Sandy was in
Utah on Dec 20 to preview the new
INSANITY ride
that will be soon completed and
installed on the top of the Stratosphere
Hotel
and Casino in early 2005. Her reaction
to the ride?
"The term INSANITY fits the entire ride
from the moment you
get strapped in until you are dangling
almost a thousand feet over
Las Vegas. The spinning combined with
the G Force and the 70 degree
angle are enough to make you rethink why
you ever got on board.
Once the public is introduced to this
wild, darn right scary ride, I predict
it will be become known as the king of
thrill rides".

the manufacturing site can be

After the day in Logan,
Sandy and Patrick packed up
their materials
and TV
camera and headed to Boise
Idaho where Sandy created
Travel segments for Channel
2, KDCI. Working with
Catherine Wilkinson, Sandy
was invited to share the
story with the good folks
of
Idaho. Now you can see for
yourself the new look of the
Stratosphere Hotel's
Instanity Ride.
