KLAS-TV Channel 8 News Las VegasStratosphere Ride Shutting Down
Time is running out for people who want to ride the world's highest roller coaster.
The Stratosphere roller coaster will thrill riders for the last time next Friday. After that it will be removed, piece by piece with a crane, over a three month period.
The roller coaster opened on the same day as the hotel, back in April 29, 1996.
Officials say they're getting rid of the ride to make room for another more exciting one. There are still plenty of other thrill rides, 900 feet up on top of the Stratosphere.
