Do you trust in today’s technology?
What you are seeing is the
           Stratosphere.

This is a hotel of the city of Las Vegas.


  Las Vegas is full of hotels and
   casinos with the most exotic
       architectural forms.




      But give it another look!


        Do you see anything
           extraordinary?
Closer.......




The Tower is 350 meters high,
  equivalent to 110 floors.
It’s a panoramic tower!




 We see below, Brasil Telecom
Tower in the city of Curitiba. It is
        110 meters tall.
But the tower that we see here is
           special...



What strange thing is that at the
     top of the building?
YES – you are right!




An amusement park with four
of those "toys" normally found
    in parks on the ground?
... It is a rollercoaster -- at the top of the tower!
A second “fun ride" is an elevator,
 which rises to the top and then
descends, making people feel the
   effect of up to four times the
        gravitational force!
The other "fun ride"
is sort of a corridor.



 It “simulates” as if
it’s going to go into
    space…..but it
   stops at the last
       minute.
And now the last one…..
           People sit on the chairs and see what happens....
              The whole unit begins to rotate at high speed.
The effect of the centrifugal force causes the mechanism to start to open
                                  up and...
Catch the speed!
It circles at 40 MPH at a 3G force!!!
