So, we had a half-dozen guys from Orange County who are all pushin' 40 years old, road trippin' to Vegas. So, how edgy could we get? Not very. But I told everyone they had to do this before we could enter town...
At State line, there's a roller coaster that's 22 stories tall. When they built it, it was the tallest and fastest (95mph) in the country.
It's at this cheesy casino with a bar where they serve $1 drafts and hot dogs. So, I said we all had to down 2 drafts and eat a dog. Then some genious added that we all had to do a Jaegermeister shot on top of that (he's the guy in the background trying to flash "The shocker" through the entire ride)
Three of the guys chickened out of going on the ride.
I shot video, it's pretty damn shaky (the thing says it reaches 8 G-forces) but I figure the setup and the sound alone are worth a laugh. If you ever get a chance to ride this thing, go for it, the first drop alone is damn punishing.
