Stratosphere's
X Scream To Debut on Halloween
ED
KOCH , Las Vegas Sun
|
Like
a huge, mechanical dragonfly, a skycrane helicopter made
seven trips to the top of the 1,149-foot Stratosphere
this morning to carry up the 18 tons of Las Vegas' latest
thrill. Under a clear blue and nearly windless sky, some
of the many spectators who watched said the airlift was
a thrill of its own.
The helicopter was putting pieces in place for the Stratosphere's
X Scream ride, which will dangle riders over the edge
of the tower. Crowds of people stopped to watch the installation
of the ride's main components.
 When
the largest of the seven pieces -- 69 feet of track weighing
more than seven tons -- was safely set atop the Stratosphere,
there was applause from the roof of the tower and down
on the ground.
Mike Gilmartin, spokesman for the Stratosphere, said there
will be a bar next to the X Scream for riders who need
"liquid courage."
Many
of them may need that kind of fortification, since the
ride will dangle them more than 800 feet above the Strip.
Once
it is installed at the top of the Stratosphere,
the X Scream will be the world's third-highest amusement
park attraction, after the Stratosphere's Big Shot and
High Roller rides.
The
X Scream is scheduled to be assembled over the next two
weeks. Its projected opening date is Halloween.
