Some sources say that Desperado could reopen in the future (They are still mataining and testing the ride)

As a former ride operator at Buffalo Bills Resort and Casino Desperado and the log ride has been closed since 2018 or 2019 according to one of the employees that currently works there at Buffalo Bills just went today and asked and they don't know when they're gonna reopen

I rode it like eight times when I was driving to Vegas from Los Angeles on vacation. It was raining there and I beg them to open it up. They waited for 30 minutes and then they waved at me because I would not move. And people started writing it and I wrote it every time for eight times. It was $5 to ride from what I remember each time. It was my favorite for years and I still put it up there.

I rode this in 1999. As we came back into the station, the ride operator said "If you want to go again, stay seated." Everyone laughed when I yelled out, "Let me off this F**king thing!" Honestly, one of the best coasters I have ever been on.

We rode it about 20 years ago. My wife came out of her bra! 😮 She ran to the restroom to fix herself, I rode it again! Rough ride but it was worth it. You load the coaster inside the casino and it literally inclines out through the roof! Wild. At the time we were told it was one of the tallest wooden coasters in the world

My favorite roller coaster of all time!! what a great drop and after that airtime for days!! Believe me dont knock it of you havent tried it or until one day you hopfully can. Buffalo Bills Please reopen desperado!

[reddcube]

Probably really hard to maintain this coaster. The hotel’s only coaster and it’s a really tall Arrow Dynamics coaster.

Makes me sad everytime i pass it. Always hoping it magically is running and my bf knows we are stopping if it is. Not havign too many theme parks around would be nice if it would open❤😢. If i won the lottery i wouod def refurbished it and make the place a mini theme park. ❤😂

I remember going to Vegas in November 2022 and this March and was wondering when will this be opened. I searched and found somewhere it said summer 2023. Sadly still closed but at least I got to ride the Big Apple coaster

[jiru]

why did i instantly recognise Desperado. I don't live in the US. I've never been to the US.

Owners claim it’s been properly maintained and will reopen.

Dang many years ago we drove from Vegas to San Diego and we saw this. I wanted to stop bad. They said we would stop on the way back to Vegas, which we didn't, and now I'll never get to ride it

[Brian-liwe]

When i drove with mom and her friends as a kid in the 90s to vegas from cali. We stopped there on the way out so they can gamble again and i got to ride all night long by myself with the lights and everything. I passed up on the water ride cuz i didn't wanna get wet. It was amazing but very rough from what i remember

[Cliffsides_Band]

Dude I passed this when I was seven and I was super excited cuz I thought that was Vegas ( we were driving for 10 hrs) and when we passed it I got really upset.

[paw]

Never been there but used to see it all the time. I would always park my semi at the Pilot truck stop in front of Whiskey Pete’s across the interstate from there.

[huntzzio]

Maybe it’s for the better, it looks super rough 😅 I’d still ride it though, so random to see a big rollercoaster on the side of the road like that. If it opened, I mean.

[IntaminFanGRLPowerCoasters]

I've driven to Vegas from California 2 times- passed by this and Lake Dolores:). I'm going to Vegas again soon so hopefully this stateline beast reopens!

[THENDCARLTONBOY]

So for the people who are confused what was the tallest rollar coaster in 1994, well the answer is the big one (the pepsi max big one) at blackpool pleasure beach

[kareno]

I had no idea there was a water ride there

[sinister_ray]

I remember going to Vegas and I saw a coaster track and wondering is this part of a roller coaster 😂
