The fully transparent, outdoor elevator - named Ascent - is being created as part of a $3.3billion development "in the crown of" One Vanderbilt, midtown Manhattan.

It will transport tourists 1,210ft up alongside the 77-storey tower, while sky boxes - nicknamed Levitation - will jut off of the building and suspend people 1,063ft above Madison Avenue.

No way - I almost passed out in the Eiffel Tower Elevator and it's not even close to as bad as that!!!! That's horrifying.

Nope. Not after seeing the guy in China crossing that glass bridge that broke last week! Seeing him dangle scarred me for life.

No, but I don't ride elevators period. I can't tell you last time I was in one. But as a little kid I probably would have loved this!

Re: NYC glass elevator - would you ride it?

No. I have gone on glass floors on things like the CN tower and other high up spaces, but there is no way I would go on the glass elevator.

I think if there were seats in it, I would. I think if I were standing, though, I would get dizzy.

Re: NYC glass elevator - would you ride it?

I am intensely claustrophobic (so I don't ride elevators as it is), but absolutely not. I would have a panic attack!

Would you go on it if the walls were clear, but the floor was solid?

No. That wouldn't help either.
I am also extremely claustrophobic so I avoid elevators at all costs.

However, if the elevator was inside the building with glass; I would be OK with it. I would prefer that all elevator walls are see through especially where the doors close. It might help...Chat Icon
