The Really Rough History of Manhattan Express/Big Apple Coaster - Las Vegas | Expedition Theme Park

Happy New Year - 2020 starts with an Expedition looking at the rough history of The Manhattan Express now known as The Big Apple Coaster. This TOGO Coaster was related to Desperado in Primm and created to try and draw people into the New York New York Hotel and Casino. It's troubled history though meant a really really rough ride.
Make sure you check out part one looking at Desperado.

Mid to late 90's Vegas was when they were going after family's big time. MGM had a amusement park where some condo's and top golf is now , The Boardwalk casino had a wooden coaster and some other rides, Circus Circus had it's amousment park, There was a big water park on the strip, the stratosphere had it rides, there was the Nascar coaster also and I feel a few other rides plus some major attractions like one of the first game works and a few other ultra high end gaming lounges on top of every casino having a normal arcade

[@spentron1]

BS. Togo was actually very comparable to Arrow in its range of comfort, thrills and timespan. Enthusiasts=complainers or at least tough critics that listen too much to each other. However it was interesting to find that the trains were replaced in 2006. I rode this in 2007 and didn't find it very rough, although unimpressive, and the stunt section is quite ugly and small.

[@sheeple04]

@@spentron1 Haven't ridden it, but it doesnt look as bad as people say. Yeah, TOGO is probably comparable to Arrow smoothness wise, maybe also a bit to Schwarzkopf. I honestly don't mind rough rides as long as my head doesn't get killed, so k think I'll enjoy TOGOs.

This TOGO is one of the very few coasters I have absolutely no desire to ride again. I was never a fan of the ride but once the ride received Premier trains, I tried it again. I didn't see much an improvement so I swore off the ride for good. It's so strange as there is a similar ride in Japan that is quite enjoyable to ride.

[@triple7marc]

It’s just not worth it, especially at that price point. It isn’t even free if you stay at the hotel - you still have to pay $19 ($19!!!!) to ride it, but you get two rides instead of one. Even if the ride was good, that’s a still a complete ripoff.

[@fenderdude0bob109]

I can tell you from first hand experience that it is indeed really rough. I rode it for the first time in with my wife in 2014 I believe. It was bad enough that when we went back with her family in 2016, my wife and I opted out to do it again. Really fun coaster, but man, it hurt. Side note, the NYNY is such a wonderfully themed resort, inside and out. I absolutely love it every time I go (my wife refuses to stay anywhere else)

[@gitzyrulz]

This was my first big coaster, back when I was a teen and more resilient. Even back then when I rode it in 2005 I remember it being a bit rough, so I can only imagine how rough it is now.

TOGO should just stick to building Ultratwisters

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

Not anymore!

[@Tortidis987]

Nah Fujiyama is actually incredible. Way better than Magnum and a few B&M hypers imo!!

[@davidparada1307]

I rode the coaster once.....just once. That was 14 years ago. The thing with Vegas is that there are so many other things to do than ride a coaster.

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

It's true

[@garethhiggs3051]

Haha, love the Casino Night usage at the end 🤣

[@Jason_Maier]

I've heard this called "Manhurtin' Express/Big Crapple Coaster!" Among other coaster nicknames I've heard: Hang & Bangs - Vekoma SLC's Hurt Your Knees - the late Hercules from Dorney Park Millenium Force(less) - more or less in a joking context DesperaDON'T - Desperado at Buffalo Bill's Spinebuster - Mighty Canadian Minebuster Manhurtin' Express/Big Crapple Coaster - Manhattan Express at New York New York Hotel/Casino InTRIMadator - Intimadator (Carowinds) Nessie - Loch Ness Monster (this is a positive context!) PLC's (parking lot coasters) - Scream! SFMM, Superman: Ultimate Flight - Six Flags Great Adventure, Medusa - Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, Dominator - King's Dominion Neckjammer - Wind Jammer Surf Racers Ball Crusher - Green Lanter: First Flight Cages of Doom - Zamperla Volares Dreadator - Predator - Six Flags Darien Lake Thighcrush - SkyRush - Hershey Park

The most uncomfortable roller coaster I've ever ridden. Really bad!!

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

Yeahhh

[@TylersTarot]

I rode it a couple months back. It was not a pleasant experience- at all!

[@Goldenmedia_]

Thanks for the video, greetings from Spain!

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

Hola friend!

[@Goldenmedia_]

@@ExpeditionThemePark Hola Expedición de Parque Temático! hahaha (your channels name in spanish)

[@krohn7master]

Rode it last night- I didn’t think it was very rough at all, but it feels like tons of wasted potential. I love the first two drops!

[@SayYesToAwesome]

krohn7master BLACK LIVES MATTER

[@blizzmuzic]

Well, I went to your twitter, and saw what you looked like, and you look NOTHING how you sound, which is good, not bad. I love when that happens.

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

Haha god what did you expect?

[@blizzmuzic]

@@ExpeditionThemePark idk

@@princessmarlena1359 Well, I havent revealed my face... yet.

[@princessmarlena1359]

Expedition Theme Park Blizzard I pictured you as an emaciated skeleton man with a long dark hooded robe, floating above the ground, with skeleton keys for fingers on your bony hands and you hover in front of a door to the spirit realm as a gate keeper. 😉

[@jstyxx4110]

VR my friends is how you ruin any coaster.

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

Not been on a good.one yet

[@jstyxx4110]

Expedition Theme Park Well, Galactica... When it was still there lol.

[@NexNecis2001]

I would have to disagree, it makes mediocre rollercoasters cool. It really helped the Iron Dragon at Cedar Point.

[@HangtimeThrills]

Great video!

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

Thanks!

[@garrisonc.298]

Whats funny is that I just rode this ride last Christmas! What a coincidence.

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

Like it?

[@garrisonc.298]

It was great to me but I wasn’t ready for that 180 turn 🤣
