Unusual rides at the observation deck

Residents of modern cities all the more difficult something to surprise. If earlier, the observation deck with a beautiful view was an exciting adventure in themselves, but today the creators of "elevated" structures are forced to go further by offering visitors new and unexpected rides on top.

We have collected several interesting rides on top, with the most famous skyscrapers in the world.

Insanity, USA, Las Vegas Start, without much reverence, with the most insane — in fact, that is exactly the official name of this attraction. It is located on the observation tower of the hotel-casino "stratosphere Las Vegas" and is a conventional carousel. Except that you have to spin over a 300-meter abyss in 20 m from the edge of the roof. Insanity rotates pretty quickly, developing an overload in 3g, and passengers are, of course, face down.
