HFLR Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I just saw this on CNN this morning, this is going to be inagurated today in a ceremony but would you pay 75 bucks for this?, What do you think about this price and attraction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliesphan18 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 What the? It looks dorky, like the rock is sticking out its tongue! I probably wouldn't pay 75 bucks for it, maybe for a bit less I would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I would love to actually go out on that and if I had money to waste I probably would, but right now, I can't even afford going to the Grand Canyon, let alone the 75 big ones to walk out like that.

bishop1122 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I'd pay it if the floor was glass, actually i might not go out if it was glass. Hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespungo Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I'd pay it if the floor was glass, actually i might not go out if it was glass. Hmm The floor is actually see-through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred13 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 The floor is actually see-through. Spungo, have you been out on it? btw, how far is the grand canyon from Las Vegas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespungo Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Spungo, have you been out on it? btw, how far is the grand canyon from Las Vegas? Funny enough, I'll probably be there the day it opens. I'm driving out to meet my parents in the Phoenix area for some Royals spring training games (it's a little over four hours away from here) and on our way back to Vegas my dad wants to take a walk out on that thing. Rest assured, however, I would never ever set foot on that death trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Rest assured, however, I would never ever set foot on that death trap. LOL I would actually love to go on it. I love heights. I live pretty close to Niagara Falls so whenever I go, I go on this cable car that goes over it. Its pretty fun when your with someone who's scared out of their wits.

Yankee4Life Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 No way. Not if the floor is see through. In fact, I wouldn't do it if the floor was concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philliesphan18 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Wow - I used to be scared of heights too. Then after I went up in the glass elevator in the Space Needle in Seattle I wasn't scared of them as much. Wierd huh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itmike Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I would like to go out on it just to see what it looks like. I might pay $10 to do it. $75 is a bit much to do this though. Like the guy said above me you can get in a good theme park all day for that price, not a 3 minute skywalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I won't go out on that because it's the ugliest thing to ever happen to the Grand Canyon. All the tribes are up in arms that recycled water is being used on the mountains for snow out here because the mountains are sacred, but its OK for the Haulupai are allowed to build this on sacred ground. Facking ridiculous. It all comes down to money. Let also not forget that we can still hike down into the canyon which is way cooler. Spungo when you coming out. I'll buy you a beer.

thespungo Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Spungo when you coming out. I'll buy you a beer. My yearly jaunt down Phoenix way begins this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, for the Royals games against the Mariners and Brewers. Normally I'd need several beers to make it through a Royals spring training game, but now that Butler and Gordon are tearing it up I might actually have to pay close attention. I read online that a few Royals spring games have sold out -- are there tons of people down there this year, or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compmaniac Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 That looks pretty dangerous, especially since I can't even see supports jutting out the bottom of the platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravesj858 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 no, i'm not going on that thing unless someone paid me to go on it, and even then i wouldn't go. just not comfy going on those types of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I would do it. But not for $75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lautrec Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Actually, it's 25 dollars. You cannot take any cameras out with you, due to request from the local Hopi tribe -- something about it robbing the canyon of it's soul. On March 21st, Buzz Aldrin (2nd man on the moon) and a representative of the Hopi tribe walked out together to open the attraction to the public. I'm currently on vacation in Vegas, and saw all this on local news. I'd pay 25 bucks, but no way 75. Also, I suspect the camera thing is probably more about gouging the tourists for the "officially sanctioned tribal photo" than robbing the canyon's soul.

philliesphan18 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Ah - it is 25 so then I would go out on there. Also, I didn't know that it had already opened, I thought it was still in the planning stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJEagles Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Nope, I would not go anywhere near it. I can't climb a 6 foot ladder without crying like a little schoolgirl. Makes me want to puke just thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 it's 25 to go on the walk but 50 additional to get into the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
