St Louis Arch Tour!

[EwAtSoN27]

@MightyStarsky well I've lived here for 18 years and been to both of those plenty of times, still sucks ass!

[EwAtSoN27]

These ppl must be from outta state cuz anyone and everyone knows theres nothing special about the state of missouri worth filming!

[MightyStarsky]

@EwAtSoN27 I lived there, theres plenty, Branson, STL. in those two alone you have alot

[Lanciarules]

This arch was copied from the one projected by Adalberto Libero for "esposizione universale romana" or E.U.R 1942.

[ItsNoelMulkey]

looks hella crowded up there...i never got to go the line was sooooooo long :P

[ItsGrantCasual]

i figured it out, took videos up in the arch and just about every single other person was as well, some will be in my next video :)

[ItsGrantCasual]

u allowed to bring video cameras up in the arch?

[indywilson40]

@ItsGrantCasual I fucked the shit out of some chic in St. Louis once. Me and the boys went there for a baseball trip and i started flirting with this girl in the centerfield bleachers. Next thing i know, she was blowing my brains out in my hotel room. I also fucked her in the ass. Bitch never called me back though.

[grumbo1563]

I was on a band trip in St. Louis. We stayed in the hotel that kind of looks like an upside down 'U' at 2:55 It was pretty cool. I don't know how I felt about the swaying back and forth over 600' above the ground though lol.

[MrGoofBob]

marshan3q yes St.Louis does have the highest crime rate acording to the 2010 ratings. I love St.Louis it is my 2nd favorite city (because I live in Nashville) i have been in the arch 2 and it was awesome! I was sort of scared at first but I got over it. I love the Cardinals and we go on a baseball trip every year. But seriously East St.Louis is preety bad. I know more about St.Louis tham my own hometown, Nashville.

[PatriotIzzy]

Looks so claustrophobic up in the viewing room D:

[Snobiker13]

@PatriotIzzy : The viewing room is not claustrophobic, but the little capsule you go up in is.

[HaloRoxMySox47]

Having lived in Missouri, I've seen this so many times. It's not so special anymore, sadly :(

[gravelandgrain100]

Went to school at SLU and lived there for a few years, but never have I been in the Arch-I am terrified of heights. I have taken many friends and relatives to the Arch but never went up.

I never felt unsafe in st louis, so i am somewhat bewildered with the moniker of worst city for crime. It is a beautiful and historic city. If I could afford a property in the CWE I would move back in a heartbeat.

[2BoyWhite]

i have been past the arch but never been in it

[dougLEGEND]

i freakin' love St.Louis

[youreoldnews]

The tower at Praire State Energy Campus in St. Clair County, Illinois is about 50 feet taller than The Arch.

[blessthefallmichael]

if the arch gets hit by lightning then it will make a time portal!

[marsh1998]

i'v went threw st.louis one time and saw the arch....its so awesome!!!!

[EuphoriaMusicSession]

you know, mcdonald's is actually planning on building an exact replica and putting it next to the old one side by side

[twistedleafpro]

I'm heading there next month :D

[DirectorB0B]

BigTexan7 - Yep, some of the food on The Hill is traditional HEAVY pasta - not my favorite either. Ahhhh, but have you tried toasted ravioli or an Amighetti sandwich? To die for! Maybe next time.

[BigTexan7]

I visited St. Louis recently and the city is great, St. Louisans are nice folks and I loved the eclectic neighborhoods (especially The Hill). The only knock on St. Louis is the food. I made an effort to eat out for the 3 days I was there and had the worst food I have ever tasted from several "celebrated" restaurants. I was psyched to eat authentic Italian cuisine in The Hill but 2 of the restaurants I tried were just awful. I don't know how people living in St. Louis eat out!

[musicluva314]

@BigTexan7 lived in stl all my life! the closest thing i've had to great italian food is the pizza! i completely agree with you as to fine dinning! but you should have tried the pizza its fantastic! and i now live in san antonio texas and its incredible here also!

[buzbeto]

I love the shots of the back of peoples head! Cool.

[codybe2cool]

The reason st.louis is the best city is because places like chicago and NY yeah there bigger but there crowded they stink they are just so.. idk not "homey" st.louis is a big city but not a big city its a city were you can feel like you still live in a small town but also in a big city... if that makes any sense idk

[musicluva314]

@marshan3q st.louis doesnt have the worst crime rate! east st.louis (illinois) has the worst crime rate! and i live in texas and know this! i've been to st.louis numerous times. even once lived there! and not once heard a police siren! i went downtown, north county, west county, and south county chesterfield! i've even been to parts of the city and loved it! on my way back to texas we came across east stl and it looked horrible! very poverty stricken area which causes a high crime rate!

[tylernator]

@codybe2cool i know exactly what u mean!! Its alot more dense then people think once you get downtown..You really do feel like your in a big city! But at the same time you can be anywhere you want in 20 minutes or less...Go LOU!!

[jkjlkk]

I've also been there too. ang yeah. Nice feeling. :D

[Carolyn2312]

i was there 2 months ago, i'm from germany and i loved being up there!

[mrgameandwatch124]

i was there 3 days ago

[crylo2000]

The height doesn't bother me. I have been to the skydeck of the Willis Tower on the 103rd floor and the 60th floor of the JP Morgan Chase building in Houston. But, the arch looks like it is a little too cramped for me. I like having my space. I bet the view is nice.

[JASONROCK1983]

the music is scary

[groisbach19]

I like the arch in St. Louis tour. I was there beginning of March 2008.

I was on holiday in Sedalia MO USA.

Greetings from Austria Gitti

[iWoodcuttin]

in the very beginning its a tight squeeze if ur clastraphobic dont go ( i know i spelt it wrong) * I threw up twice* im also afraid of Heights. im 15mins away from St.louis arch

[TravisHuskey09]

@iWoodcuttin if your afraid of heights 630 feet above the ground isnt where you should be lol.

[southtxxbox]

I was there that morning....cold in st louis that week....20s-30s....so weird to find video of same day

[JwALLDJ]

hey former tour guide here. The arch can sway up to 9inches each direction. It is 630ft tall and wide and the trams are solid steel.

[Ne0nLiteZ]

do you live near oakville? i live in st louis although i havent been in the arch. i plan to go the next time i get the opportunity though haha

[broletariat1]

I work at the arch as a tour guide. The arch sways about half an inch in either direction at a constant wind speed of around 30 mph. That is enough to feel it swaying....

[vizzzzion]

thats awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[jlhva09]

"hersheyandshadow": I don't know what end of the arch I was on(I think it was the end closest to the Adams Mark Hotel), What I saw was a film about the building of the arch, not the riverfront in the 19th cemtury and it was on a very large theatre-like screen, not a television.

[hersheyandshadow]

South leg has projectors, North leg has TV's.

[hersheyandshadow]

In fact, I just got back from St. Louis, and I visited the arch, and went up and down the same wings! (up-south, down-north) And the film I saw was on the 19th century lifestyle of the St. Louis Riverfront, shown on large theater like screens!

[yankeelife26]

i live in stl

[jojohawk05]

i've been there

[LJersey80]

I went up the arch when I visited St Louis back in 2001 and it was amazing the arch is something you have to do everytime you go to St Louis

[Tonebo08]

yeah but its a long wait but its all whirth it i took a vacation there and indian beach a few months ago i live in onarga illinois

[66jtm45]

wonderful view-- but there are too many people crammed in that place.

[jaysonlaw98]

were u visting the Arch?

[JordanMaster22]

that thing looks creepy at night, especially with the flying saucer disguised as a taco place not too far away from it

[Cardinals2113]

a flying saucer?

Are you talking about the millennium hotel.

[JordanMaster22]

no there's a taco restaurant a couple blocks away from the arch and it looks a lot like a flying saucer

[duhhg80]

@JordanMaster22 del taco off grand

[Craz3dkels]

im going there tomorrow :D

[jlhva09]

I went there last September. Those elevator cars are soooo small! The film of how the arch was built was fascinating.

[hersheyandshadow]

The difference of the film is that on the north end, they show it on TV's, and on the south end, they use projectors! What did you see that film on? I saw it on a projector!

[jlhva09]

projectors.

[hersheyandshadow]

Um, the film about how the arch was built is shown on TV's, if your film was on a projector, yours would be about life on the St. Louis Riverfront in the 1800's.

[cabanaboi29]

i visited it last weekend--that was fun!

[cardinals2833]

is it true when the wind is blowing you can feel the arch move with it

[magglibbs]

yes

[hopeissocool]

no. not unless the wind is over 50 mph

[Vots]

There doesn't even need to be wind and you can feel it move. All tall structures like that, naturally sway or they would break. And if you stand still, even with little to no winds, you'll still feel the sway.

[cdicken1996]

the arck rules can you say hi for me

[stikmanfan]

I GAVE IT A 4 STAR ONLY CUZ I HATED the music

[soccerstar2795]

What time was this at it looks busy >? you know there were kids laying outside that window with the stairs in a circle it was pretty cool :)

[topgun1544]

I never relized there could be somany people up thire.

[jdfhgjhdf]

wow the view was breath taking i hope to visit the arch sometime in my life

[jordilov101]

acually I live in St.Louis MO and the Arch is kinda cool i guess but the elevator ride is one of the best parts i think!

[figget44]

me and my gf went for the first time yesterday, it was soo cool
