Glass Floor
The Facts:
Thickness: 2 ½ "
Size of each panel: 42" by 50"
Layers from the top down:
■ 3/16 " scuff plate (replaced annually)
■ Two ½ " layers of clear tempered glass, laminated together
■ A one inch layer of air (for insulation)
■ Two ¼ " layers of clear tempered glass, laminated together
Load tests are performed annually on each panel to ensure safety
TEST YOUR NERVE!
With a view 1,122' straight down, even those not afraid of heights
might need a little help. Think you can handle it? Wait till you get
here and see if you feel the same way.
The Glass Floor has been specifically designed for you to have fun
on it, so walk or crawl across it, sit on it or even jump on it.
Don't worry it won't break.
The floor is 256 square feet of solid glass that is five times stronger
than the required weight bearing standard for commercial floors. It can
actually withstand the weight of 14 large hippos.
Also on this level, be sure to check out the Outdoor Observation Level.
Feel the breeze at 342m (1,122') above the ground.
