I feel sick just looking at the picture on a computer screen, and I'm not even afraid of heights.

2. They really think this is going to double the park's visitors?

:shrug: After going on that thing, I'm sure everyone will need a fresh pair. Maybe they'll open an unmentionables shop, that'd make them a hell of a lot of money.

10. Yeah, me too...

and I don't usually have a problem with heights. It's completely terrifying, because it will have a GLASS floor. I mean, it's bad enough to see through the walls, but the floor?

7. Paintings tend to scare me too.

:spray:

Just kidding.

That would be an impressive architectural achievement, though one would have to wonder why... and Would they test it themselves once completed before subjecting others onto it?

8. It would have to be tested somehow, my dear Hypno.....

I'm sure the building codes require that!

9. First off; it's hideous. As a frequent visitor to GC and an enormous fan

of Mary Jane Colter's incredible architecture at the Canyon, this makes me sick.

For those interested, Mary Jane was a woman worth knowing and WAY ahead of her time. She actually made the architecture an attribute to the Park, not an intrusion.

http://www.azpbs.org/colter/

The Desert View Watchtower is incredible, simply incredible. It's hard to believe it wasn't always there.

It must be noted that this is located on the far west end of the Canyon in an area that isn't part of the National Park.
