I had to queue for two hours before being let inside, then waited another half hour before getting on the helicopter. All the waiting kind of ruined the experience.

Fantastic views, a little bit scary if you are not sure of heights but its all over so quickly there isn't really time to worry.

The helicopter ride gave an amazing view of the city and I would definitely recommend that anyone take it at night to see the city lit up. Amazing!!
