Seems there has to be more than just "the view" these days, as evidenced by plans for the new WTC deck. I wonder exactly what will be planned at 1 Vanderbilt's deck...

30 Hudson Yards Tower Will Feature Mysterious 'Thrill Device'

The Posts' Lois Weiss reports that 30 Hudson Yards, the Hudson Yards megaproject's second tower and eventual home of Time Warner, will feature a mysterious "thrill device." Related Hudson Yards Jay Cross told attendees at a Young Mens'/Womens' Real Estate luncheon last month that "You can choose to pay for it separately and crap your pants." He has remained tight-lipped ever since, leaving Weiss to speculate that the attraction will be a glass walkway connected to the tower's 1,000-foot-high outdoor observation center, similar to the ones in the Willis Tower and John Hancock Tower in Chicago.

That sounds good and all, but we're still hoping for one of those bungee slingshots. Or maybe a zip line between 30 Hudson Yards and 10 Hudson Yards? Come on, Related, you know you want to.

Related is keeping mum on the details of the feature, but the developer did talk about the 150-foot tall Thomas Heatherwick sculpture that will become the focal point of the public space at its Hudson Yards new development. In recent years, observatory decks have been a popular addition to city spires as a way to draw visitors.

I'm also interested to finally see what that 150 ft sculpture will look like.
