    I'm not saying that there will be a viewing area on the roof, but it certainly would be feasible judging by what's there at the moment.

    Money like that makes bean counters sit up and take notice.

    There would be no safety issues if the roof were specifically designed to accommodate guests.

    "And there's a buck to be made - charge people fifty bucks a head and give them a coke and a cupcake."

    Exactly.

    Well, there still could be if it's still considered a construction zone. It's possible they designed it for eventual accommodation of guests, but it's not yet ready for that.

    They'd be crazy not do put something up there. I have seen them sit celebrities and VIPs on the rooftop of the Plaza Inn for fireworks, so they know there is a need for something like this.

    It's total conjecture, but it does seem like about the only place to have SEATING as opposed to standing. Assuming WOC is a hit, they could charge a premium for it, too, not unlike the F! seating. Of course, they'd have to add some sort of access to the roof.

    Well of course. I meant when the building is finished. Not now. LOL.
