Attention thrillseekers

Just when I thought it was boring to go to the Grand Canyon, here comes a Grand Canyon Skywalk. I thought it was fake until I snopesed it and it is TRUE!!!

Those little towers are to give you a scale as to how high this thing will be. Can you flipping believe it ? Gorram!

The $30 million all-glass Skywalk will hover 4,000 feet above the Colorado River over a rim of the Grand Canyon, allowing tourists to stroll on an 80-yard walk around a semicircular platform jutting beyond the canyon rim, surrounded by Plexiglas that will provide a spectacular view of the canyon floor directly below. Construction began March of 2004 and is estimated to be completed by early 2006. In May 2005, the final test was conducted and the stucture passed engineering requirements by 400 percent, enabling it to withstand the weight of 71 fully loaded Boeing 747 airplanes (more that 71 million pounds). The bridge will be able to sustain winds in excess of 100 miles per hour from 8 different directions, as well as an 8.0 magnitude earthquake within 50 miles. More than one million pounds of steel will go into the construction of the Grand Canyon Skywalk. The Skywalk's opening is planned for early 2006, the attraction being part of a new Grand Canyon West resort on the Hualapai reservation at the western edge of the park, about 120 miles from Las Vegas.

Ok, did I mention that you couldn't drug me heavily enough to get me on that thing? You couldn't pay me enough either.
