i rode the manhatten express several years ago, wanted to ride it on my last vegas trip, but some einstien decided that a single ride is worth 12 bucks.

no way!!! its an ok coaster, but doesnt hold a candle to the desperado out at buffalo bills, THAT thing hauls butt, no loops or inversions, just an 80 mph ride with the biggest steepest drop ive ever been on.

The Manhattan Express could really use some rehab. This coaster is still fun, but you’ll get knocked around quite a lot. Take care to keep your head from banging back and forth against the shoulder restraints – easier said than done!

“great rollercoaster”

Manhattan Express

1/5 found this review helpful

This rollercoaster is a great thrill ride. If you are a thrill junkie wait a little longer for the front seat...its worth it. The prices are a bit steep but they vary by season. Also, if you go earlier in the day or during lunch hours the lines are lessened. I've been on this ride many times and it never ceases to amuse me.

Wow, y'all are a bunch of wimps. Yes, the coaster is a little bumpy........so what? That's why they say hold your head against the back of the seat. It's such a thrill! The $12.50 price is a little steep, but just go on a re-ride.........each one is only $6! I went on this coaster 3 times in a row yesterday and got souvineer keychains with the picture. I posed because I knew where the camera was. I love all of the direction changes. Take a tip from me and wait in line to get in the front row seats. Makes for quite an experience! Don't listen to all of the whiners on here (yeah right, like your neck would hurt for a month after this). If you have back/neck problems, then you probably shouldn't be riding ANY rides. Just relax and go with it, it's great fun!

“Ouch-Pain in the neck and wallet”

Manhattan Express

3/4 found this review helpful

Rode it in May '05. The restraints hit and bruise the side of your neck. If they changed the restraint system this could be an OK coaster. We were there in '97 and wanted to ride it but the line was too long and they charged $7 which we thought was crazy. Well this time there was no line- maybe because they now charge $12. I should have stood in line in '97 and saved $5.
