Eiffel Tower Climb?

[DonHelbig]

Kings Island and Six Flags should bring in Alex Honnold to climb the Eiffel Tower. It would be a spectacle—up there with the Wallenda skywalks and Knievel jumps.

Same things that were said and discussed for the Wallenda skywalks and Knievel jumps. If the park, company and individual wanted to do it, they could make it happen.

While I imagine it would be super cool. I think his portfolio kind of dwarfs climbing the Kings Island Eiffel Tower. Now I could see him climbing the real one. But if they offered enough money I could see that he would be interested, but even then that does put more liability on the park. But it would be cool to see.

I agree this would be cool but I fear the event of times past would be brought up again and reflect negatively on the park. I think we should kee stories about people climbling the tower out of the media.

Park and chain are self-insured.

They get brought up regardless.
