as reserved-time tickets, multi-media exhibits, an
indoor viewing area and transparent safety glass
panels to allow completely unobstructed open-air
views encompassing some of the city's most
prominent landmarks, from the Chrysler Building to
the Statue of Liberty to all of Central Park and
the Hudson and East rivers. "We are thrilled to
be ranked among such world-class attractions as the
Grand Canyon here in the U.S. and, in Europe, the
Colosseum, the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower as top
global attractions by Trip Advisor," said Keith
Douglas, the Director of Marketing for Top of the
Rock. "Tens of thousands of visitors have
experienced New York City from a fresh and unique
vantage point on our Observation Deck. It is
even a greater honor to be included in this list
from Trip Advisor because it is all based on guest
feedback from those that have visited Top of the
Rock. There is no greater accomplishment or
compliment in the tourism industry than to be
recognized by your customers for delivering an
outstanding guests experience and true quality
service." Top of the Rock
features numerous exclusive attractions, including
two crystal installations by Swarovski; the Target
Breezeway, a space that showcases state-of-the-art
motion-detection technology; the sky shuttle
elevators, where participants observe their own
rapid acceleration through the shaft; and the
"Weather Room," a triple-height premier special
event space on the 67th floor. Visitors to the
Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center will also be
the first to experience a hand-held, interactive
tour guide device with a built in Global
Positioning System (GPS) created expressly for the
attraction. Dubbed "CityShow," a
first-of-its-kind, high-tech, audio/visual aid,
provides historic facts, anecdotes, photos, music
and descriptions of the many features of the
observation deck with a simple touch of a button.
CityShow also has a satellite detector &endash; so,
when a visitor is on the upper decks looking at the
view, the device will be able to determine where
they are facing and point out the various landmarks
and buildings encompassed in the unobstructed,
360-degree views. Top of the Rock is the only
attraction to offer this technology and is now
available in four languages: Italian, German,
French and Spanish. Top of the Rock is
