Summer of 2008
During the Summer of 2008 I went to California. Here I visited Las Vegas and San Francisco. However, this post I am going to talk about the highlight of the whole trip which was Las Vegas and to specify even more the Stratosphere.
Insanity - Stratosphere
We head to the top of the Stratosphere Casino, Hotel & Tower to find out. Jutting 1,149 feet into the Vegas skyline, the iconic Stratosphere Tower which is the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States and one of the most exciting attractions among Las Vegas resorts. The exceptional Vegas resort hotel offers one-of-a-kind thrills you can’t find anywhere else in Las Vegas, including the world’s highest thrill rides. So, if you’re an adrenaline junky, a thrill seeker, or a daredevil – the Vegas resort tower is the place for you. Just like it was for me!!
I had just turned 11 when I experienced one of the most breath-taking experiences of my life. I decided to try out the 'Insanity' ride on the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas - which is said to be the scariest ride in the World!
Luckily! My Dad took a video of me on the ride (So I can share it with you!). My brother was too much of a wimp to go on so I ended up sitting there on my own next to a stranger! (But we both screamed our hearts out together). Meanwhile, my Mum was too scared to even look (she thought I was too young and small and that I was going to fall out!). But I insisted that I wanted to go on and now looking back on it, I am bloody happy I did. Always take a risk and grab opportunities! (my rather cliché motto!). I uploaded two videos my Dad took whilst I was on the ride (I am sitting next the guy with the huge muscles!! :)
The video above shows the ride taking off.
