Las Vegas is full of thrill rides, some more kid-friendly than others. So long as your kids can (literally) stomach going upside down, they’ll love the
Big Apple Coaster at New York-New York. The ride starts inside, then heads outside for hairpin turns, corkscrews, and a few loops behind a replica of the Statue of Liberty. The biggest drop: 144 feet. The fastest speed: About 67 mph. There’s even a 180-degree “heartline” twist-and-dive maneuver, which basically is a barrel roll on one axis. True to the theme, coaster cars are designed to look like taxi cabs.
Runners up: High Roller observation wheel on the LINQ Promenade;
Slotzilla zipline downtown.
