The Stratosphere Tower Raises the Underwear Quotient

Friday April 16, 2004
Just when you thought things couldn't get crazier atop the Stratosphere Tower, Screamscape.com reports that the sadists running the Las Vegas icon will be adding another thrill ride next year-- and this one sounds more likely to bring riders to the edge of soiling their pants than anything that preceded it. A swing-like contraption will spin riders out beyond the tower and dangle them 900 feet above the famed Strip. And to make sure underwear sales rise in Sin City, the unnamed ride's cars will randomly freefall. Any takers?
