About this audio guide
This guide to The Big Apple Coaster in Las Vegas opens in March 1997, two months after the ride debuted with the New York-New York hotel, at a moment when pieces of the Strip's newest thrill are snapping. You'll meet Gary Primm, the casino owner behind the idea, and the taxicab trains that had the crowds lining up while Clark County kept stepping in. Best heard standing outside the hotel entrance, looking up at the track.
