U.S. Thrill Rides LLC has submitted plans to the Federal Aviation Administration in April to build the 650-foot-tall Polercoaster, the company's name for a scream machine that combines an observation tower with a coaster on the way up and down.
 
As Las Vegas turns to high-adrenaline rides to freshen its appeal to visitors, one developer has quietly started to move ahead with a roller coaster that would look down on all but one building on the Strip.

Knowing Vegas, the chances of this being built are very slim. If it does get built, I'd ride it since I don't live too far from Vegas and I want to continue to brag that I rode the tallest coaster in the world (I rode Kingda Ka back in April).

interesting looking coaster, it seems to have a track that acts some-what like a vortex and the structure looks a bit like a TV tower.
I would like to go on it if I ever get the opportunity.

I agree with XYZ here, the chances of this actually getting built are minimal. Anyone remember the plans for that coaster coming off the side of the stratosphere?

Plus, there's no funds to re-build Speed, let alone a completely new ride.

This could be a really good coaster, and looks allot better than the High Roller Coaster which was located on the Stratosphere, and uterlises the whole structure which is just cool.

As XYZ And Thekingin64 have posted it does look unlikely however this could be funded by a totally different company and they may even have the funds to do this project, I personally hope it does get the go ahead and that does get built, because it will be an amazing one to look at, and definatly would bring more people to Las Vegas.

Yea, this'll never happen. As have been already posted, there have been many other projects for Vegas that have never happened.
