Eureka Tower

I just read a quick something about Eureka Tower in Melbourne, Australia at Josh Spear.

Eureka Tower in Melbourne is currently the world’s tallest residential building. It boasts a very unique attraction as well called “The Edge” (such a bold and dangerous name!).

The Edge is a moving glass cube that extends from the building — with you standing inside — putting you somewhere around 300 meters above the ground floor. Yep, you have nothing but you and a clear piece of thick glass between you and death 300 meters below!! HOW AWESOME!

Here’s how the website officially describes The Edge:

Skydeck 88 is the only observation deck in the world that can thrill you with ‘The Edge’ - a glass cube which projects 3 metres out from the building - with you in it - suspended almost 300 metres above the ground!

Man, I really want to go. For a $12 attraction, this is totally worth the feeling of warm piss running down my leg when I finally question what the heck I’m doing standing 300 meters above the earth with just a plate of glass to support me. Whew! Can’t wait! :D

I am walking distance to Eureka Tower! FANTASTIC!

Some miscellaneous information about Eureka Tower at Wikipedia. And here are some fast facts from the Skyscraper Page.
