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

**Wes** · #1 10-31-2003, 04:17 PM

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.

coasetrphil · #4 10-31-2003, 05:18 PM

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

General Public · #5 10-31-2003, 05:24 PM

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

Drewbie · #6 10-31-2003, 05:36 PM

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.

topfueler · #10 10-31-2003, 06:20 PM

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.

SFGadvKing · #12 10-31-2003, 08:40 PM

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 ;)

General Public · #14 10-31-2003, 11:15 PM

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.

**Andrew P** · #16 11-01-2003, 12:47 AM

22nd floor of some government building in Toledo.

Lancelot · #17 11-01-2003, 12:49 AM

i've been to the top is the Sears tower, John Hancock Center, and the Empire State. I was about to talk the security guards into letting me to the top of the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco, but they shot me down. Oh well, it was a cool building.

So the highest i've been is the Sears Tower's Skydeck.

Skeeber · #18 11-01-2003, 12:49 AM

For me it's 147 stories. Well the equivalent anyway, in the CN Tower's Sky Pod, the little observation deck above the main floors, seen here: [url]http://www.cntower.ca/attractions/l3_att_skypod.htm[/url]

And, while I'm at it, here's the glass floor mentioned above (which is quite cool I must say) [url]http://www.cntower.ca/attractions/l3_att_GlassFloor.htm[/url]

you CAN get high on 100% legal things, like hydro herb! It's a new kind of drug coming about, that is 100% legal and does the same thing as Marijuana. It's a very interesting thing.

Alex T · #20 11-01-2003, 09:29 AM

I've been to the top of the Stratosphere. I think it's around 1000-1200ft tall. Not sure how many floors that would be (around 100 I'm assuming since it's generally known a floor is 10 ft.)

For me it would be the Stratosphere tower in Vegas, which is about 117 floors or so.

Sounds like it :rolleyes:

If you want to end up like Ozzy go right ahead.

***Steven*** · #23 11-01-2003, 11:05 AM

For me, I've also been all the way at the top of the skypod on the CN Tower (147 stories/1465 feet). Yes, I've felt it sway, and got some awesome pictures from the top. I also did see Niagara Falls (where I was the day before I might add).

Also, here's me actually standing on the glass floor, and me looking straight down to the ground 1122 feet below with the camera (back in 2001)...

[url]http://darkside.thrillnetwork.net/pictures/glassfloor.jpg[/url]

I walked on it like it was nothing... looked straight down, and said "cool". I've also got a picture of me with my then girlfriend sitting on it, but it's not scanned in.

I've also been to the 103rd floor of the Sears Tower, but that was years ago when I was a kid.

Thrill Rider · #24 11-01-2003, 11:23 AM

I've been to the 45th floor in the Marriott Marquis in Times Square, NYC. I also forgot that I've been to the top to the St. Louis Gateway Arch which is 630ft tall, but doesn't exactly have floors.

SFGadvKing · #25 11-01-2003, 11:31 AM

oh yeah, i've also been to the top of the eiffel tower which is 984 feet high. and also, i walked all the way down the tower (took the elevator up)

jimmycoasterman · #26 11-01-2003, 11:52 AM

Top of the Sears Tower.

General Public · #27 11-01-2003, 04:11 PM

Do they still let you walk down the Eiffel Tower? I thought they stopped letting you do that in recent times.

Kraken · #28 11-01-2003, 04:13 PM

I've only been up like 12 stories or so on this semi-large building here in NO...I know, I'm pathetic. I'm not scared of heights at all I just never got the chance to go higher.

as of 2 years ago (when i was there) they let you walk up and down the whole thing.

coaster9freak · #30 11-01-2003, 06:57 PM

I've only been up to the top of the Florida capitol building. I think it's 22 stories or so...
