LOS ANGELES—It’s one thing to look out over Los Angeles from the tallest building in the western U.S.
Soon, the view will take on new intensity as risk-takers careen down a clear glass slide 305 metres above ground.
Beginning in June, visitors can shoot from the 70th to the 69th floor of the U.S. Bank Tower downtown.
The building owners say it will be the country’s first “skyslide.”
The 13.7-metre-long attraction is part of a $50-million renovation that also will put a bar and open-air observation deck on the top floors of the 72-storey building.
The slide—with nothing but 3.2 cm of glass separating riders from the ground—is expected to be the main draw.
