The
Edge is another attraction created by Zalman
Silbers’ Skyline Multimedia Entertainment
that is found within the very upper reaches of the
Eureka Tower. Structurally and visually, it is a
glass cube that projects three meters out from the
building, leaving all occupants suspended almost
300 meters above the ground.
The
Eureka Tower
website proclaimed the following in anticipation
of The
Edge’s grand opening.
“When
the Skydeck observation deck at Eureka Tower opens
in Melbourne's Southgate precinct on May 15, visitors
will be able to catch a lift that propels them at
breathtaking speed to Level 88 and take in the 360-degree
views of Melbourne and surrounds from the highest
public vantage point in Australia.
But there's an even bigger thrill waiting at the
top of Eureka, one that will truly take you to The
Edge.
Tourists
will be shepherded into an opaque box that's cantilevered
90 degrees from the Skydeck observation level.
The
frosted glass will then suddenly turn clear, creating
the impression you're suspended in mid air. It's
a truly thrilling experience.”
