Anybody been on the Grand Canyon Skywalk?

Planning a trip and was wondering your experience? I am not worried about price just the thrill/not of it. Rode the rollercoaster at Stratosphere and loved the "suspended animation" of it!

The reports when it first opened were very, very negative. If you like rollercoasters, you may like the bus ride to get out to it. Can't take your camera out on it either. You DO know where it is located, don't you? I wouldn't drive that far away for such a dud experience. In fact, I don't remember one positive post about it.

My favorite was the post about a European family who drove hours to get to it to learn that they were closing it early that day - just because they were tired of working that day and wanted to go home early

One of the two biggest tourist traps in Arizona (the other is the train from Williams to the Grand Canyon).

Skip it and you won't miss a thing.

Can't take my camera! What is the purpose of it if you can't take your camera? My photographic mind is getting worse with age and I just don't see going out on it without a camera! Oh well I'll put this sight off for the time being. Thanks guys!

What is the purpose of it if you can't take your camera?

The purpose is to transfer seventy five of your hard earned dollars from your pocket to theirs.
