Premier Rides has manufactured new trains that are themed to look like a New York taxi cab on the 200-plus-foot-tall Big Apple Coaster at the New York-New York Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada.
And, according to Premier Rides, social media reports were pouring in saying the ride was incredibly smooth.
Premier Rides was commissioned by New York-New York Las Vegas to provide a fleet of new trains for Big Apple Coaster.
The New York-New York coaster engineers and the Premier Rides engineers jointly performed all of the integration work and upgrades necessary to allow the new generation trains to operate successfully on Big Apple Coaster. The integration work included upgrades to the lift, track and station, the last of which is themed to a New York City subway station.

The new Sky Rocket-style trains utilize Premier’s award-winning individual lap bar restraint system and feature the comfort collar system (seen on West Coast Racers, Tempesto, Tigris and Electric Eel). They consist of more open-air seating and can hold up to 18 riders, which increases the coaster’s capacity.
