High Roller on the Stratosphere Tower ( Las Vegas , Nevada , USA ) was a steel roller coaster manufactured by S&MC , which opened on April 29, 1996. It completed its final laps on December 30, 2005, before it was closed to be demolished and make way for a new attraction.
It was located at a height of 277 m on the tower cage and surrounded the tower antenna in three circles, but did not run over the edge of the tower. The actual height of the roller coaster was a few meters. A single train with seven cars (four people per car, two rows of two people) was used. The train originally had nine cars, two of which were removed in the late 1990s.
At the end of 2006, the rails of the railway were cut into small pieces so that they could be transported in an elevator.
