NYC’s scary new tourist attraction: An all-glass ‘Ascent’ into the sky
Fox News
Midtown development One Vanderbilt will soon offer thrill-seekers a fresh way to be scared of New York: an all-glass enclosed elevator on the outside of the building.
The journey, along with other interactive features in the crown of developer SL Green’s $3.3 billion, 77-story, 1.7 million-square-foot office tower "will redefine the way people experience the intersection between nature and the built environment," hypes a press release from the realty corporation. For those looking for a non-moving but still gravity-defying experience, the skyscraper — set to be central Midtown’s tallest ever — will offer Levitation, consisting of "fully transparent glass sky boxes" that jut out from the building and give visitors the experience of hanging 1,063 feet above Manhattan.More Related News
