Is it true that the rides on top of the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas are gone?

Yes, their rollercoaster (it was called the High Roller) which sat upon the top of the Stratosphere Tower was removed in 2005. They only removed that coaster because it took up a lot of room on the tower, and low guest satisfaction numbers. In place of where the High Roller used to be, they put up a few flat rides that were more thrilling in its kind. You can find pictures and info on the High Roller here: <a href="http://rcdb.com/id141.htm" rel="nofollow">http://rcdb.com/id141.htm</a> The rides that replaced High Roller as of follows: X-Scream - A giant teeter-totter that propels you 27 feet over the edge of the Tower, 866 feet above the ground. Insanity, the Ride - A massive mechanical arm extends 64 feet over the edge of the Tower and spins you at a force of 3 Gs for a truly mind-bending experience.
