Obviously Nostalgia Critic is Woody. That’s the most natural casting choice.

Rides at over 1000 feet up! Worth it!
Click to expand...
At the Strat in Las Vegas…I got SkyPod access (it’s the name of the tower) plus 3 thrill rides for $39. I rode Insanity first since I came across it’s entrance before Big Shot. This was the one that I heard was the most thrilling…and it lived up to it! I was the only one on it, which added to the thrill. First the gates on the tower come down and then the ride is brought out over the edge of the tower with nothing between my feet and the ground way below. It was probably the most nervous I’ve been for a ride since riding Superman at Magic Mountain for the first time. If it hadn’t been 1000 feet up, it wouldn’t be a major thrill, but it was somewhat dizzying as the arm spun me around (with some other forces, too).
I next rode Big Shot, which is essentially a launch tower (and not a huge one at that), but starting at about 1100 feet! I wasn’t as nervous for this one. The best part wasn’t the very top but shortly after when I came out of my chair. It was a short ride but a good experience. Once again, I was the only one on it.
I was debating whether to ride X-Scream (a 36-foot long coaster track that sends the trains off the edge of the tower 4 times) or to re-ride Insanity. As I was hearing some people say that X-Scream was pretty intense, I decided for it. I rode this one with the two people I taken the elevator with up the tower. With only the warning of “bye” from the staff person, we were off on the first slide! I should have probably taken the front seat since it wasn’t as intense not seeing where I was going (and because the women I was with didn’t really know what they were getting themselves into), but it was still thrilling as the coaster came to a quick stop.
I rode these all during the day, so it would be neat to try them at night. But overall not a bad deal for some rides that you can’t really do anywhere else!

@ThemeParkPriest will you be riding this coaster during your stay? Spoiler if you do the moment at 1:37 is just as painful as it looks lol

So I rode that one when I was about 14. I don’t remember it being super jerky, but I do remember how excited I was to ride it. I had asked my neurologist (he was Jewish) if I could ride roller coasters due to having epilepsy. He replied a roller coaster is probably the safest place to be if I were to have a seizure, because I would be all strapped in! Well, I never had a seizure on a roller coaster!
Edit: no, I’m not doing that one this time.
