With a roller coaster encircling the New York, New York Hotel, locals and tourists alike take interest in riding the Big Apple Roller Coaster in the heart of Las Vegas.

“I had a lot of fun when I rode the roller coaster. I had an all-day pass, so I was able to ride it as many times as I wanted. I got to see The Strip whilst screaming my head off,” sophomore Hailey Colton said.

“It was very nerve-wracking because it was actually the first roller coaster I’ve ever ridden so as I was going up the slope, I could feel my heart racing and my palms sweating. At the end, I felt gratified because it helped me get over my fear of roller coasters and caused me to actually enjoy them,” sophomore Jorge Carrera said.

“I caught myself screaming a few times because I felt bad for the other people screaming,” senior Jan Karrell said.
