“Dive & Walk” Experience
“Dive & Walk” consists of two parts:
- Walk: Experience hanging outside the 26-meter mid-level observation deck while wearing a safety harness.
- Dive: Jump from about 40 meters down to the 14-meter mid-level observation deck.
The bridge that connects the EV Building to the seismic isolation tower is supported by the EV Building and structurally separated from the seismic isolation tower. This design ensures safety even during earthquakes or other disasters.
Guests will climb the stairs of the EV Building, cross the seismic isolation bridge from the top floor, and proceed to the tower, where they can enjoy the attraction while taking in the panoramic view of Osaka.
TOWER SLIDER Experience
On the third floor of the observation deck of the Tsutenkaku Tower, there is a body-slide approximately 22 meters above the ground.
The slide winds around the outer circumference of the EV Tower, and it takes about 10 seconds to slide to basement level.
The slide has a slope of approximately 30 degrees and is 60 meters long.
The entrance at the top is designed with an anti-seismic structure using columns both above and below, ensuring safe use even during earthquakes or other disasters.
The ramp of the slide features a safe tubular shape, while the ceiling is made of weather
resistant stainless steel pipes and transparent, heat-insulating polycarbonate panels, allowing visitors to look up at the Tsutenkaku Tower while sliding.
