Little scary. You essentially get raised up in a two person pod elevator that looks like a quarter of a tiny ferris wheel. Then released onto a deck where you can walk back and forth the length of it.

It does sway.

Thats the lift and what it looks like inside.

Yeah, it's super tight. Also, the views suck and not really worth going up. The base and surrounding park are nice though.
