Not only in height–but in wonder, purity and ecstasy? In the world where everybody is busy and rushing after the other popular thing, such a moment when the time is frozen is difficult to find.

SKYPOD ELEVATORS
Impervious to gravity and whipping by the years, SKYPOD ELEVATORS are the wonders of the modern world. The ride takes 47 seconds at high speeds of 102 floors, and in that regard, it becomes a time capsule. You will also find immersive virtual screens in each of the elevators, where you will be presented with the process of how New York morphed into a concrete jungle. This is unlike the usual rides as this one teaches you as it speeds.
The ride between the ground level and the observation tower can be better considered a metaphor of the city as we know it- hectic, constantly developing and constantly rising. It is a physical, as well as an emotional elevator, with screens that go all the way to the ceiling and look like they might disappear into the imagination.
- Lightning-fast ride in under 50 seconds to 102nd floor
- 360° LED display showing NYC’s development over time
- Smooth, silent elevation with panoramic immersion
- Educational experience embedded into the thrill
Reach new heights before you even step outside!
SEE FOREVER® THEATER
The real emotional story telling is set at the centre of SEE FOREVER THEATER where a colourful audiovisual montage records the heart beat of New York. Hearing the music grow and feeling the screen envelope you and the rhythmic energy of the city music below draws you in, is what the music was about. It is a small yet so strong homage that is artistic and filmic and pays tribute to grittiness, culture, and hope. And when the emotion gets highest, the projection lifts…and it is no longer that you watch the skyline, you are in it.
The room provides an unrestricted panoramic view of the city and this makes the transition one of the most jaw dropping transition ever.
- Score synced to NYC’s unique urban tempo
