What's the highest floor you've ever been on in a building?

Ok, so how high have you been, and no I'm not talking about illegal drugs. What's the highest floor you've ever been on, and which building/city was it located in?

Did you enjoy the view, or are you scared of heights?

I've been on 58 in the Bank of America Corp Center in Charlotte.

31 at the World Trade Center in Baltimore, MD. The view was great. Heights don't both me inside of buildings.

86th floor observation deck of the Empire State building.

15 of a parking complex. I never went to the Hancock building or Sears Tower in Chicago.

72nd floor of the Peachtree Plaza Hotel here in Atlanta.

Sorry, it's actually the 103rd floor of the Sear's tower. The Skydeck it's called.

I want to go up to the observation deck of the CN Tower in Toronto. I forget exactly how high it is, but they have a large section of the floor that is comprised of glass. You can stand on it and look 1000+ feet down at the Skydome.

Diesel · #9 10-31-2003, 05:47 PM

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me GP. I've been on that observation deck. It's an amazing view of Toronto. Yes, you can look down on Skydome, I went in October so the roof was closed. The outer perimeter of the floor on the observation deck is glass, they say it's strong enough to support a hippo on it. I didn't get anywhere near standing on it; I just looked through it from a good distance. There's also the standard caged patio there, outside of the observation floor, although you should go in the summer for that. Canada is not the place to be in the winter with wind that high up.

The coolest part though is the external elevator that leads you up there, it has glass walls and such. It's sort of like a 1000+ drop tower.

If I can find my CD when I get home I'll post some pictures of it.

For a normal office building, the 110th floor of the South Tower of WTC. I've also been to the CN Tower, which I believe is still the tallest observation deck in the world.

CrystalKat · #11 10-31-2003, 08:23 PM

Probably outdoor observation deck, 6th story, leaning over the barricade of my first year college campus, Florida Tech in Melbourne. I honestly can't recall higher (though I'd love to), because I've not really had the opportunity. Certainly I have no fear of heights.

lets see....the highest i've been was when i was at the top of the big shot on the stratosphere. i think thats something like 1200 feet or something. i've also been at the top of the sears tower and at the top of the empire state building. i was never able to make it to the top of the world trade towers.

So, I guess this wasn't a waste of time after all???? lol ;)

CORRECTION

I have been to the top of the Stratosphere Tower (thx sfgadvking) and rode the Big Shot. So, whatever height that is.

Aaron · #15 10-31-2003, 11:52 PM

I've been to the top of the Empire State Building, though I don't recall exactly how I up that is, though. It was pretty unsettling, I was only 11 at the time, I think.
