Brave tourists have been trying out Chicago's newest attraction - a 1000ft-high viewing platform that offers spectacular downward facing views over the city.
勇敢的游客都在体验芝加哥最新景点——1000英尺(约305米)高的观景台,从观景台向下看,整个城市一览无余。
TILT is housed in 360 CHICAGO on the 94th floor of the John Hancock Tower and, as the name suggests, the enclosed glass and steel platform tilts visitors forward for a unique perspective of the city's The Magnificent Mile.
观景台取名TILT,设在摩天大楼“360芝加哥”内的约翰汉考克大楼第94层。正如它的名字,这个封闭的玻璃钢筋观景台可以令游客的身体前倾,从独特的视角向游客展示了芝加哥最著名的街区“华丽的一英里”。
The attraction, which costs $5 to tourists and is thought to be the first of its kind, holds up to eight people, with the platform slowly moving outward to an adventurous 30-degree angle above the Windy City.
这个独一无二的景点门票定价5美元,可以同时承载8个人,平台会慢慢向下倾斜至非常惊险的30度,俯瞰整个“风城”。
Patrick Abisseror, CEO of Montparnasse 56 Group, which owns 360 CHICAGO, said: ‘We had a vision for elevating the experience, and providing memories for guests that will last a lifetime.
