It's the truest test of an adrenaline junkie -- a glass side with a completely transparent bottom structure suspended a proper 1,000 feet above the sidewalks of Los Angeles. A part of the Skyspace LA project, a multi-level entertainment experience that is set to spread across as many as four different floors on a skyscraper, the Skyslide spans 45 feet across.
In addition to the glass slide experience, Skyspace will also be home to an open-air observation deck that will be the tallest in California, and will promise gorgeously panoramic 360-degree views of the City of Angels.
Set to open on June 25 and accessible for a price of $25, this clear glass slide will make for an experience that is at once terrifying and stimulating.
