Fusion X. Denver Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I always loved jumping off the top of the Empire State Building in Spider-Man 2 and falling all the way down until you landed and died instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Oh, the Shard. I wish Jordan was here, so I can make a Shard joke. It's in London where I live, and takes about half an hour by train/tube/subway/whatever it's called to get to the building. I still need to visit it since it's finished.

FindingTheEverlight Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I've been to the Sears Tower (Willis Tower), back when I was a young child, I think that's what sparked my acrophobia. It's cool being up do high, I was worried the whole time that the Tower was going to fall down, but now I know that they're structural integrity was created by geniuses.

Desu the Blue Nerd Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 [color=#0000CD]Chicago is a fun place to be. It's got the Sears Tower (f*ck calling it Willis Tower) and that one pretty big ferris wheel. Been on that platform way up high on Sears Tower when I was in Middle School and had a German exchange student staying over for two weeks. Was it kind of scary? Well yeah. Would I do it again? Oh of course. When we went on the ferris wheel my dad was freaking out. It was pretty funny. Now if only we could actually get him to go to Sears Tower whwen we go there again next year.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sh*t scared the hell out of me. I haven't been on it in years though, so I doubt I'd react the same again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
