Can I experience negative g's on a coaster in Las Vegas?

Manhattan Express

The roller coaster at New York, New York may just convince you never to ride in a New York City taxicab again. This coaster, painted to resemble those famous cabs, is real thrill for any coaster addict, because it has some awesome innovations. The coaster reaches a height of 203 feet and drops 144 feet at one point. It reaches speeds up to 67mph. There's also the world's first "heartline" twist and dive maneuver, which gives riders the heart-stopping force of negative g's just like fighter pilots experience. The coaster simulates a barrel-roll in a jet fighter, rolling 180-degrees, hanging 86-feet in the air, then diving back under itself. Whew! Admission: $40 for an all day fun pass that includes food, drink, a t-shirt, and much more. Call 702-740-6969 for hours.

This coaster is a bit rough, but the jet fighter barrel-roll is worth it!
