?This tower is one of the well-known landmarks of the area and was built in 1975. The enclosed 'cab' holds 55 people and makes 3 rotations. The tower's full height is 330 feet & weighs 33 tons. It was designed by Intamin, Zurich, Switzerland.
The convex windows make this tower very unusual - perhaps a bit UFO-like...especially at night!
