Best part of this experience was the guys who worked there. There is a platform below where you are leaning off, so it actually isn’t that high. People afraid of heights may have trouble, but it didn’t feel scary if you aren’t. Be prepared to climb up a lot of stairs. That was the most thrilling part for me. You’re definitely strapped in, but it is cool looking over. You’ve got to pull a safety thing up with you, so you’re working the arms and legs at that part. Overall a great experience. Gift shop people not friendly, but that has nothing to do with the climb.
