Speed - The Ride: Visit americancoasters.com to watch the Quicktime video for "Speed - The Ride", a rollercoaster at Sahara Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Rush's "Driven" serves as the video's soundtrack.

Here's the link:

That's a pretty cool Rush song.

That's cool! I'm a roller coaster fanatic...

Speaking of Rush & rollercoasters:

There is a website that features an exchange for people to upload tracks for coaster games such as RCTycoon 1, 2 & 3; Hyper Rails; Scream Machines & No Limits (you HAVE to check out this particular sim if your are into coasters). One of the site's best designers (his name is "Tyler") is a huge Rush fan and has an entire series of Rush-themed No Limits constructions. Good stuff!

The site is http://www.weeweeslap.com - WeeWeeSlap.com ; don't laugh, it's not what it sounds like.

Rush songs get around. I played on a sit down racing car game in a service station last year. The music playing along was 'One little victory'

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

That would be "The Need For Speed"

Two versions of "One Little Victory" are heard randomly while playing the game, both the original Vapor Trails track and an instrumental edit.

During the Detroit Red Wings last Stanley Cup season, they opened each home game during the playoffs with One Little Victory as they got on the ice. Pretty cool. (pun intended)

Rush On The Today Show: This morning's "Today Show" included a story on male pattern baldness, which of course included a snippet of Rush's "I Think I'm Going Bald"
