Pete, the ride last around 15 minutes. The $25 ticket is good for 24 hours worth of rides and visits to the museum.

I have done it twice and it is a lot of fun. Unfortunately they haven't updated the ride since it opened 5+ years ago (so the Vegas footage is way outdated.

Just be aware that the ride does jolt you around quite a bit, so if you (or your parents) have back or neck problems I don’t advise riding this ride.

And don’t forget to eat a Quarks, which I think is more entertaining than the ride.
