# Sky Scream Roller Coaster, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

# Insanity Ride on Stratosphere, Las Vegas, USA

Located on the top of the STRAT Hotel (previously called Stratosphere), Casino and SkyPod in LA, Nevada, USA, this ride is correctly named so. You really gotta be insane to try this 900 ft. tall thrill ride which dangles its passengers with its mechanical arm and then spins them in the open air –at a 70-degree angle while at the same time reaching up to 40 mph. So basically this mechanical arm is extending you around 64 feet over the north edge of the hotel and is rotating you up to three Gs. If you are brave enough to keep your eyes open during the ride, you can grasp a breath-taking view of Las Vegas, but then, I am guessing you need to close your eyes for all the praying, no?

Just Kidding! Try to not take this ride with a full stomach or if you get dizzy easily.
