Do you know how many towers are there in this world? If you don't know then, same here. To be honest I only know two towers and that's the Sky tree in Tokyo and the Sky Tower in Auckland New Zealand. I want to find some things about the Sky tower and I will be telling them to you in the three paragraphs below.
The Sky Tower was built in 1994 and it opened on the 3 August 1997. A lot of people went to see the Sky Tower when it opened. The main shaft was built using climbing form work. The upper levels were constructed from composite materials, structural steel, precast concrete, and reinforced concrete, and the observation decks clad in aluminium with blue/green reflective glass.
You won't believe this but over or least then 1,150 people visit the Sky Tower per day (over 415,000 per year). It's amazing right! There are over 20 bars and restaurant in the Sky Tower a 700 seat theatre and a world-class casino. A lot of the people goes to the casino to play games and enjoy themselves but you have to pay for each game if you want to play, I don't know about other people but some people never win and they lose a lot of money, to me, I think that it's a waste of money.
The Sky Tower is now 25 years old, only 25! It is 328 meters (1,076 ft) tall, as measured from the ground level to the topmast, making it the tallest freestanding structure in the Southern Hemisphere. The Sky Tower is the 25th tallest tower in the world. Do you know how much the Sky Tower is cost including everything that is made of? Well...it is...$85 million New Zealand Dollars. Look at how much it cost. But it doesn't matter as long as people appreciate it.
I think I gave you enough information about the Sky Tower. It also helped me learn about other Towers in the world. It was really fun searching for information about the Sky Tower that I never knew about.
