Desperado, Hypercoaster at Buffalo Bill's Casino in Primm, Nevada, United States.

The steel roller coaster stretches 5,843 feet in length, rises 209 feet high, and drops riders through a 225-foot descent at speeds reaching 80 mph.

Arrow Dynamics constructed this steel hypercoaster in 1994, making it the tallest roller coaster in the Guinness Book of Records for 1996.

The roller coaster represents the evolution of casino entertainment, combining traditional gambling facilities with mechanical attractions to appeal to interstate travelers.

Riders experience four substantial drops throughout the course, with the initial plunge leading through a dark tunnel before ascending to subsequent elevation changes.

The track configuration includes indoor sections that pass through the main casino floor, allowing gamblers to observe the coaster while playing at their tables.
