“Rain or shine. Or snow. It’s was 10 degrees and limited visibility, the closed the upper most deck, likely due to wind. The beam experience is misleading, says a photo is included, however it’s $75 additional. The whole thing is awesome, but ticketing and add one add up. No refunds AT ALL due to weather…”
