“Fun, but Expensive”

My fiance and I love rollercoasters so we wanted to ride the manhatten express, but didn't really want to pay $14 each to ride. I kept an eye out for a coupon and finally found one for $4 off.

There are lockers (50 cents) to store belonings since you can't take them on the ride. The ride was short, but good with one loop and a half corkscrew leading into half a loop. We rode at night and it was really cool to be outside and see the lights of the strip from above.

I'd read that it was bumpy so I knew to hold my head back and that worked fine. There are two photos taken during the ride - one of the entire train and one of each set of two seats.

Good at half the price. A day pass is available for about $25, but I'm not sure you'd need to ride more than once.

“Awsome Coaster”

I loved this roller coaster. I love roller coasters in general. Yes it was a little short, but some of the best coasters do not need length. Its the positive and negative vertical G's that make the difference.

It was awsome rolling past the statue of liberty, and going into a sprial and immediately into a 1/2 loop down. The speed was perfect and the turns, twists, etc were perfectly placed. It was a smooth ride, was no bumpy at all.

Yes the $13 was steep, but I would do it again if I had $$$ to waste.

“Disappointing”

The ride was a little bumpy, but not too bad. I love rollercoasters, but thought this one was a little boring. It was also extremely overpriced and quite short. That said, I'm glad I rode it once, just to have another rollercoaster experience to compare, but definitely NOT worth a second ride.

“Worst Rollercoaster Ever!”

I road this for the first time in July 2006. Let's just say I won't be riding it this summer. The ride is very rough. The entire time, my head was being bashed around. After I got off the ride I had the worst headache and backache. I love rollercoasters and this one is a major disappointment.

Waste of money and time.

“whiplash warning”

Would you pay $12 for a spinal injury? It seems that in late July 2005 I did just that. While entering a loop on the Manhattan Express, I felt my neck pop. I awoke the next day to excruciating pain. After a year of constant pain and various attempts at physiotherapy, I was recently diagnosed with a herniated cervical disc C5-C6, and am now facing the choice between surgery and a life of pain.
