LOS ANGELES — A glass slide suspended 1,000 feet above ground in Los Angeles opened to the public last on June 25.

Known as the Skyslide, it is positioned between the 70th and 69th floor of the U.S. Bank Tower in Downtown Los Angeles. The U.S. Bank Tower is the tallest building in California and the 12 tallest in the country.

The slide itself is 45-feet long and 4 feet wide. It is made of 1.25 inch-thick three-ply glass. It was airlifted to the top of the building by helicopter before it was fixed into position using a complex pulley system.

The slide is said to be able to resist hurricane-force winds up to 110 miles per hour and strong enough to hang two blue whales.

“The Skyslide boasts a safe, thrilling experience unlike any other in the world. Guests of all ages will have the opportunity to transform their view of Los Angeles as they glide down, gazing at unparalleled views of the city,” Lucy Rumantir, President & Chief Executive Officer of OUE Americas said in a statement.

The current price for one adult to enter the viewing deck and one ride on the Skyslide is $33.
