This New NYC Experience Recreates an Iconic 1930s Photo — Taking You 800 Feet in the Air and Rotating You Over the City

The Rockefeller Center just revealed a great new attraction that flashes back to a photo from 1932. In the picture, construction workers are chilling on a tall building, having lunch while building 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Now, people can relive that moment by getting on a recreated beam on the 69th floor at the Top of the Rock Observation Deck. This new beam lifts people 12 feet above the regular observation deck.

Anyone Can Recreate the Beam Photo

Once people get on the beam and up in the air, it starts to spin around, giving an awesome view of the city from more than 800 feet up. It’s a chance to get a super unique photo, just like the famous one everyone knows.

The folks who own Rockefeller Center say this new attraction, called “The Beam,” is a big part of their plan to make the observation deck even cooler. The deck is famous for its awesome views of the city’s most famous spots. After checking out the deck, visitors can explore the rest of Rockefeller Center, which they say has been updated to be authentic and just as attractive as when it was first built almost 100 years ago.

Rockefeller Center With New Attractions

Visitors have to pay $25 to try out the Beam on top of the regular ticket for the Top of the Rock. This deal includes the experience and a digital photo. The regular ticket prices range from $40 to $55 for adults. The company is also planning to launch something else called the Sky Lift next year, where people will go up 30 feet above the 70th floor on a glass platform. It will certainly be a thrilling experience.

Besides the Top of the Rock stuff, there’s lots to do around the Rockefeller Center in New York City. They’ve got a famous ice rink, and there’s a huge Christmas tree with 50,000 colorful LED lights that stays lit until 10 p.m. on January 13.
