We stayed at the Excalibur hotel in 2017 and our room had a perfect view of the coaster and New York New York. I remember practically begging my family to go on it cause we've always been coaster fans but after reading a few reviews and finding out it was $15 a person per ride we opted out. I half regret not getting the credit but I also am slightly grateful to have not been traumatized by it.

I have vague memories of riding this as a kid around when it first opened. I think it was this one, but really I only remember riding a coaster I believe was during a trip to visit my grandparents who lived in Vegas, and the feeling of my head smacking around inside the over-the-shoulder restraints

Rode this in 2018 and 100% that heart-line roll is a real doozy. Its so jarring, but the rest of the ride is really nice since you get an amazing view. Also I should add that there is virtually no wait to ride it!

I remember riding this in the late 90's. My teenage coaster fanatic self loved it! I do remember it being rough, but the fun factor far outweighed the roughness. I occasionally have random thoughts to this day about it's signature element. I also remember returning a few years later and passing when I saw the $9 price.

Love your channel. Just got off a plane from Orlando having ridden RotR and also Maku for the first time. Loved Maku...incredibly smooth and as for RotR? Greatest attraction ever. We rode the Manhatten Express in 1997, the year it opened. It was the back of my head i remember hitting against the back rest. Ouch! No mention in the video of another issue the coaster had....If you tried to use the pool at the NYNY you were directly below the hill climb at the start. A relaxing pool experience it was not! :D
