Not very tall for an observation tower, but it looks okay.

I agree. It's located on a high location of city, but it could better it was higher.

i'd give it an 6.5

considering the time it was built and the area, it's pretty high, it's beautiful too...however, looks a lil unsfafe, the pic with the stairs on the side shows that...

i like the top its nice...

Also, there's other buildings around the world that look like this, just too common by now...

no, it's a lollypop.

It doesn't need to be taller because the landscape helps it - it is already on highground, there are many taller buildings in the city but it's head is still above all of those. So you can see the entire city from the top (which rotates at 1 turn/hour).

I think I would have liked it more if the top was not a hemisphere, but I'm ok with "epcot center on a stick".

When I was young my daddy convinced me that it was a huge microfone:D
But know I think how could he convince me :D
I saw this building a lot times but unfortunately i couldn't see it from the inside. hopefully this year..
If the building was higher then it would be awesome!
