Some friends went- total F-ing ripoff!!!  They charge you to breath and think.  $100 per person minimum.  Red Skins getting their revenge.
$50-200 dollars just to walk around on a high u? Now if they had a race on that, then I could see it..

In many ways the size is a pure advantage with these tall buildings like in case of a earth quake or wind where the mass has a stabilizing effect. They are big projects but they sure are no displays of ingenuity.

As someone with a morbid fear of high places, I can say a definitive 'No'.

No - I would not walk on either of those walkways. Not a chance. Nuh uh.  I would be sitting against the closest wall, rocking.

I get nervous just looking at shut like this. I'm with you.

I remember reading that BASF Chemical created a new concrete additive just for this project (the burj).  They needed a high early strength concrete which would allow slab pours to proceed at a floor per week but which wouldn't sacrifice later development of full compressive strength.  

They basically solved the whole drawback of HE concrete.
