Answer 2

The use was poor and management took it down about six months ago or more.  Eventually they plan on another type of ride.  The rollercoaster was sold to a local collector Dr Lonnie Hammergron.  

Answer 3

Gone ... too many problems with it.One time it came off the track while I was in line to go on it. Needless to say ... I never did go on it and would never after that.

Answer 4

Consider it a blessing that the Stratosphere took it down.  The stratosphere roller coasters didn't have the best safety. It happened more than once the coaster malfunctioning an people were stuck up there for hours at a time!  

Answer 5
