pkiboy Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Good find Ryan. I rode Speed the ride back in 06. One of my fav launch coasters. More info on this http://www.saharavegas.com/news-update/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvo Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'm pretty impressed that a hotel in vegas has been there since 1952. Seems like a very long life for a resort out there, the way they just knock things down at will. i never got a chance to see or ride Speed: TR, but it looked pretty fun. Oh well... :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Kid Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 when I rode it I thought it was a very impressive ride. I will be POVing it next weekend for sure. But what im wondering is will Nascar Cafe remain open which the ride is located. Hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 That's too bad. Another coaster to add to my list of ones I'll never get to ride but I could have when I was out there in 2001 if certain September events hadn't occured, a list only occupied by High Roller until now. (Don't go anywhere Canyon Blaster, I plan on getting to you someday!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustbucket Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 This was a nice coaster. Too bad this is closing. The Speed the Ride reminded me somewhat of Mr. Freeze although Mr. Freeze is better. For those who will visit Las Vegas, ride this coaster before it closes. I am hoping that this coaster can be relocated.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
