Some people refer to Las Vegas as Disneyland for adults, but even when you’re an adult, sometimes you still want to act like a kid. There’s no better place to relive that childlike nostalgia than at The Big Apple Coaster and Arcade. In the arcade, play video games like NBA Jam, old-school arcade classics like Skee-Ball and air hockey, or try to win some big-ticket prizes by playing Bust the Balloon or Stacker. As for the coaster, you better have a strong stomach. Starting off with two huge drops, you’ll soon be twisting and looping alongside New York-New York’s pseudo-Manhattan skyline. The roller coaster was also the first in the world to feature a heartline twist and dive maneuver, which flips the car completely upside down and settles into a gut-wrenching drop. So, sit back, channel your childhood, and enjoy the ride.
