I call B/S on you.
That looks awesome the sky jump honestly I would be scared to do it at first but knowing me I would end up doing it...
+Krave Zomby I am deathly afraid of heights. one time I jumped from a plane to get over it and my chute didn't open properly, which made it worse. this ride was much, much scarier than that incident!
+Krave Zomby just cos you can help but over react dosent mean anyone elses fear is invalid
wow
how did you survive that ?
did you land on water or it wasn't that high
or you just grapped something when you fell
That second one I rode in 2009, and God is my witness that was probably one of the most relaxing rides I’ve ever been on. They were playing some relaxing music and it felt like a calm merry go round.
Stop talking bullshit
This one is scariest one to me. Just would feel like torture.
I've been on so many rides in my life. The X-Scream (front row) was the scariest for sure.
that the only one I did, front row aswell, never doing it again.
That third ride, hell to nah to the nah nah nah
i would get in the middle
lmao
+BIHH its Nyia same
Lmao same thing i say. what if it malfunctions and you do fall off. 😱😱 scary
same 😂😂
it doesn't take much of an imagination to think of what could happen. Over time metal fatigue syndrome cause small cracks to form in the bolts. if they don't see them.. .oooops
+Jay B yep, my thought's exactly. I don't trust engineering or mechanics in genral enough for that
They inspect the rides daily. Zero possibility of that happening
Bryson the Mad Pencil
These aren’t fair attractions lol.
@Hoppy the Mad Pencil GP comment these things are likely held by magnets and hard brakes there is no way that with daily inspection and part replacement that anything will happen. It's basically just a kiddie ride but high up.
Tried, checked and tested every single day and I still would not ride it.
I saw these when I went, I swear I could hear their screams from far away
I went on all these rides. Even did the sky jump twice. They’re a lot of fun and not that scary once you do one. I would definitely do them again!
I am not sure if I can ride these. I usually ride anything, but technical failures do occur, and if they occur here you are toast. I looked into all of these rides and how they work. When you jump off the building, it's not an actual free fall. You are hooked up to a machine called a deccelerator. It's a machine that controls the fall and slows you down when you get to the bottom.. What if that machine malfunctions? Do you just plummet into the ground? WHat happens if the machine stops on the way down? Do you just dangle there 100's of feet off the ground? No shot.
Said perfectly. Fuck that noise. six flags new England had a 415 swing ride now that I won't go on. I'll go on any wooden or steel coaster, but not fucking swings supported by chains 415 feet up. Nah.
I don't know about X-Scream , but when I was living in Vegas , Insanity got stuck for almost 2 hours face down .They had to hand crank it back in . These people were terrified when they finally got off . You are right to be afraid . To me it was scary enough looking out of the window on the floor below .
Oh HELL no. If that had happened to me I would have crapped my pants, cried like a french girl and puked. Hell, I was ready to do those things anyway and the ride DIDN'T malfunction.
vincent cappello dude you can't worry about that stuff. its probably checked or inspected everyday.
Dreyness You know you are more likely to die in a car accident then on these rides right?
I'm afraid of heights....thats why my ass is still alive!
Lol, same here.
+Rail Roader sameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee here
woow
Lmao, relatable
Howdy Doody Same, I don't like roller coasters I'm scared at. But all my family is not scared :( Nice to know someone is the same as me out here
I'm not that afraid of heights myself, but this... this is certainly an exception.
Why do I have such bad anxiety watching this like My whole body is so tense and I’m just watching from my couch 2 feet of the ground lol
OMG! lol me too!
I would ask first: If I look down can I get all my money back?
ikr me too
No, but if you look down they get their food back.
and the person below needs to shower lol

These Rides are on my bucket list!!!
Only one of these I'd ride is the swing, I've ridden those before and they are my favorites. However being on one this high up would be awesome! Definitely gonna do this now that I live here in vegas.
I respect anyone who can bungee jump because FUCK THAT SHIT NOOOO WAY AM I EVER DOING THAT FUCK NO
Exactly like bitch where? you can't pay me enough money to do that
You don't really bungee jump off of it you just just jump off and gravity makes you go down you don't come back up yo the spot where you jumped off
Ada Nowak still scary af
To be honest it looks scary but man it was pretty sick!!! I sky jump march 2014 its worth jump
holy fucknuts, i respect you immensely for being able to do that :o
Sickest rides i've ever been on! The speed with which you go up and down on the elevator kinda one is beyond words. Too much adrenaline!

1:50 I might die if I heard that in that situation.

Why not?!
I went once on all of them and NEVER AGAIN me and my friend Andy were screaming and crying our guts out and begging it to stop!!!😰😰
I went there, and tbh it felt like vr
That jump was terrifying until about 5 seconds in, where it became very exhilarating and serene and then it ends
Yeah no thank you.
Watching these make me anxious aghhh
I'd rather jump off the building.
It'sBoshyTime! Lmao
They have a sky jump, where you secured. Or would you like no harness, aka the best one.
Me too. Heaven here I come!
That midget green coaster ride will make my soul fly out of my body🥶😖

I just went on it last week, the first time on these rides is scary, but the second and third time isn't that bad
Exactly what I was gonna say!!!
Devan Fujinaka k
Technically 6 words because "I'm" means I am...
I went there last week. I tried them all but the free fall. It was great. Adrenaline at it best!
I am at the strat right now lol and I'm just seeing what to expect tomorrow. Thanks for the video! Sadly the roller coaster is closed down (said the front desk) but everything else looks fun!
That ride is so dangerous God for bid we falls of like I would be scared
You won't fall off. Lol
i went on it :P
youd be scaring "falling" off
you guys have big balls ,i wont even go on normal roller coasters lol
omg that dude on a green ride, hes lonely af
This is on my bucket list
I love the stratosphere! Only did the second ride tho. it was awesome.
Fun fact , it's called the Strat now, they sold the word Sphere to MGM for 30 million dollars and a new casino the MGM Sphere will be coming in 2024-25. With a Giant snow globe feature that can be seen from an airplane and out of space. Wow.
Oh hell no. That city looks so much better at night
I was up there just last year and fuck that. It's scary enough just to be way up there
Did everything! So exciting!!!
Perfect!!!!! I loved It.
Do they have to sign some sort of disclaimer or something before getting on ?
Parachutes should be mandatory too.
scary even watching it on youtube
It is so unbelievably safe that parachutes are out of the question. You also need to be trained before handling a parachute otherwise you can slam into the building while falling. These coasters are way way more reliable than a parachute will ever be.
@@demonghost6361 rather be slammed Into a building than fall to my death
I just pissed my pants watching this
Lol your profile pic tho.
Great video 👍
went on this a couple years back was terrified of them all, didn’t do the bungie jump but the one where you spin around my seat wasn’t locked till i had did it myself a few seconds before the ride started still lucky to be alive lol
I got to go on all three rides while on my trip in Vegas, and as a person who has a fear of heights, these were honestly not that bad. Instead, I found them to be super fun! I found Insanity to be quite cool, as looking down the Stratosphere tower is very unique and dizzying.The second ride, X-Scream, is just pure fun, even though I'll admit that moving at a quick speed towards the edge is a little frightening. However, my favorite of the three was definitely Big Shot. Such a fun ride! Getting launched up and getting that view of Las Vegas is absolutely amazing, and the airtime you get going down is awesome. Overall, I didn't really found these rides to be "scary", but rather fun to ride. If I were given the chance to ride these again, I'd totally say yes!
But there's 4 rides? Wtf 🤔🤔🤔
+Professor Yoghurt the first bungee jumping one is separate and an additional $119.
an extra 119 per jump per person..wtf......thats black jack money buddy...
Ben Justice is
Ben Justice i wish i could go there but i woukd just watch hhahaha
These rides look like they are from Divergent for some reason
I was up there with no more than a dozen people for an hour, so I got to ride as many times as I liked. It was so much fun!
Fabulous view of the strip from there, I know because I've been up there 😀

shut up 😠😠😠
+Adam Medraño 3 words... what the fuck xd
I’m near fainting looking at this 🤤, I ate at the restaurant there but didn’t know about some of these.
Been on all these rides with my friends.. Was literally sick at the end, but loved it!!
You sir have bigger balls than me.
be thankful that you have a courageous enough mind and heart to do this.
if I had sat on the second and third I would have died because of heart attack, than they had to take my body out
I live in Vegas. I’ve rode all of them! They’re actually not that bad! Super fun! 🤣😍
It's really exciting
Have you ever gone Ziplining at the linq promenade or in downtown????
I am SO going to do this
Done it, it was awesome!
I rode Big Shot just 3 days ago and it was one of the BEST experiences in life!
Ay you play animal crossing!
I went on the needle ride when I was really young, 11 or so. I think it helped that it was @ night, so it didn't look as scary/high. Guess they don't have it anymore? Lol.
I would literally be shittin my self on those rides
OMG..... I'll just stand an watch! Hehe. :) Brave people!
On my bucket list!!!!
Damn! I'm sweating just by seeing this video.
I can see friends being like pay you 20$ to go on and your like HAA DEAL and when your on the ride you piss yourself
Yea because the ride cost 60$ a person per ride
i travelled from spain to ride these 3, can´t describe with words, simply fucking amazing, recommended at least once in a life!!
It was the sickest experience Ive ever had !!!
I got like 30 different phobias that won't allow me to do this 🥺🤪
Haha i've been there
the ride at 1:07 was absolutely amazing :D
And the "big shot" is also quite fun
😰
I did this on 10/21 for my 50th birthday. My hands were sooo sweaty! It was terrifying! I was screaming so loud that it made us all laugh! Do it. It’s so fun!
Should I do it?
I can’t wait to ride on them this friday
