Grand Canyon Skywalk - Lame?
http://www.hicks-wright.net/blog.php?id=5173
This blog post is a review of a trip this guy took to the new, highly cool-looking, Grand Canyon Skywalk. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s basically a glass-floored walkway that sticks out over the Canyon. Sounds awesome, and I’ve wanted to go on it ever since I first saw the pictures. According to this post, it pretty much sucks. First they charge you way more than advertised, then it’s not even finished, and they don’t let you take cameras. Let me repeat, NO CAMERAS. What? You’re at the Grand Freaking Canyon and they don’t let you take pictures?
I was just at the GC recently for the first time and I was pretty impressed by the tourist parts that were there, hopefully this will get better over time. But if they think they can just foist off some lame, overly-expensive, half-built thing on people (and not even let them take pictures for pete’s sake) and not have the bad word-of-mouth spread they’ve got another thing coming. I have no plans to go back to the Canyon anytime soon but until I hear that things have gotten a lot better at the Skywalk I’ll be skipping it.
