Situated 900 feet above the ground, the High Roller races plucky passengers around the tower on 865 feet of track, banking at 32-degree angles, at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. The bright yellow cars are visible from miles around as they encircle the soaring tower at lightning speed. Thrill ride aficionados from all over the world are calling the Big Shot, located at the summit of the tower, the king of all thrill rides. Up to 16 fearless passengers sit alongside one another as they are thrust 160 feet up the 228-foot spire of the tower at speeds up to 45 miles per hour, before being dropped into a freefall. Riders experience up to 4 g's on the rapid ascent and negative g's as they descend.
Passengers claim that it is the ultimate high and they are often eager to repeat the experience.
