  • a walk in the park ... or the sky ...

    Just read about this ... a new experience being built at the CN Tower here in Toronto will allow visitors to walk outside, on a glass ledge, over 1000 ft in the sky; sounds like fun ... maybe ... :eek:



    It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

    No thank you. I'd puke all over the glass.

        They have a similar thing out at the Grand Canyon. I'd love to do it.

          Yeah, hopefully this one isn't as outrageous as the one in the GC.

            I thought they already had a glass floor to walk on?

              Don't they kinda have this on the tower in Vegas?

              I remeber looking straight down through glass.

              Of course, not counting the mini-coaster and spinning ride over the edge of the tower.

                indoors; this will be outside.

                  ahhh - a bit of a correction - it won't be on glass, it's simply walking around the edge with no railing (tethered tho, of course).
