El Loco is an indoor steel roller coaster at the Adventuredome, the park under a glass dome at the Circus Circus resort in Las Vegas. It was built by S&S Worldwide, designed by Alan Schilke, and opened on February 18, 2014.
The coaster took the place of the Rim Runner water ride, which closed in February 2013 to make room for it. Small two-car trains, each carrying four riders, climb a chain lift to a height of 90 feet. The 1,300-foot track includes two dive loops, and RCDB gives a top speed of 45 mph and a ride time of 1 minute 13 seconds.
The park describes the ride as having steep climbs, sharp drops and intense turns, and requires riders to be at least 48 inches tall.
