El Loco is a steel wild mouse indoor roller coaster located at Adventuredome in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. It was built by S&S Worldwide. Opened in 2014, it is the sixth El Loco installation and the second to be built in the United States. The ride features two inversions and single car trains.
The attraction is located where the splashdown for Rim Runner, an Arrow Dynamics boat ride, previously stood.
Unlike all previous El Loco installations, the ride does not have a "beyond-vertical" drop. Instead, the drop is approximately 90 degrees steep.
