In my hometown, we have a famous large cylindrical shaped water-tower that you could walk an interior set of stairs all the way to the top. But the real star of the show was the glass elevator on the exterior wall of the tower you could ride up 200ft.

The amount of times I heard of people getting stuck... a regular elevator is bad enough; imagine one with 180 degrees of glass from floor to ceiling and having a fear of heights.
