The Big Apple Coaster at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino is an iconic rollercoaster thrill ride, and a unique way to enjoy the city’s panoramic views.

No better adventure combines the best of dizzying drops, loops, and spectacular views of the Las Vegas Strip all at once.

Big Apple Coaster, Rollercoaster Ride Price & Cost, Hours, Las Vegas

The roller coaster’s location is almost impossible to miss as it is located at the renowned intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue. Located in a picturesque setting, its unique environment closely resembles that of the scenic New York Harbor. There is a replica of the iconic Statue of Liberty and several key buildings of Manhattan here.

One of the first things that most visitors notice is that the rollercoaster seats are designed to look like New York’s distinct taxis. Once onboard the ride, it starts by ascending a steep hill, and if you have gone on a roller coaster before, this is the calm before the storm. The suspense is built-up by offering beautiful views of the Strip, but soak up these marvelous views as much as you can because, in the blink of an eye, you will be hurtling down towards the ground at speeds of up to 67 miles an hour!

The Big Apple Coaster is not your typical roller coaster, because its twists and turns are stomach-churning, and whose thrills are difficult to adequately capture in words. A delightful combination of hills, corkscrews, and 180-degree spirals come together to make an incredible adventure.

If you want to take the adventure a notch higher, make sure you choose the VR option to experience Virtual Reality while on the coaster. Once you don the headset, you experience an immensely immersive and sensory experience that gives the word ‘thrilling’ a whole new meaning!

When the rollercoaster finally comes to a stop, you will feel a surge of energy from all the excitement. Take home a photograph of your ride to immortalize the experience.

The Big Apple Coaster is open all week from 11am to 10pm.
