There are a huge number of various attractions in the world, but those that are really capable of capturing the imagination can be counted on the fingers. And among others, the hotel-casino, which bears the name "Las Vegas Stratosphere", stands out in a special way. Its observation tower is the highest in the city, but its attractions are considered the most attractive for tourists from all over the world.

Stratosphere Las Vegas

This building is like a magnet for all adherents of extreme sports and those who like to experience a crazy and somewhat sweet sense of danger. Indeed, looking at the Stratosphere swings, it is impossible to even imagine more elegant and at the same time frightening rides.

The hotel-casino has a rather impressive height - just over 350 m with a spire. If you stand at such a height and look down from behind the fence, then your head will already be spinning. And just imagine the feeling when, at the same height, there is nothing under your feet. This is how one of the carousels is arranged, which takes out all the thirsty thrill beyond the top tier.

If that's not enough for you, then you can get a couple more shots of adrenaline on two other devices: the Big Shot catapult and the XSCREAM trailer, which is quite harmless in appearance. But more on that below.

Speaking about the most dangerous attraction in the world, it is impossible not to mention the special entertainment that was indulged here a little earlier. During 1996-2005. Las Vegas Stratosphere tower was famous for its rollercoasters, which were later replaced by the above-described carousels. What happened? It's all about a small area in which the trailer was not able to develop sufficient speed. Because of these design limitations, fun was banned.

Here it is worth noting the fact that, provided there is a sufficient amount of territory, these roller coasters would not only have full right to exist, but absolutely justifiably could be considered the highest on the planet.

The Big Shot - catapult

So, if you overcame your fear and decided to climb to a height of three hundred meters in order to slightly improve your mood, then get ready for the fact that now your vestibular apparatus will experience serious stress. Almost everyone knows what a free fall is, but to experience this feeling for yourself ... Are you ready? If so, then the Stratosphere's oldest attraction, the Big Shot Catapult, is waiting!

This carousel is a square frame, along the perimeter of which chairs are installed. They break down with crazy speed and slide along the spire of the building, after which they brake sharply and just as rapidly head up. And here it is no longer possible to admire the opening landscapes, of course, because the fall speed exceeds 70 km / h with an additional acceleration of 4g.

Insanity the Ride - Madness Carousel

Not everyone can agree to participate in this action. The eloquent name of the carousel describes its essence as accurately as possible. Attraction Insanity the Ride, or "Madness", is somewhat similar to a huge claw, on each tentacle of which there are seats. Those who want to experience real horror sit down in these chairs and fix themselves in them, after which the rotary console takes the carousel 20 m outside the tower.

At this moment, the sensations of the direct participants of the event are immediately multiplied by a 300-meter height. But that's not all! Once you are out of the "Stratosphere", the carousel begins to spin up quickly, while the speed reaches 65 km / h. At the same time, the chairs are smoothly retracted, approaching a horizontal position. Thus, happy passengers experience an overload of about 3g and can see the ground in front of them, which is at a distance of just under 300 m.

Adding excitement is the fact that the chairs on this crazy carousel are completely open and fans of extreme sports have the opportunity to fully experience the beauty of free rotation over a giant abyss. Feelings indescribable!

XSCREAM - trailer

This attraction is the youngest and is lower than the first two - at a height of only 264 m. But despite this, the baby "XSCREAM" bears the title of the highest swing in the world. This small trailer is considered the most dangerous entertainment. Why? Judge for yourself:

• a relatively large and rather weighty structure balances at an impressive height;
• passengers are fixed in their seats, but the trailer itself remains open;
• under all the above conditions, the carousel starts its movement over the abyss, accelerates quickly and brakes sharply;
• during braking, the nose of the trailer is outside the front edge of the rail.

It is here that you can experience an all-consuming horror and “reward” yourself with a new phobia. The XSCREAM trailer is the scariest and most dangerous attraction not only in the Las Vegas Stratosphere hotel-casino, but throughout the world. By the way, of all the three attractions located in this building, the trailer is the least in demand. A little strange, isn't it?

In the article, we will look at the top 10 scariest and most noteworthy rides in the world. Believe me, they are worth visiting, because impressions cannot be expressed in words, it must be based on personal feelings and experiences.

Of course, you can get acquainted with the most terrible attractions in the world from a photo on the Internet, but visiting attractions of this kind not only provides unforgettable impressions and memories, it has a positive effect on human health. The essence of the process is such that when there is a thrill in the blood, a surge of oxygen is carried out, which has an exciting effect on the body's defense system and blood circulation in general. With extreme sensations, a substance such as endorphin is released into the human body. It can not only improve the general well-being of a person, but also serve as an analgesic.

The capsule is able to reach an incredible speed of 135 kilometers per hour and quickly accelerate in just 3-4 seconds. It will appeal to lovers of adrenaline. The reaction of fans to tickle their nerves to the movement of the capsule is very ambiguous: some visitors try to scream from the sudden horror that has overtaken them, others are simply in complete silence before, as it seems, impending death.

Adding to the horror is the fact that a person does not feel any support under their feet, since the chairs, due to their design, hang in the air on the sides of the rail.

This is one of the very first attractions of the complex. The Big Shot catapult was opened in 1996. But even today it is considered the highest in the world: it raises the brave men to a height of 329 meters, and then, at a speed exceeding 70 km / h and with an acceleration of 4g, throws them from a great height into free fall.

Many consider the Big Shot catapult to be the best observation deck in USA. But not everyone, falling down at such a speed, can enjoy the luxurious scenery outside the window.
