This Gadget Guru segment aired live on the NBC Today Show on May 26, 1995 and featured the Desperado roller coaster at Buffalo Bills resort and casino located just outside of Las Vegas, NV. At the time this coaster was billed as the fastest and tallest roller coaster in the world. 

Then, Andy goes live from Opryland Theme Park in Nashville, TN and demonstrates the Sky Coaster. This was a landmark achievement as in that day and age, transmitting a live TV signal is not as easy as it is today and Andy was wearing quite a bit of camera and transmission equipment to get the moving signal to the broadcast truck on the ground.
