The Big Shot at the Stratosphere gives riders the chance to experience weightlessness and pull 4 Gs at the same time.

The ride launches passengers at 45 mph, 160 feet into the air. That's in addition to being on the observation deck, 900 feet above the ground. It lasts for only one minute but it's a thrilling minute.
