The experience was satisfactory, the line to go up was very smooth and we did not have to wait long in the cold. There were thorough checks in the bag ticket even with the metal detector, so I felt safe. There were 25 of us in the cabin and I was lucky because all the people who were there offered to relieve themselves to give everyone a chance to see the breathtaking view! Overall I am satisfied with the experience and would recommend it to everyone!
