We have talked about the drinks in Vegas and the French Toast and Mexican food… Now we are moving onto the ROLLER COASTERS!
Being 6′4″ tall I usually stay away from most amusement park rides that I might not fit comfortably in but that didn’t stop me from tagging along with the bachelor party and giving “DESPERADO” in Primm, Nevada a try!
Boy am I glad I did! So far that is the best roller coaster I have been on in my entire life. We loved it so much we came back again on Sunday and this time purchased wrist bands that let us ride as much as we wanted. We rode in the front, the back, and the middle. In our minds the middle is the best because of the sensation the car give you going over the humps when the car leaves the track. We also tried with our eyes closed… GREAT idea for the 254 foot drop at the start but BAD idea for the rest. You can’t prep your body for the turns so you get flung about like a rag doll. My neck was sore my sides were bruised but hey… we had to try!
We also went on the New York New York coaster right in Vegas on the strip. That was very cool too but we still preferred Primm. There is one section of New York that will surprise you so I would say you should still do it!
I love the New York New York roller coaster, I wanted to do it again the last time we were there but ended up being too rushed. You don’t realize how high you are until you come out of the tunnel, that was my first heart in throat moment but it was so fun.
