Well told, thanks. I was up there in the middle '80s, and there was no hassle at all. No lines, no security to speak of, maybe a guy in a uniform sitting at a desk. I don't think we even had to buy tickets.

The only disappointment was it was kinda rainy, so we couldn't go outside onto the deck. But it was pretty much floor to ceiling glass, so we could still see out over the city. There was a bank of pay phones up there at the time, so it was pretty cool to be able to call my mom from the top of the Empire State Building.

Hmmm. Put those back in, add a cell phone jammer to force their use and charge $20 to make a 2 minute phone call.
