The Roller Coaster

The Roller Coaster is a steel hypercoaster at the New York-New York Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas that spans across the resort grounds with drops, loops, and banked turns. The ride achieves substantial speeds and features multiple inversions along its course through the property.

The ride was built in 1997 by Japanese manufacturer TOGO as part of the resort's original development. Over time, the attraction was updated with new components to enhance performance and rider experience.

The train cars look like New York City yellow taxis, traveling through a miniature Manhattan skyline featuring replicas of famous New York structures. Visitors experience the feeling of speeding through the city while passing by recognizable buildings and landmarks.

Visitors should arrive early when wait times tend to be shorter, especially during peak hours in Las Vegas. Comfortable shoes and light clothing are advisable since much of the queue is outdoors before boarding the ride.

Couples can hold wedding ceremonies onboard and exchange vows while riding the coaster. This makes the attraction an unusual venue for special life moments.
