How would you like to go down a transparent slide that’s mounted over 1,000 feet in the air? If that sounds like your thing, then you’ll definitely want to check out the new Skyslide that’s being built on the side of the U.S. Bank Tower in Los Angeles. Per The Los Angeles Times, the slide will begin on the building’s 70th floor and will take riders down to its 69th floor. While this doesn’t seem like much of a drop, the slide itself is about 45 feet in length and will give you a bird’s eye view of the entire city on your way down.
