Global Ballooning Australia - Melbourne Flight

Hace más de 100 años, los victorianos construyeron un puente que se ha convertido en uno de los monumentos más famosos de Londres. Se construyeron pasarelas en la planta superior para permitir que la gente cruzara el Támesis mientras se levantaba el puente para el paso de grandes barcos. En la actualidad, estas pasarelas se utilizan como lugar de observación, ofreciendo a los visitantes las vistas más espectaculares del skyline de Londres. Pasarelas y exposición: Los visitantes entran a la Exposición del Tower Bridge por la Torre Norte. Luego son trasladados en ascensor hasta la parte superior de la torre (47 metros sobre el Támesis) donde tienen la oportunidad única de ver la estructura de acero del puente des de su interior. Un cortometraje cuenta los orígenes e historia del puente y luego hay la posibilidad de contemplar vistas espectaculares desde ambas pasarelas cubiertas. Junto con vistas excepcionales del este de Londres, la pasarela cuenta con 20 reconocidos puentes que forman la popular exposición "Grandes puentes del mundo". En la pasarela este hay fantásticas vistas de los Docklands y desde la pasarela oeste se puede ver el nuevo edificio del ayuntamiento, la catedral de Saint Paul, la City, la Pool de Londres, el Big Ben y el London Eye en la distancia. Los kioscos interactivos y los paneles gráficos explican los detalles de las vistas a los visitantes, así como también ofrecen información sobre la historia y la construcción del puente. El material interactivo y los paneles gráficos están traducidos en siete idiomas y para el video también hay un audio en bucle para las personas con dificultades auditivas. En la Torre Sur hay otro video para ver antes de descender a las históricas salas de máquinas, que están incluidas en el precio de su entrada. Salas de máquinas victorianas: Estas ofrecen una interesante perspectiva de la ingeniería de finales del siglo XIX. Instaladas en la finalización del Tower Bridge en 1894, estos enormes motores impulsados ​​por carbón se usaron para alimentar los miles de elevadores basculantes del puente hasta 1976. Aunque los elevadores ahora son impulsados por la electricidad, las máquinas de vapor originales todavía se conservan en el lugar. En las salas de máquinas se ofrece a los visitantes la oportunidad de experimentar con modelos que muestran la tecnología que hay en el puente. También hay algunas fotografías increíbles del Tower Bridge a lo largo de su historia, incluida una imagen reveladora de la estructura de acero del puente antes de instalar el revestimiento de piedra.

SKYDECK CHICAGO At 1,353 feet and 110 stories above the streets of downtown Chicago, The Ledge at the Willis Tower (formerly known as Sears Tower) Skydeck will transform any visitor's--or local's for that matter--experience with the Windy City. In January 2009, Willis Tower owners began a major renovation of the beloved Skydeck, which originally opened in 1974, and served as a premier tourist attraction throughout the skyscraper's tenure as the Sears Tower. When ownership changed hands, the fresh blood added a fresh look--and adrenaline rush--to the 103rd floor in the form of retractable glass balconies extending about 4 feet over Wacker Drive and the Chicago River below. Still the 8th tallest building in the world, and the absolute tallest in the Western Hemisphere, Willis Tower's Skydeck draws 1.5 million people a year who are eager to ascend the 110-story, 1,454 foot (443 meter) building for awesome panoramic views of the city and surrounding countryside. Your journey to the top of the Willis Tower starts with a walk through an airport-style metal detector, followed by a slow elevator ride down to the waiting area where visitors queue for tickets. A sign will tell you how long you'll have to wait to get up high; this is a good time to confirm the visibility. Even days that seem sunny can have upper-level haze that limits the view. On good days, however, you can see for 40 to 50 miles (64 to 80 kilometers), as far as the states of Indiana, Michigan. Iowa, and Wisconsin. While you wait, you can watch a film about Willis Tower factoids. Then you'll wait a little longer before the ear-popping, 70 second elevator ride up to the 103rd floor deck. From here, the entire city stretches below, and you can see exactly how Chicago is laid out. Willis Tower, Skydeck, and The Ledge Fast Facts The hundreds of forehead prints visitors left behind each week on Skydeck windows served as this inspiration for The Ledge. The Ledge boxes can each bear about 4-1/2 metric tons of weight, and adventurers who trust that statistic enough to prove it can often be found jumping and bounding around the entirely translucent enclosures as Chicago's heavy traffic and infrastructure bustle below. The Ledge’s glass panels weight 1,500 pounds apiece, and each box is comprised of three layers of half-inch thick glass laminated into one seamless unit. In addition to serving 1.3 million tourists per year in its 4.5+ million square feet of space, Willis Tower is home to more than 100 companies, including prominent law, insurance, transportation, and financial services. The Ledge's glass boxes retract into the Skydeck main floor for easy maintenance, probably mostly cleaning off the 974 dead birds that must fly into them every month. The Moonwalk is the most popular dance performed on The Ledge, followed closely by the Running Man. Riverdance clocks in at a distant third. Bringing people who are afraid of heights to The Ledge is not recommended, unless you are mean-spirited or really don't like them. In which case, you should probably just take them here. Willis Tower was known as Sears Tower for decades, until the 30th anniversary of Diff'rent Strokes, at which point it was rightfully renamed   SHEDD AQUARIUM EXHIBITS UNDERWATER BEAUTY – A SPECIAL EXHIBIT Our living world is full of wonder.
