Sears Tower

[Lamar537]

This looks.. interesting to say the least. I'd be scared to go on it, because I have a fear of heights. So, what do you think?

That's what I was thinking, it'd be a great view though. If it doesn't get closed down for that then I plan on going to see it this summer.

You can't. It's a box made out of (what looks to be) 3 inch tempered glass.

Not to mention it's 3 layered and the platform can hold a maximum capacity of 5 tons.

Oh you!

I've been to both actually, but I've not been up the Sears since I last went to the States... that would be in 2001. I'd probably give that ledge a try actually, just to see if it's any better than your standard "see-through floor" section. Actually, I think the CN Tower had/has one of those. As awesome as it was, it was hard to see things due to how often people are using it. As expensive as going up tall buildings for look-out spots can be, I'd like to give it a try.

Yeah, the Blackpool Tower isn't quite as high as the Sears Tower though... and while I'm aware Chicago can be a pretty grim city in some areas, I've got to say Blackpool isn't particularly glamourous. I mean, my Grandad was acting as a guard in Blackpool during the war, and it's a running joke that the Germans flew over the place, assumed it had already been bombed, and left.

Erm, no offense to anyone from Blackpool.

[Jonners]

I would love it, mainly as most of my family has a HUGE fear of heights, especially my mum who would most likely throw up just from seeing me on the ledge, like she did in Spain in the cable car.

The rest of the ride was NOT fun...

Oh my god, I saw that on the Today show the other day and almost dropped a load. That looks scary as fuck! One of the NBC Correspondents was in the glass box and Matt Lauer's daring him to jump and Meridith is just screaming "no" at him.
