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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astra-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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cn-tower-renovation) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Glass Attractions:** Opportunity for other cities to create similar transparent slide attractions to cater to adrenaline junkies and thrill-seekers. - **Vertical Entertainment:** Potential for skyscrapers to incorporate multi-level entertainment experiences, combining observation decks, slides, and other thrilling attractions. - **Transparent Architecture:** Possibility for architects and designers to experiment with transparent materials for unique and daring architectural structures. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Tourism:** Glass slides and transparent attractions can enhance tourist attractions and drive visitors to new destinations. - **Construction:** Increased demand for innovative construction techniques and materials to incorporate transparent elements in architectural designs for entertainment purposes. - **Recreation:** Opportunity for the recreation industry to offer thrilling experiences by creating exhilarating transparent attractions and entertainment hubs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Canyon Viewing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/72-turns.md) - [Elevated Urban Skate Venues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aan-architects.md) - [Record-Breaking Skate Megaramps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-bulls-building-drop.md) - [Sandwich-Inspired Water Slides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-n-slides.md) - [Tranquil A‑Frame Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steel-a-frame.md) - [Unique Wedding Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-on-the-ledge.md) - [Futuristic Cultural Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lucas-museum-of-narrative-arts.md) - [Ski Resort Crystalline Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena-ski-resort.md) - [Cliffside-Attached Rental Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cliff-dweller-cabin.md)
