Skyslide, which sits nearly 1,000-feet above Downtown Los Angeles, on the 73-floor of the U.S. Bank Tower, opened to the public on Saturday.

“Tickets to the observation deck cost $25 per person. It is another $8 for anyone wanting to go on the slide. The U.S. Bank Tower was 80 percent full when it opened it 1989, however was barely half-full when OUE bought it three years ago for $367.5million. The slide and observation deck are part of a $50million makeover for the U.S. Bank Tower,” according to The Daily Mail.
