Diagonal elevator ride in the St Louis Gateway arch

This is the strangest elevator ride you will ever take in the world. This elevator actually goes at a diagonal angle up a 633' tall arch. It's built like a train but works like an elevator. The elevator it self is only about 4' by 4' by 4' in size and can hold up to five people of normal size smooshed into each other. You actually watch your own accent and decent.

It is not strange. Well, it kinda is. to you folks that dont live in st. louis, here's a fact. The only reason it goes up then over is because of its shape. Also, for the kids, I have been up there. Riding up and down its kinda like an amusment park ride.

I last went on this when I was about 10 years old. I am now 42 and am going tomorrow, 11/14/09. This video is exactly how I remember it way back when. I remember being in a tiny shell and this helps me to remember. Ugh, I remember not really enjoying this experience. Then being at the top, I remember being able to feel the arch moving in the wind. I will be glad when it's over, IF we get up there tomorrow. At least I can say I did it once!!
