To get the slide's same disorientating effect for FREE, just a watch a Youtube clip of Carlton Cole trying to control a football.

We went up the Orbit last year and got tickets less than half price from Groupon. A good experience ... For that price. Not sure I am keen for the full price though !

Nothing beats going down a dry ski slope on a plastic 'For Sale' sign.

This is the price to go down the slide now.
I suspect that when they've run out of people willing to pay this price, they'll be a lower one (at least in real terms).

17 quid to go down a fucking slide. You can fly to Amsterdam for that.

"People are expected to hit speeds of up to 15 mph (24 kmph) down the slide"
The G-forces would be MASSIVE!

£17 for a 40 second ride? Is that right or is this thread getting confused with the escort one?

Move the thing across and have it as the way all players get onto the pitch.

anish kapoor wanted to make it four times the size to allow the observation deck to fit in with the design, but that was rejected, hence the mess.

Architecturely it is quirky and different to anything else.
It's the marmite thing, you either hate it or you like it.
I quite like it actually but they can stick their slide and their price.
I expect a few pissed up WH fans will have a pop pre or post match though.

If it was a fiver maybe, but £15 is a bit steep!!
And I'm no expert in architecture and building, but how the fuck does that cost 3.5 million to build?

Is West Ham United to blame for this monstrosity as well?
Sheffield Utd and Charlton Athletic fans are demanding an enquiry.
