Or hop on the X-Scream roller coaster, which teeters riders off the edge from 866 feet up and dangles riders 27 feet over the edge of the tower. The ride aptly named “Insanity” lifts passengers by mechanical claw 64 feet over the edge of the SkyPod and spins them at up to three Gs while turning them over a 70-degree angle. Or buckle into the Big Shot and fly 160 feet into the air at 45 miles per hour up the tower’s mast to a height of 1,081 feet and back down. If your teen fits into that category, you can send them on SkyJump, a controlled jump that spirals you down 829 feet at 40 miles per hour and holds the Guinness World Record for the highest commercial decelerator.
Riders must be 4 years old or older, and those under 18 must have parental permission (with ID) to ride some of the rides. The iconic Strat Hotel, Casino & Skypod has some of the most terror-inducing thrill rides in the world-perfect for teens who love a scare.
