[QUOTE="hark, post: 371747, member: 13196"] It's definitely open. In fact, they invested a lot of money to repair the hydraulics in the elevator. The first time I went (October 6th), I had to climb the stairs as the elevator was closed. It was repaired but needed to be inspected. Before I went up, I kept wondering why people weren't staying up top for very long. When I reached the top, I was very dismayed to find a swarm of hornets buzzing just a few feet above my head! :eek: I made a quick exit as well. ;) When I returned last week, I rode the elevator. I didn't even feel the elevator move when I rode it so they did a really good job! Jake, the tower always closes for the winter, but offhand I don't know the date. Driving up and down the hill is the only time I stick my SUV into 1st gear--that drive is steep especially going up. On the way down, it isn't as steep, but using 1st gear keeps me from riding my brakes. [/QUOTE]
