Yeah, and they only use half of it because the top part shakes to much in the wind.
So why do they still want to build higher if half the tower is useless?

REALLY? I had no idea that was being built there. Now I am excited because I live in Virginia and that seems like a fun roller coaster. I also live close to Kings Dominion.
