Vogel Fri, 20 Mar 2009 21:01:31 +0000 http://blog.tstc.org/?p=4066#comment-1102 Have you ever been on The View, a revolving restaurant on top of the Marriot Marquise Hotel at Times Square, NYC, or on a revolving platform for an amusement ride? I propose this same usage on a grandeur scale. The idea being the use of a circular rotating concourse going around the mall. This made for a pedestrian friendly level directly above the parking level making it easier to accommodate speed trips to a larger square foot structure. As in the moving model trains at the Gran Saloon, Pearl River, New York; There can be advertising signs placed on the back of the moving seats, giving the structure the look of motion from the outside. I proposed the idea to the Port Authority of NY & NJ. For use as an interior facing circular rotating concourse to be located around Ground Zero. To make this system move, I propose the use of maglev technology Have you ever been on The View, a revolving restaurant on top of the Marriot Marquise Hotel at Times Square, NYC, or on a revolving platform for an amusement ride?
