leigh white Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Did the Blackpool one umteen times, my dad took me to a visit to London in 66 and visited the Post Office tower. The out of bounds tower at Strangeways after the prison riots was my favorite, walking up the spiral staircase in the pitch black and finding out the handrail was missing halfway up was scary until I reached the top. Cracking view once on top of Manchester and beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted December 1, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2018 CN Tower Toronto, cloudy as anything, saw fuck all. Space needle Seattle, brilliant view, love that place. did a miniature version of CN tower at Niagra which had a cracking view of the falls. Eiffel Tower but the Vegas one if that counts.

Site Supporter Cheese Posted December 1, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2018 KL Tower in Kuala Lumpur a couple of years ago. Nearly shit myself as it's an open viewing platform, and I'm extremely scared of heights. Constantly felt like some mental cunt was going to grab my legs and throw me over. Also went up the Petronas Towers on the same day. Fucking stunning city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was lying on the angled glass hanging over space. My legs buckled just watching him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted December 1, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 1, 2018 The Twin Towers 9 days before they got blown up Done Petronas but felt ripped off you didn't get to go to the top and only about halfway or so They wanted £75 for Burj Khalifa so fucked it off Tokyo Skytree, queued for ages but fuck me you get a feel for just how big and congested a city it is from the top, quite enjoyed that one but was too cloudy to see Mount Fuji which spoiled it a little bit Eiffel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 CN tower Skylon Tower at niagra, had me tea in the revolving restaurant up there a couple of times.

Site Supporter Cheese Posted December 1, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2018 Speaking of revolving restaurants...Been to Kansas City a few times with work, and stayed at the Sheraton, which has one on the roof. Last time I was there, the San Francisco 49ers were staying there too, and I got in the lift with a few of them. I'm 6'2", but I felt like a midget.
