One World Trade Center Observatory, On The 102nd Floor, Has Stunning Views Of NYC

Visitors to the observation deck at One World Trade Center will learn about the building's history while they're waiting in line downstairs and watch a video on the tower's 102nd floor before the actual panoramic view is revealed, officials developing the attraction said Tuesday.

Packaged like a theme-park ride, the tour will showcase One World Trade as "the most significant destination in the world," said David Checketts, chairman and CEO of Legends Hospitality LLC, which has signed a 15-year lease to operate the observation deck.

Legends - a partnership of the Checketts Partners Investment Fund, the New York Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys - operates concessions at sports stadiums and other venues around the country. Team officials including Hal Steinbrenner, managing general partner of the Yankees, and Jerry Jones Jr., executive vice president of the Cowboys, attended a news conference on the unfinished building's 100th floor announcing the company's $875 million lease agreement.

Pussies.

Checketts would put a flight simulator in the theme park if he could get away with it.

At least it's not a sugary drink of more than 16 oz.

I feel vertigo setting in just looking at pictures in this thread.

Hats off to those guys, they can earn their pay. I'm going to go stand in a breadline and wait for the Depression to end with both feet on solid ground.
