Don't look down -- Sears Tower new attraction

[YankeeFan]

Freaked me out just being up there. The Hancock building is another fun building to visit.

Is it because of the bar at the top?

The lines can be long, but the bar is pretty cool. Great views.

And it's not as big of a rip off as you might expect.

Just saw the NBC Nightly News report on this and it looks AWESOME. I'd love to be out there.

Though, the reporter said it can hold up to 8 adults. I'm not sure I'd want to be out on the ledge with 7 other adults.

I'm weighing in at 305 pounds. Are there seven other volunteers among us? I'll meet you there.

We hit that bar one night a few years back. Line was long, and the dude asked if anyone liked Superman movies. I kind-of halfway raised my hand and gave a head nod, and he let me and Mrs. tbf in ahead of probably 75 people.

We really enjoyed the bar. Great views. Little pricey, but not too bad.

fork THAT! I would shirt my pants if I went on a see-through ledge up there.

The only benefit of that would be if my shirt went through a see-through hole and landed all over the Loop.

And if the wind could carry it a bit north to Wrigley, all the better?

Last time I was in Toronto, the CN Tower has same deal with a glass floor you can look down from. It's impressive, though the 5-year-old kid jumping up and down on the glass next to you can be a little unnerving.

I've lived in Toronto my whole life and only been to the CN Tower once when we took my cousin who was visiting from England. She loved the glass-bottom floor and was laying down on it and jumping on it when the kids weren't doing it. I wanted no part of it.

I'm not afraid of heights, but I'm not sure I could go out there. Too freaky for me.

The bar is great! We also asked the guy if we were in the right line and he just took us straight to four seats.

Absolutely no way. I have this reoccurring dream where I'm walking on some mountain trail and I look down and notice I've walked off the edge. I wake up before I do a wile e. coyote.

No freakin' way.

The Stratosphere hotel in Vegas has a ride - basically a track of roller coaster - that goes out over the top of the building (says its the highest building west of mississippi) - then tilts you back - then tilts you out over again.

That picture itself draws my balls so deep into their shelter, it isn't even funny.
