I picked the perfect time as it was still light but within 20 minutes the lights were on in the city. It was great. The Edge experience which costs an extra $12, is a 4.5 minute piece of fun. You line up, put on booties, but your bags away in a room then step in to the Edge. The Edge then moves out 3 metres. At this stage, the frost is on the glass. The glass is making a cracking noise. The sound effects of the cube moving is thunderous and even though I'm not nervous, my heart starts to beat and I wonder what I've got myself in to - the cube moved once to on the side so I thought oh if it rocks side to side, I'll definately be sick! But we get out, then the frosting comes off the glass and it's an amazing view. It's amazing anyway without doing the Edge experience, but I feel it's something you should do at least once. We then each pose for photos. Of course, I got a photo printed which is $15 with additional prints 10.00 and of course, it has a crazy pose. It was hands down the best ever night view I have seen in a city and i will definately go back every few months.
Even the lift to get up to the 88th floor was only 38 seconds. 9 meters every second. My ears popped twice on the way down and back up but you couldn't feel at all the lift jerking, the ride was good.
