Sunday, October 15, 2023: 10:00am: It has come to our attention that adults riding the Toy Story Land coaster at Broadacres Marketplace is dependent on the ride operator for that day. Due to the uncertainty, we will be visiting the Haley’s Comet Zip Line coaster in Area 15 instead after the Mini Gran Prix on Sunday. I realize that not everyone will count this as a coaster, but it will still be fun to visit Area 15. Parking: General admission and parking is free. Area 15 3215 S. Rancho Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89102
Cost: Tickets are $18 for 13 and over. Anyone
under 12, a local, senior or military, the ticket is only $14. Pacific
Southwest Asst Rep, who is a local, has offered to purchase tickets for
those interested in riding to get the $14 pricing.
