2. Called TILT, the attraction uses hydraulic lifts to move the full-length windows forward at a 33-degree angle so people can get a proper bird’s eye view of the city 1,000ft below.
3. The tilting windows have metal bars on each side, which you grab hold of as the glass begins to move outwards.

Eight people will be able to lean against the glass at one time.
5. Nichole Williamson, the general manager of 360 Chicago, the new name for the old John Hancock Observatory, said:
The movement in and out of the building is very controlled. We want it to be memorable and thrilling, but we don’t want to terrify anybody.
6. Alia Kingsbury, who visited the attraction on a school trip, told AP she was just happy she didn’t wet herself.
