We visited 2 weeks ago and I must say the reveal was a real WOW moment that we will never forget. The way the music builds up it really makes a magical moment before you get that amazing view. It's something none of the other decks gave us because you get little glimpses ahead of getting outside. Also I just wanted to add that although we went into the Oculus 3 times, I never realised that One World was perfectly framed in the spine so when we come back we'll have to pay another visit and get a picture.
Great video. Just one small omission: You didn't mention the island next to the Statue of Liberty. After the immigrants sailed into the harbor they passed the statue, then went to Ellis Island.
Yeah, I was visiting right after it re-opened, so people still weren't traveling or seeing the sights. It's much busier now! Meghan Markle and Prince just visited yesterday! In general, with any observatory, the earlier you go, the better for avoiding crowds.
Since years i know that it is no longer the tallest in west. Its only a wrong marketing way to make it stand out more, Wikipedia should fix this. Actually it never even was the tallest in USA the Sears always stood above it.
TECHNICALLY - the WILLIS Tower is still shorter because they DO count the spire on top of One World. Central Park Tower has since surpasses Willis Tower. One World, do to it's SPIRE (which is NOT an antennae...very important when it comes to counting the height) beats out Central Park Tower. LEGENDS TOWER is being build to surpass One World, and will become the tallest building in the US if completes, and sixth tallest in the world.
IMHO, One World is overrated. I prefer open-air observation decks. I didn't like the OD deck in the towers, either. The window tint (and dirt) at One World inhibits decent photography. You have to use a polarizer to shoot through glass.
Yeah, it can be a little tricky to shoot content, but it also depends on your reason for visiting. A lot of people want to learn about the history, enjoy the views, and experience NYC rising like a Phoenix from the ashes. I worked there for years, and most people were enjoying being present in the moment.:-) of course, if your main goal is photography, other decks may be better. Curious about your thoughts on summit since a lot of that is indoors as well.
@@TheMeganDaily I no longer live in NYC but visit often (in fact, this coming week) I haven't yet visited summit but will while I'm there. And I agree, not everyone visits observatories to shoot content. I'm guessing observatories, indoor and outdoor, use glass now, but at least the glass at TOTR and Edge is transparant enough to photograph/video through. I haven't been to to ESB observatory since the 80s, so have no idea what it's like now.
@@TheMeganDaily I just returned from a weeklong trip to the City. I did visit Summit, but wasn't particuarly impressed. Top of the Rock remains my favorite observation deck. I considered doing City Climb at the Edge, but chickened out.
Love the energy everytime
I love your energy
Wow that view is gorgeous!
I was in New York and your videos helped me organize a lot.
Thank you Megan!!!

Oh man, I’ve been trying to see what the inside of the lobby of the modern World Trade Center looked like for years now, thanks a lot!
Best video ever! And I'm not JUST saying that because I'm in it, although that is part of it.
Great job Megan! You definitely create a mood to visit. Thanks💃❤Keep 'em coming!
HOLY VIEWS - that is stunning!
It really is. I haven't been to the EDGE yet - but I actually like the view from One World better than any other NYC observatory I've been to!
I miss working here! This is one of the best parts of the tour!!!
You are a CHAMP!
I would love to visit here

Personally this is my favourite viewing gallery great elevators great show lines are always way shorter then empire state or TOTR
What is that all wood looking building near the jenga building?
What time were you there? No other visitors really?

I feel like you missed an opportunity to say the W was an M pointing to you because you're Megan.

Annoying
