Okay so this ride used to be very rough, but this ride is smoother than it used to be. However it lacks airtime and intensity. This ride still rattles you and throws you around in some areas but before I would have said this ride is a bad coaster but now I think it’s mediocre. I just wish the airtime could be better then I would like this ride a little bit better. However the ride has been running inconsistently because of how buffalo bills is understaffed and I was the only person on the ride when I rode it so that could play an impact on why I am thinking higher of this coaster now.

Desperado is one strange cookie. I feel like the casino must've been feeling a little risky while designing it. Did these moves work out? Eh, kinda. After waiting in your seat for 20 minutes because operations are trash, crest the lifthill and head into the first drop. Lean forward. That's all I have to say. I rode it the first time, back row, bad idea. Don't ride back until they pay YOU to ride it. The back doesn't give any extra airtime, it's just as good in the front and it's a tad smoother. Leaning forward will save you alot of pain. This next turn will absolutely rattle the bones in your body, it's really strong. Then the next part of the ride is my personal favorite. Three triagnular shaped airtime hills. Unlike other hills though, these have more bite. They're more sharp and give a borderline floater-ejector combo. The second half though is incredibly weak. Lots of slow, meandering turns. The only notable part is a decent helix in the fake mountain. Then it ends. Overall, give it a chance when you stop by, just don't excpect an elite hyper like Shambhala or STR.

History[edit]
Buffalo Bills Casino Roller Coaster Hours Nyc
Looking to attract people driving by on adjacent Interstate 15 to his new casino, Buffalo Bill's, which opened on May 14, 1994, Gary Primm contracted Arrow Dynamics to build a highly visible roller coaster. The roller coaster opened to the public on August 11, 1994, as one of the tallest and fastest roller coasters in the world. The ride's 209-foot-tall (64 m) lift hill was the tallest in the United States, second behind only the Pepsi Max Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach in England that opened the same year. Its drop length of 225 feet (69 m) and top speed of 80 mph (130 km/h) were tied in the country with Kennywood's Steel Phantom, which also featured a 225-foot (69 m) drop and top speed of 80 mph (130 km/h). The Guinness Book of World Records recognized Desperado in its 1996 publication as the tallest roller coaster in the world.[4]
For his Top Secret special that first aired on February 24, 1999, magician Lance Burton staged a death-defying escape in a stunt where he was tied to the roller coaster's track and had to break out of handcuffs in order to escape.[6]
