Most likely will be in the city next week taking a tour of the site before I ship back off....anyone know if you are allowed to go to the World Center Hotel's roof while not a guest at the hotel? Seems like a fantastic vantage point and I would like to be able to get up there if possible...

Is anyone here talented enough to do one of those construction relation diagrams. I know there are a couple of forumers who do those diagrams that show where it is currently, overlayed an image of the completed structure.

The reason i ask is that it is hard from these pictures to appreciate how big it is and how far it has to go.

Thanks in advance to anyone with the ability to do this.

no you have to be a hotel guest the elevators will not go up without a key card. and your not allowed on the terrace unless you buy something. But it is quite amazing to look over all the construction.

Still about 1,000 feet to go to the roof, and further 408ft for the spire.

i must say though that once tower 1v2 arrives at th3 40th floor it will then truly be a part of the New York City skyline.

I love this! I would like to see the red move up noticeably, a little bit, every day.

Love the way the tower already looms, along with 7 WTC. And the other towers in the photos won't be nearly as tall.

It's not just you, that thing already looks like a full sized office building )

I can only imagine how majestic it'll look in the NY skyline.
