<div id="urb-ads-toc-box" class="post-ads-toc-box urb-ads-toc" style="display:none;"></div><p>A new amusement offering on the 70th floor of the highest skyscraper on the West Coast is stepping up the game, going beyond <a href="https://weburbanist.com/2010/12/24/13-scary-sky-high-platforms-observation-decks/">glass viewing platforms</a>, <a href="https://weburbanist.com/2015/08/25/sky-swimming-transparent-pool-bridges-two-10-story-buildings/">swimming pools</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://weburbanist.com/2015/10/06/chinese-skywalk-worlds-longest-glass-bridge-spans-two-cliffs/">bridges</a>&nbsp;to boast a fully-transparent outdoor slide for bold&nbsp;adventurers, all at a lofty 1,000-foot elevation.</p>

<p>Owners of the U.S Bank Tower are adding this extreme sightseeing measure to thrill (or terrify) visitors who wish to simulate the experience of jumping out of a skyscraper. The 36-foot&nbsp;Skyslide&nbsp;will take guests from the 70th down to the 69th floor.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/skyscraper-glass-slide-viewing-platform-960x483.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-89895" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/skyscraper-glass-slide-viewing-platform-468x235.jpg" alt="skyscraper glass slide viewing platform" width="468" height="235"></a></p>
<p>The so-called Skyslide is part of a new observation deck expansion that will charge $25 per ticket, or another $8 to ride the side of the scraper via a trap door.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/us-bank-tower.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-89894" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/us-bank-tower-468x354.jpg" alt="us bank tower" width="468" height="354"></a></p>
<p>Attached by minimal metal supports, the clear glass will give stunning views of the surrounding city, at least for those brave enough to keep their eyes open on the way down. Meanwhile, on the East Coast, visitors can experience a similar thrill in slightly less overtly-dangerous environs, touring <a href="https://weburbanist.com/2015/04/21/3d-nyc-timelapse-500-years-of-history-in-1-wtc-elevator-ride/">50 years of history in 1 WTC elevator ride</a>.</p>
