Big Apple Coaster at New York-New York

The Big Apple Coaster (originally opened as the Manhattan Express) is a steel roller coaster that runs around and over the New York-New York Hotel & Casino’s faux Manhattan skyline. The ride opened with the resort in 1997 and was renamed and refurbished in subsequent years; it is a well-known Strip thrill attraction that appears frequently in tourist coverage. Locals and comedians often joke about riding a roller coaster through a scaled-down version of New York as emblematic of Vegas’s themed excess.
