Aptly named "SPEED - The Ride," the NASCAR Cafe's new roller coaster reaches 70 mph. The first roller coaster of its kind in the Western United States, SPEED uses LIMS (Linear Induction Motors) to quickly reach high speeds through magnetic force. SPEED begins inside the NASCAR Cafe in the Sahara Hotel, where a high-speed launch propels passengers along the Las Vegas Strip. SPEED carries passengers through an underground tunnel 25 feet below the surface, a breathtaking loop, an exhilarating straightaway, high speed turns, through the Sahara Marquee, and up a dizzying 90 degree incline that ends 224 feet above ground before returning the passengers on a backward route through the same path. The renowned attractions company, Premier Rides, designed SPEED. |
