Base Jumpers are making plans.

But will they get past security?

Is it true that it will cost $75 to go for a walk?

I heard on the news that it's $50 to get into the park and $20 to go out on the walkway.

That's what was on the news last night and I thought I'd heard the $75 figure wrong. I did a search and found out it's $25 plus other fees (whatever the other fees are). No thanks, I'll keep my feet on solid ground.

Funny if no one went. But of course they will just to say they did it.

$8 per person, $25 per vehicle. Just went in August. I don't know nothin' about the sky walk, though.

I can't wait to go out on the end of it and start jumping up and down.

Oh, I'm dissappointed. I thought it was going to be a glass bridge "across" the canyon. Bummer.

That would be very interesting, but would also probably be an engineering feat.

If that's the case, then it's a bit expensive. It can be inferred from the article, though, that there is some fee (the developer giving it to the Amerindian tribe in return for a percentage of the profits).

Too expensive. The Grand Canyon is sort of pretty, but $70 for what almost should be free.....

P.S. Personally not much of a nature type, so that can have an effect on opinion.

"When that Skywalk came about it hit me like I was being stabbed," said Dolores Honga, a tribal elder.

Hyperbole, thy name is "Dolores!"--A thousand points to me for mixing two references in one statement.
