The Roller Coaster is the name of the roller coaster at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. It first opened in 1997 as the "Manhattan Express". The ride's trains are themed to New York taxicabs.
In 2004 Premier Rides installed magnetic brakes on the ride. In August 2006, Premier also installed new trains to replace the original TOGO trains. Since the Premier train installation, the ride has been noticeably smoother, as opposed to when the TOGO trains were in use.
