Michael Rock’s Elevator Ride To The Top Of The Eiffel Tower

Have you ever wondered what it was like to ride an elevator to the top of the Eiffel Tower?  I did it a few days ago and uploaded my video to Fun 107's YouTube channel.

While my mother and I were visiting Paris last week, we were lucky enough to have lunch at the Eiffel Tower.  The tower has three levels.  The first level, which, make no mistake about it, is VERY, VERY high off of the ground at 172 feet.  The second level is 377 feet off of the ground, and the third level is a feet numbing 905 feet from the ground.

We took the elevator up to the first floor, ate lunch, then used the stairs to get up to the second level.  I'm not going to lie.  I was mildly nervous on the second floor.  I didn't get incredibly close to the edge.  I wasn't very disappointed when I was told that the only way to get to the third and final level on the Eiffel Tower was to go all the way back down to the ground level and buy a special ticket that would bring you all the way to the top.  I was satisfied with my visit to one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world.  How do you think you'd handle a trip to the Eiffel Tower?  Watch my video and see.
