1. Big shot ride, Las Vegas, USA
This ride, atop the 110-storey Stratosphere observation tower in Las Vegas, has incredible views. The Big Shot runs on compressed air, which, with incredible force, rockets you in your harness from the ride's base to the top of the Big Shot's 49 metre (160 ft 10 in) tower in just over two seconds. It's on the boulevard, on top of the Stratosphere Hotel.
