Big Apple Coaster Discount Tickets

$19 Big Apple Coaster Tickets at Vegas.com
This single ride Big Apple ticket is discounted to $19 for the time being. Yeah, $19 is about the New York-New York roller coaster price, but their ticket fees are lower at Vegas.com. Get $19 Tickets at Vegas.com
Big Apple Discount Tickets at Viator
If you don't know Viator, let us fill you in: they're huge but not as huge as Tripadvisor, who owns them. Moving on....Viator has got $19.49 Big Apple discount tickets. Good deal? Sure, not bad but not as good as Vegas.com's $19 Big Apple tickets. But the difference between the two is only 49 cents--every penny counts! Get Tickets at Viator

Big Apple Coaster Groupon
We'll admit, we're on Groupon for about 8 of our 10 work hours per day because it's THE place to find awesome deals on just about everything, including Big Apple Coaster. And, yes, Groupon's Big Apple Coster deal is good, it's $19 per ticket--but it's not great. We were expecting a lower price...it's Groupon after all. Get this Groupon
Big Apple Tickets at Cheaptickets
We love Cheaptickets because they have, well, cheap tickets and that's exactly what we live for. Sadly, Cheaptickets isn't offering Big Apple tickets at the moment.
Big Apple Coaster Tickets at GetYourGuide
We're majorly disappointed with GetYourGuide's Big Apple Coaster tickets deal, it's $28.75 per ticket. Phew, that's high, way too high of a price. Surely GetYourGuide can discount that and cheapen the price for us non-billionaires!
Scream Pass Tickets for $49
Getting a Scream Pass at Big Apple Coaster means riding all day, as many times as your heart desires. Surely there must be a record somewhere for the most number of rides accomplished in a single day? Anyway, a Scream Pass not only means unlimited rides of Big Apple Coaster but you'll also get $2 off your 5x7 photo while on the rollercoaster.

The Big Apple Coaster was the first coaster to feature a 180-degree "heartline" twist and dive maneuver, and you can find over a million adrenaline junkies flocking to this ride each year for a rush of heart-stopping excitement. The ride is designed with New York taxicab themed trains and begins with a suspense-building 180-foot lift followed by a 76-foot drop. Hold on tight because then comes another hill and then an incredible 144-foot drop! Feeling woozy yet? Next up are a standard vertical loop and dive loop, followed by a 180-degree spiral and half-loop sequence. The coaster reaches speeds of almost 70 miles per hour and every second is full of exhilarating twists and turns. Once the ride ends, you have the option to purchase a souvenir photo as a keepsake.
