Grand Canyon Skywalk

[Earth_First]

"The tribe will include access to the deck in a variety of tour packages ranging from $49.95 to $199.00. They’ll allow up to 120 people at a time to look down to the canyon floor more than 4,000 feet below, a vantage point more than twice as high as the world’s tallest buildings"

Why the tiered pricing? Time of day? Length of visit?

On top of the $25 per vehicle to enter Grand Canyon National Park?!

1. You couldn't PAY me $200 to do that.

:scared:

:shrug:

4. You don't have to pay the $25.00 National Park fee to do this.

It's on the Hualapai Reservation.

I personally wouldn't pay that much money to view the Canyon, especially elbow to elbow with 120 other tourists.

There are, if you're "in the know", places along the Canyon rim where you can have the Canyon all to yourself for hours (and possibly days) at a time without paying anyone a cent.

5. They would have to pay me to go there.

There's not enough money in the world to make that happen right now.

6. no way no how, i still haven't recovered from my first trip to the grand canyon.

[cwydro]

7. Nope.

No way. And it looks like a giant toilet seat.

8. Whoa, that's pretty pricey, if ya ask me. Still, I'd try it at least once

heights don't scare me one bit. All the same, I wouldn't do this on it: :bounce:

:hi:

9. Did you read this part?

"As people walk across it, the glass layers creak and the deck wobbles almost imperceptibly."

Heights don't usually bother me but that sure as hell would! :scared:

[Shine]

10. No, I didn't read that...but they'd have a helluva problem if it collapsed

at least the wobbling is "imperceptible" :D

11. I'm going next week with my family!

My daughters are all excited about going out on it. I'll take some pictures and probably jump up and down a couple of times to see if it really does wobble.

12. No uh huh.

Sorry. No way, no day.

:crazy:
