Speed - The Ride at Sahara

Fodor's Review:

Launched from inside the NASCAR Cafe, the roller coaster uses magnetic technology to propel riders 25 feet down through an underground tunnel, around a loop, and in and around the massive Sahara marquee, accelerating from speeds of 35 mph to its fastest speed of 70 mph in two seconds. You stop at 224 feet above the Strip, then you do the entire path again -- only backward.

  • Cost: $10, unlimited day pass (roller coaster and Speedway rides) $19.95
  • Open: Mon.-Thurs. noon-10, Fri. and Sat. 11-midnight, Sun. 11-10
