Stitch Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Does anyone have or know of a site that features pictures from the lower observation deck on the Eiffel Tower? I don't think I've ever seen what it looks like up there or the view from that point on the tower. To clarify, I am talking about the deck at the base of the tower, just above where the four legs of the tower meet, not the deck at the top you take the elevators to.

Imperial79 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 There was a picture posted on the Kings Island fan page on Facebook, called 'Sit on It' a few days ago. It was from the first level of the Eiffel Tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIghostguy Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 These are the best photos of the platform I know of: https://www.KICentral.com/photos/thumbnails.php?album=238 I also have photographs of the platform following the John Harter accident, but I won't release them for obvious reasons. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubbs727 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The random empty chair there is kind of creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I was the one who took those photos for KIC. I helped KI with some photos for the Wallenda walk in 2009 (I think) and it was appropriate to shot from there - so I got permission to shoot some stuff for KIC. The paint is flaking and there is bird poop everywhere, so it's kind of gross. Also the lighting at the time had wires that went everywhere, which would have been a trip hazard if it was open to the public. I actually spent some time on another 50' observation deck on another Eiffel Tower at another Kings park this summer working for a local fireworks company. It was so similar that it was eerie. (They are the same Intamin Paris Lattice Tower). One fun thing that was there was a painted over - but you could still see - Kodak "Photo Opportunity" photo. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 If you click on the "August 1972 & August 1973 TR" link in my signature, there are some pics taken from that deck BITD. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
