Need to go to Vegas

I'm not much of a gambler, though I enjoy the blackjack tables and poker action (low stakes, of course). But I just saw on the TV news why I gotta go.

There's a new ride at the top of the Stratosphere. It's kind of a generic swing ride - like the Orange Stinger - but there's a twist. You load up, and a mechanical arm rotates the ride out over the city at 1000 or so feet up. All the seats face inward, so when it starts to spin you, the forces raise the seats and you are looking straight down while you spin.

I gotta try that.
