Grand Canyon Skywalk 2

[BluesMage]

kind of stupid idea...nothing special and atractive

[GrrrIamMad]

You think that is scary? Check out the CN Tower Edge Walk.

[22gwill]

@GrrrIamMad That's 3,000 feet shorter though

[bel250]

We drove 3 hrs. from Las Vegas and as we got closer, it turned into a dirt road with heavy traffic of tourist buses and rental cars. As soon as we got to the welcome center, they told us to buy $85/person ticket to get to the skywalk. We got so frustrated, turned around and drove another 3 hrs. to get to the north rim, all we have to pay is $25./car to get to The Grand Canyon State Park, and it was well worth it, we saw a herd of elks at the park grazing all over the place.

zajebisty widok i zajebista adrenalina podłogę na tarasie widokowym mamy ze szkła - czyli jest przezroczysta.

[Taratuff]

From Tusayan is better... So much... You can sleep in any resort, get the elicopter, or drive near grand canyon for al lot of miles... You can sit on the precipice...

I suggest Tusayan from Flagstaff or Williams.

[Stottly]

thanks for your comments gamer00341...we were heading there to see it in 3 weeks but did,nt realise it was such a scam... you saved my good kiwi bucks....come to New Zealand were everything is FREE

[gamer00341]

FUCK SKYWALK I HOPE WHOEVER CREATED IT KILLS HIMSELF AND GOES TO HELL. CUASE NOBODY WOULD PAY 75 BUCKS TO BE ONLY ALLOWED TO STAY THERE FOR 10 SECONDS AND NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE PICTURES. I REALLY HOPE THAT THE DUDE WHO THOUGHT OF THIS DIES AND GOES TO HELL. THATS WHERE HE BELONGS.

[Stottly]

@gamer00341

thanks dude ....we would have got sucked big time ...

[Silverhazed]

@gamer00341 The most sad part is that there are people that pay this kind of money.

[wintercat2]

@gamer00341 - I feel the same way about Losers like you who always types in upercase letters.

[tolucawood]

The skywalk is a rip-off.

[anableps67360]

@tolucawood .yes and indians are bastards morons twats swindlers thieves gangsters

[neilzep]

@anableps67360 they learned that from the Master....the white devil....been doing that for thousands of years...parasites. I live in Az,drive by a rez almost everyday...see the devils work,

[catanan]

When and why the hell did this turned into a race issue?

[lichaojue]

they really wanna die

[Lachito1000]

I don't know why they made me wear those stupid socks over my shoes, the floor glass is all scratched up anyways.

[Lachito1000]

If the weather is bad they won't let you in and there's no way to know about the forecast in advance; 30 miles of unpaved road, lack of information at the website as well as the visitors center (no signs anywhere) you need be to asking people all the time about every single little detail, $70.00 to walk the thing ...... was not worth it for me.

[susioful]

I was at the time working for the company that made this !

[badsoldiercamp789]

I went on this its scary as shit, and they make u wear silly socky things over ur shoes :P

[beet111]

i went on it and it is awsome! dont listen to catanan. there is a food place accually very close and you can drive out there you dont need to take a bus. its well worth the money

[Mw2Legit10th]

How much does it cost to get into that?

[BRADFORDCITYworstFAN]

one of the sickest things iv ever done u no looking down threw the glass is amazing

[joevig2]

Wow, I love the Grand Canyon and I always thought hat the Skywalk was part of the National Park and was free! You have to pay to get on and can't bring a camera? That IS a ripoff!!!! There are many places along the rim where you get a breath taking view and can see down hundreds of feet! I'll steer clear of the rip off "Skywalk"

[BRADFORDCITYworstFAN]

@joevig2 its only 30 dollars which is pretty good as you can spend how long as you want on it

[Liam2621]

its just a big hole in the ground, i dont see the point

[chinh101]

how much does it cost per person to be here ? if you can please reply asap

[thefloatingcheese2]

maybe they use all those fees to make one that goes all the way acrosss!

[MrMaxbraw]

Another wonderful visual is on youtube by typing"escalada ao pico do itaguare"

[djmattwilson]

"(you can see 4000' straight down!)" no you can't......

[Senicova]

I don't think it will collapse anytime soon. In the show " Life After People" (history channel i think) it was like 50,000 years or maybe it was longer, before it just fell into the canyon on its own. More of a concern i think would be a glass panel falling out, and you and who ever is standing on it falling. The glass weighs like 400 pounds or something, and is like 7 inches thick. I would go on it, i'd just be nervous.. who wouldn't unless you have a death wish lol

[crsvky28]

nope not me!

[RomeoDasilva01]

fuck dat lol

[eburt6]

@RomeoDasilva01  dat

[MrPOVMan]

looks like it could collapse.

[IcyyHair]

wait till it collaspe

[Jezthevalley]

it wouldn't, believe it or not, that thing can actually support a whole 747 plane.

[Pozelanore]

@Jezthevalley Exactly when will the plane need to land right there my friend?

[Jezthevalley]

@Pozelanore rofl. what i meant was it can support the weight of a whole 747 plane.

[ndrssz]

i bet you is fucking expansive just to walk in the fucking skywalk

[iBrianPurple]

thats so sketchy i would never ever go on that

[MegaSlimes]

HOW IS IT SKETCHY!?!?!?!?!

[iknazar]

i wonder where is this place

[closbt]

it's in the Grand Canyon , thats why its called "The "grand Canyon Skywalk" ......... Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!

[MrRichieRumba]

What an ugly thing to put in a beautiful place.

[bizzyfingers]

too right. thats the way the world is. spoilt in all the wrong places

[Silverhazed]

@MrRichieRumba Way of the world, when there is money to be made people don't care about ruining things.

[qusadillamclovin]

nitro circus should jump off of it haha it would be awesome

[stompedstuff]

i wonder if someone has base jumped off it

[Manwithjeep]

Just got back from 5 days in Vegas. Took a day tour to the Canyon and got the chance to go out on the skywalk. SCARY!

The walkway has a glass bottom and when I got out near the end of it, a couple of guys started jumping on it. No cameras allowed on the walk but there is a photogragher out there to take your picture if you want.

[tangsoopap]

Was there last year. The pix they take are VERY expensive to buy. I suspect that's why they don't let you take your camera altho they say it's because they don't want to chance anything dropping and scratching the floor.

[StedySniper]

Considering you just walked off of the gravel i think they just want your money.

[pajamamama5]

i would shit my pants on that thing.lol

[Pozelanore]

@pajamamama5 no you are not allowed to crap in there because it may hit the floor and break the glass. Besides at the rate you're paying you might do better to crap on your own free time. :)

[pajamamama5]

@Pozelanore its a figure of speech. means i would be scared. :)

[marjamada]

Nice video, thanks. I was planning to go there soon, so can you tell me about the hidden expenses and the ordeal? There are lots of places to see the GC, so I'd rather know about this one before making the trip. Thanks.

[pvmm215]

has anyone commit sucide on this skywalk??

[unknownsoldierz]

I have

[Sk8erChica21]

it wouldve been extra good if the skywalk fell

[J0Boa]

That fucking fence just kills the view

[Smackdaddy9]

At least the Indians will earn money. Of course, they'll spend it all on fire water. What can ya do?

[chamaka22]

I went in May 2008..I liked the experience...just the fact that you are standing 2000 feet over the grand cayon is Awesome...a bit scary at first...

[ptreyes]

I love the chain-link fence. Who would pay the twenty bucks when you can just look over the side for free?

[frogjumper58]

Yeah the canyon is cool but who would go to this spot and pay?? ..com'on what a waste of money and time! buy pix??..what a joke and its a ugly eye sore!..lets hope this goes the way of the buffalo!

[StedySniper]

Or get a chopper ride.

They charge per ride not per person.

And they charge because they need to make money to fly thier helocopters, not just to make money. But I,ve never been there personally but I will go some day.

[LilOne9290]

the helicopter ride is per person. They are making money for their tribe since the government isn't doing shit about it.

[StedySniper]

@LilOne9290

the ones my friends went on were per ride but that was a long time ago.

[clarkkarell]

For the best Grand Canyon tours, with the best Companies log on to vegasgrandtours

[catanan]

It is nice but the experience sucked overall. After you pay $75.00 a person to get to it ($35 the bus ticket -there is no other way to get to it-, $35 the skywalk entrance fee, $5 taxes) you can't use your own camera to take pictures or video, but you can pay $30.00 for a picture from them. No restaurants within 100 miles radius. I and my family (4 people) spent over 500 dollars to see it and have pictures as a memory. Booooo, Stay Away. RIPOFF

[ZandD]

@catanan omg that's a huge ripofff. Sounds horrible.

[WIETxx]

@catanan thts because the indians are trying to get as much money off of us as they can why cant they just build a casino like the rest of them

[thoostorm4]

@catanan falling is free

[catanan]

@thoostorm4

no is not, you have to pay good money to get to a good spot :))

[driver521221]

skywalk is an indian term meaning how to ripoff the white man.

[cdngal75]

LOL!!!

[scotlandkid08]

lol

[windrivercountrykid]

honest injun?

[joinapak]

@driver521221 isnt that what casino means too? Lol

[moveupnotdown]

@driver521221 hey. what goes around comes around, 

[TheAjr1987]

@driver521221 Yeah, well, it's probably better to pay money for an optional skywalk than to have your entire race murdered, land taken and every belief pulverized.

Just sayin'.

And, I am a white guy. I'm just not completely ignorant to how much we've been the complete assholes of history.

[RocketRodder]

@driver521221 Revenge is sa-WEET!

[jaudue12]

@driver521221 Some people like the experience of standing on a platform over a huge canyon. some people just cant realize what there actually experiencing and dont take it in :\ yes it costs a lot, so dont spend your money on it. Some people actually have the money to waste on this.

[realistromeo]

You need a zipline thingy then i would pay dolars!

[greg8998]

I heard about this! How long has this been around? I haven't been home in 2 years!

[bobtomato07]

It's been open since april or may of 2007. Not worth the $.

[rickreynolds1986]

Im going tomoz dont think i will pay to do the skywalk tho! def doing the helicopter ride! and i want to see indians!

[golfmandave9240]

correct me if im wrong, its an expensive toll road 4 humans if u ask me, i heard it just ouside the national park on Indian land, this is how the indians (who own the skywalk,fact!!!) can get back at Non Native white man's invasion of the Wild West years ago, look whos gettin shafted now, in case ur wonderin, i stayed n looked at the Canyon from the south rim, nice view...

[MILEYISAWSOME3]

AW SOO LUCKY!!

[BagelsForever]

John McCain carved out the Grand Canyon several hundred thousand years ago with his giant dick.

[captaincrassh]

I heard chuck norris bust a fuckin nut and the grand canyon is the end result.

[paulwright35]

wait for your ground tour to finish and you will be rewarded. This sky walk is over priced and with a picture it will cost you $60 or more. No camera allowed. An expensive tourist trap

[Justino111]

lame, lame...yeap...it's all about money. I just hope they use it to preserve this phenomenal, almost unreal thing that's the Grand Canyon. I am not looking forward to seeing this stupid thing called Skywalk next time I go there.

[claytkeefer]

man that was before the cafe and the gift shop and even before the mounted cameras on there its a lot different now (soon it will be even more different because there going to have a whole building around the entrance to the skywalk)

[frannnnn111]

gay

[deblouses]

Ya, it sounds expensive, but so's a day at Disneyland. This answers many tourists long speculations what it would be like if they could just walk in air over The Grand Canyon. Well, here it is!! 8D

[Ramubay]

That's not a well thought out analogy. People don't spend a day on the Skywalk...or even an hour. Maybe about 20 minutes. People would not spend all that money to go to Disneyland if there was only one attraction. If you are a first time tourist seeing the Grand Canyon from the rim will be reward itself (certainly has thrilled all these years). The Grand Canyon is all about the majesty and quiet. If you are a local this will seem a bit silly.

[deblouses]

Yes, you spend the day or more at Disneyland, but what the Skywalk offers is something that has been asked for for by Americans for all ages. It's a small price to pay for those who want it.

[Ramubay]

No it's not. Most Americans haven't asked for this. No one else even thought of it. They have appreciated the Grand Canyon the way it has been. Spoiling it with a concrete structure is not what they have been asking for. How idiotic can someone be that would stand at the rim of the Grand Canyon and say, 'I know hundreds of thousands have enjoyed this before me, but its just not enough for me.' I call this structure the idiot playpen.

[deblouses]

You're completely wrong. Many Americans have been thinking of this for thousands upon thousands of years, as would be normal. They finally built one just for that purpose. Hence, why you see it actually built there in front of you. lol Not all want it, no, but it's there for those who do.

[holz93]

argh, it's people like you who really do spoil it for the rest of us. can't you just have an open mind and see that this is an amazing feat that's been appreciated by thousands of people? I've been on it, so i should know. You call this an idiot playpen, you're just a plain idiot.

[joe3nips]

if they wanted to simulate air they would have maid the floor out of wire mesh!

[oystercrakker15]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahaha pooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooop

[ehbeheh]

I disagree that the skywalk ruins the natural beauty. There is plenty of natural beauty and the skywalk helps you see it better.

[burntsole]

OMG - jeez ppl. chill out, if your into architecture or engineering you'll absolutely love the idea, and probably the design too. BUT shit, at least the tribe is collaborating with the state and it's economy. So give me a break, give them a break and go on with your anal lives. peace and love ;)

[beeurd]

"too easy to jump over the rail."

Are you trying to be funny? There's a whole lot of un-fenced sheer drop right next to it, in case you didn't notice...

[beeurd]

well, not RIGHT next to it,. but further along there is ;)

[TraceyTi]

I visited the Grand Canyon before this Skywalk was built. After seeing this video, all I can say is that I'm disappointed. Not so much about the prices, but because it absoulutely RUINS THE NATURAL BEAUTY of the Canyons. It's sad to think that there are people who would do this to the landscape... all for money. Nature should be left in it's natural state. This skywalk needs to be removed immediately.

[sneedbee]

Why dont you go and try jumpimg of rail? you would be tripin out when you get on the skywalk or sumthing. right. ha. BS.

[drakeneyez]

I have an idea, why not stand by the edge of the canyon, like wtf is the point of this shit?

[767Dude]

it was supposed to be much bigger i think, and anyway you could see better from a commercial flight over grand canyon

[Dertygian]

767dude: Who's got the money for a flight?

[767Dude]

i'm not sayin you should just go on an airline to see the grand canyon i'm just sayin that you would get a better view

[Dertygian]

767Dude: You're right, my bad. $75 bucks better spent on an aerial view than THAT! I was ignorant of the admission price... total crap!

[767Dude]

don't worry about it mate

[ygrom79]

La entrada al skywalk es de 30 dolares, y no te dejan entrar con camara para ellos cobrarte desde 30 dolares por fotografia tomadas por ellos mismos dentro del area.

[xxyox]

That is the worst tourist trap I have ever seen.

[newfport]

That is so awful.  I agree.

[motleyphuckincrue]

Press 1 for "English"

[bapyou]

LOL!!!!

[polkamitre]

Les recomiendo que esperen 6 meses mas hasta que arreglen el camino hasta esa area, y bajen los precios... no te apuran pero la verdad es que si se pasan de careros

[polkamitre]

Solo para su conocimiento el camino para llegar a skywalk es el peor que he visto en mi vida, son 18 millas de un camino que hasta puede danar tu automovil, y lo peor de todo que llegas al lugar a pagar 81 dolares a gente mal educada... enjoy y listo para hacer coraje.

[griceldaamiga]

81dolares?? esta medio caro, no??? y te dejan mucho tiempo o te estan apurando???

[costantinoplus]

Con tutta probabilità da noi sarebbe stato vietato: deturpa il paesaggio; snatura lo scenario, etc . Invece, come si può vedere, la struttura è rimovibile e offre un'occhiata mozzafiato.
