I'm not losing any sleep over it but it is a defacement of the canyon and probably shouldn't have been built.

And the load limit is so high they will never exceed it. But at 4,000 feet up, you'd have about 20 seconds to say: "If I ever get my hands on that Beestie dude, I'm gonnaa..." before you went splat.

A defacement to the canyon? Do you know how big the canyon is? Christ, they don't even try to recover crashed aircraft. How far out in the middle of nowhere this is. Hours drive through nothing. Who owns this area? They do. How much better this is than any of the National park service rim projects. Orders of magnitude.
This wouldn't make a pimple on the ass of a flea, on a camel, on Noah's ark ,on the great flood as seen from Pluto. :smack:

I should be able to put my gum on the Mona Lisa... just on the corner though.

I think it's really cool--I hope they do very well from it.

Quote:

A few members of the Hualapai Indian Tribe, which allowed the Grand Canyon Skywalk to be built, hopped up and down on the horseshoe-shaped structure. At its edge -- 70 feet beyond the rim -- the group peeked over the glass wall.

"I can hear the glass cracking!" Hualapai Chairman Charlie Vaughn said playfully.
That Chairman is a funny, funny man!

:worried:

Quote:

Many Hualapai (pronounced WALL-uh-pie) worry about disturbing nearby burial sites, and environmentalists have blamed the tribe for transforming the majestic canyon into a tourist trap.
Oh, the irony.

You can when you own it. I can already hear you bitching about people telling what you can/should or cannot/shouldn't do, with your own property. :rolleyes: From here.

"I can hear the glass cracking."
Yeah, he's a barrel of fucking laughs.
Wall-uh-pie.
More like Canyon-floor-uh-pizza.

This will end badly.

Scale it? You can spit over it. More likely somebody falling off trying to whiz over it. :lol:

The floor is made of diamonds?

Just don't tell anyone you did it in the Grand Canyon. They might think you were talking about your partner. ;)

Bungee jumping and parachute jumps.

Elspode 03-23-2007 06:43 PM

I like it. I understand the valid complaints about cheapening the grandeur of the canyon, but hey...its gonna be just another rubble filled shallow depression in another billion years, so who's gonna know?
