What is the scariest tourist attraction you have ever been to?

Camelot

I could've used a Xanax at the Jungfraujoch. I felt for sure I was going to slip and fall to my death down the glacier.

Skylon tower. I’m petrified of heights. I went all the way to the back to be away from the door then it wound up being a glass elevator. It took me ages to stop shaking but once seated I actually enjoyed the meal and the views.

The Ledge at Willis Tower. I hated it, you can feel the building sway and it’s very unnerving.

Two different countries, two different attractions attempting to lick my fear of heights:
La Sagrada Familia and Uetliberg.

They licked me.

The bus ride up to the Peak in Hong Kong when I looked out the window of the bus and the wheels of the bus were on the very edge of the mountain side. All you could see was straight down. Thank goodness it was foggy, and I couldn't see far.

Oh my goodness, I used to work at the Skylon Tower! Great memories! And yeah, the glass elevators made some people queasy, much like the (relatively) nearby CN Tower lol.

I didn’t realize it was moving at first. I set my purse on the ledge and the server said unless I didn’t want to see it for an hour to get it off of there. Once I managed that one I did the one in Seattle but I don’t feel like I need to go back or anything.

To quote someone I follow on Instagram, "What's spookier than Catholicism? Nothing."

I am Catholic, don't come at me.

Mine sounds very mild compared to the others.
Looking over the edge at Grant Canyon! I am not good with heights and felt like I would fall in. I was surprised you could just walk up to the edge anywhere and it would be so easy to slip and fall in, LOL. Of course it isn't fenced in, It's the Grand Canyon, LOL

Shoes on the Danube Bank in Budapest.

Not sure if it's a tourist attraction per se, but Angels Landing at Zion National Park. The scary part is being at the top and accidentally looking down.
