> — Karl Villeneuve, December 2018

> "Be careful when purchasing tickets because this is not a fast pass but a voucher that you have to exchange for actual tickets at the counter. Despite this, the view and experience were enjoyable."
> — Natalia Marques, November 2018

> "Great online prices but keep in mind that you still need to collect your tickets at the counter. The observation deck is a great place to get a view of the city and the TILT experience adds a unique thrill."
> — Pratik Bhus, September 2018

> "Way too expensive for what it offers. You can find free vantage points elsewhere. Not worth paying for the elevator ride or the observation deck."
> — Tripster Customer, September 2018
