Went with a group and arrived to discover a queue.......... the first of a very very long queue, but really seven different queues!
Standing outside the building, a 100 metres from the entrance we began the “drag”.
Once inside the building the queue then snaked around the ground floor before reaching a lengthy staircase. At this point, I have some mobility limitations, I wanted to give up, however, an attendant spotted my walking stick and standing difficulties and ushered a few of us to a lift which circumvented the staircase. What relief. However, we only reached another queue, security and the whole rigamarole involved. Then another queue for the first lift. We made it........ though with diminished enthusiasm.
A slower lift than the Observatory lift (where we only queued through security), but we made a viewpoint.....sort of! The older building had smaller window viewpoints, though the views were fascinating.
Then to the Top..... oh wait, another 30 minute queue!
At this point I sought to question an attendant for assistance only to meet initially with a failure to note my presence then with blatant rudeness.
There was no way I could get to the top.
With the amount we had paid we had thought we had secured “priority” entrance..... but no. Do check.
Frustrated and a little angry and with most of the group returned to ground level (two did make the top). Our guide agreed it was a worthless visit.
What a shambles.
Would not advise anyone to visit the building.
