I think I'll have to pass on this one!
That second to the last shot cinched it for me. (And the last one didn't help any, lol!)

Even my "roller coaster loving Wife" said "NO WAY!! at the sight of the third pic. Then she saw the last pic with the umm, wet stuff and the almost other stuff and that was the cement.

Yep.....pretty bad.
In Vegas at the
Stratosphere they have a rollar coaster at the top and now they have a chair thing that swings out away from the casino and back.......the building is very, very high and these people are just sitting in chairs swinging out over Vegas.......
Last year I had a room at the Las Vegas Hilton (for the Con, of course) with a view of this hotel and the 'rides'.......way higher up that me......and I'd see this chair thing and cringe. Granted that hotel isn't near the Hilton.....but I could just see (or imagine) the people's legs and feet dangling from those chairs.
Sorry no pictures......just talking about it is enough to
me.

The last time I was in Vegas (December '02, I think), the roller coaster was down for maintenance. I don't think they had the chair thingy then. What they did have was a thing that shoots you straight up a rail on top of the Stratosphere. I did that. I was scared to death that my seat belt would break, but I was glad I did it. Afterwards.

Yeah.....they still have that one, too. And I'm glad you made it back.
