#AVATAR ABRIDGE MANUAL#

So what is the attraction to such a dizzying attraction?

I think my concern with crossing these bridges would not be because they have glass bottoms but how stable the supporting cables are, for instance, when it gets windy. (The current title-holder is the 233-meter Macau Tower.) If you weren't scared enough, the Zhangjiajie bridge will offer the highest bungee jump in the world. It extends 115 feet from a cliff and is 918 feet above ground. The Glacier Skywalk in Alberta, Canada, which opened last year, is 400 meters long. 'Visitors of the Grand Canyon Skywalk can walk over the western rim of the Grand Canyon on a clear, glass-floored structure built to withstand over 71 million pounds of weight, and experience the sensation of seeing the canyon fall straight away below their feet,' the attraction's website says. It withstood the pounding.Īs for how the new bridge stacks up with some in North America, the Grand Canyon Skywalk in Arizona is 69 feet long and720 feet above the canyon's bottom. There are three other glass bridges in the Tianmen Mountains in the Zhangjiajie scenic area - including the 'heaven seeking avenue', which takes hairpin turns around cliffs.īefore the bridge opened, 20 volunteers were given the chance to swing sledgehammers at the glass bottom to test its sturdiness. The mountain range is said to have inspired James Cameron's 2009 film Avatar.Ī maximum of 8,000 visitors (paying $20 apiece) are allowed to traverse the bridge daily, which is about 20 feet wide, and 600 are allowed on at one time. Spanning a quarter-mile across Zhangjiajie Canyon, it is 984 feet high and features 99 panes of three-layered glass (each layer 1.9 inches thick) as its walkway.ĭesigned by Israeli architect Haim Dotan and built by China Construction Group, the bridge is 430 meters (1,400 feet) long and is wedged between two mountain cliffs in Zhangjiajie park. The highest and longest glass-bottomed bridge in the world opened in Hunan province on Aug 20. XinhuaĬhina has a thing for glass-bottom footbridges, which seem to be gleefully constructed with the intention of frightening visitors while at the same time reassuring them all is well. 'He's.Tourists walk on the glass bridge spanning Zhangjiajie Canyon, in Central China's Hunan province, on Aug 20.'Oh man, can you at least roll me over so I can pretend you're fighting?' 'Zip it, Zuko!'.You chase some guy halfway across the region, and not only does he reject you, but it turns out: he's gay?! Sokka: one, Katara: negative five! (Iroh: 5000)' The first girl my age I ever meet, I get a kiss like 'that'. 'With the power of crossdressing, I will be unstoppable!'.It should be a lot easier to put it there without any BALLS!'

The scenes between Zuko and Zhao in episode 2, especially the X-Men part and 'yeah, you go ahead and run with your tail between your legs.PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the 'Trope Workshop' found on the 'Troper Tools' menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the 'fair use' licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
