It's about half the size of the Rockerfeller Plaza rink. Still a nice touch!

I don't know - I'm afraid of heights, and it's what - 118 feet above ground? I hope it has really high railings... 8O

Hmm ... Yags and Jumpin Joe and a few others probably shouldn't skate there, they'd end up jumping right over the railings! ;)

Impossible, they have some kind of netting round all the observation decks to prevent La Tour from becoming a suicide magnet. But if someone did mamage to generate enough force to jump clear through the netting, what a way to go!

How nice!!

I'm glad to see that a skating rink is seen to be adding a touch of class, LOL!

I think the feeling would be amazing!
