Wasn't overly impressed. The iPad add on was a waste of money. We were at the top of the original WTC and it was much more impressive.

The rocket elevator was so smooth I didn't have a chance to get dizzy:) And although it was a rainy day, the storm subsided enough to let see well into the other burroughs. Breathtaking and awesome are the two words I'd use to describe the views and overall experience.
