30 Rock I think has the best location of any of the decks. This one will have a thrill element that 30 Rock doesn't have. But the ESB deck is getting upgraded, there's still the matter of the One Vanderbilt deck that hasn't been revealed fully. And the Tower Fifth deck proposes a few things like a slide over the skyline as well as other thrills.

But there could be more elements to this one as well...

The Precipice: Urban adventurers will be able to strap on a harness and climb this lattice atop 30 Hudson Yards out in the freezing wind. The 101st floor also has a party room. If you have to ask what it costs, etc. The observatory, the fourth one in Manhattan, looks the Empire State Building square in the forehead. Ticket sales are expected to bring in tens of millions of dollars per year.


Related hasn't confirmed any of the climbing, but the stair-deck on the observation platform hasn't been talked about yet either.

That would make it very different from all of the other experiences on top of New York skyscrapers. Check out this vid....

And again this view...not something I would do, but there are thrill seekers out there.
