Review:
When it first opened, it was hailed by Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest, steepest, and fastest roller coaster. Unlike most roller coasters which scare riders by putting them upside down and a lot of other directions, Desperado has a unique way of bringing excitement to patrons. The first drop from 225 feet down a 55 degree descent at a speed of 95 mph, followed by a second 155 foot drop from second hill bring a weightless experience at 0 g?s. Kids at least 48 inches tall can enjoy the ride with the rest of the family. Make sure your kids can endure the speed and the steepness, and the dark tunnels the ride has to offer.
