Also saw it on some DC blogs etc. My thought is if can generate an additional 20 to 30 million in revenues a year as they do elsewhere, that would seem to help support a lot of additional high rise construction.
No doubt it'll create revenue. People like me will gobble this up. I can only name a few major cities that I've ever traveled to where I didn't go completely out of my way to see it from above, whether its a peak, skyscraper, church belltower, communications tower, Ferris wheel, etc. And the one's that did feature some sort of glass gimmick were wildly popular with tourists - every time. Although I'm horrified that that skywalk was allowed to be built at the Grand Canyon, it doesn't surprise me at all that even that glass gimmick seems to be popular.

If they allow it, I'm gonna Rickey Henderson that thing face down. Twice.
