Eureka currently stands as the highest public vantage point in the Southern Hemisphere. Rather than having a standard [observation deck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cn-tower-renovation) to enjoy the views, Skydeck 88 has a thrill seeking component called 'The Edge' which is a glass cube that projects 3 metres out from the building - with you in it - so that you are suspended almost 300 metres above the ground. You can even get a souvenir photo of yourself in the cube. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Glass Cube Attractions:** The development of transparent glass cube attractions that offer a thrilling and unique experience for visitors. - **Extending Observation Decks:** The trend of extending observation decks by creating structures that protrude from buildings, offering a more exhilarating vantage point for tourists. - **High-altitude Suspended Experiences:** The rise of high-altitude suspended experiences that provide an adrenaline-pumping adventure for thrill-seeking individuals. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Tourism:** The tourism industry can explore new opportunities by incorporating glass cube attractions into their offerings to attract adventurous travelers. - **Architecture:** Architectural firms can capitalize on the trend of extending observation decks by designing innovative structures that create unique and memorable experiences for visitors. - **Photography:** The photography industry can tap into the demand for souvenir photos by offering services to capture memorable moments within glass cube attractions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Wedding Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-on-the-ledge.md) - [Thrill Ride-Topped Ultra-High Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-torch.md) - [Elevated Urban Skate Venues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aan-architects.md) - [Optical Illusion Replica Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liberty-science-center.md) - [London-Based Glass Lift Viewpoints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lift-109.md) - [Cube-Shaped Skyscraper Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mukaab.md) - [Exclusive Skyscraper Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empire-state-building-hazy-ipa.md) - [Staggered Cubic Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ooda.md) - [Remote Viewing Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telepresence-observation-pavilion.md)
