the only roller coaster by TOGO still operating in North America. For the 2021 season, the ride received another set of new trains from Premier Rides. These consist of more open-air seating and can hold up to 18 riders, thus increasing the coaster's capacity. Testing began in December 2020, with the ride slated to reopen in February 2021. An accident occurred in mid-December, where the middle car of one of the new trains derailed on the lift hill, causing severe damage to part of the catwalk. The ride reopened on January 30, 2021. The newer trains contain lighter restraints that exert less pressure on riders' shoulders. Characteristics The ride travels on a track. It contains a lift hill and a first drop, followed by a hill and another drop. The ride also has two inversions: a standard vertical loop and a dive loop (twist and dive element), where the train performs a 180-degree twist and then performs a half-loop. This element is found on another coaster: the "Mega Coaster" at Hamanako Pal Pal Park in Japan. The New York Times wrote in 2011 that the ride was "designed to simulate the barrel roll a pilot feels inside a jet fighter". The ride's station is themed to a New York City Subway station. The coaster's computer system could adjust the ride based on the arid climate of the area. The system could modify the train's speed at the top of the lift hill, and it could also activate the mid-course brake run to slow down a speeding train. When wind speeds are excessively high, the computer system notifies the ride's technicians. , the ride costs $19 per individual ticket and $10 for a re-ride. An all-day pass can be bought for $35. Las Vegas residents with valid ID, and military personnel also receive discounts. The New York-New York Hotel and Casino also allows guests to get married on the Big Apple Coaster. When the ride opened, riders had to be at least tall; this height restriction has since been increased to . Ride experience The ride begins with a left-hand, 135-degree turn out of the station which then begins to climb the chain lift hill. After reaching the peak, the train turns 45 degrees left into the first, 76-foot drop, crossing over the New York-New York's driveway. The train then ascends a hill that curves left into the second, 144-foot drop,
