SkyPod Elevators: NYC Time‑Lapse Ascent

SkyPod elevators are your cinematic lift to the top — a swift ascent wrapped in a 47‑second time‑lapse of New York becoming New York.

What You'll See

• A skyline time‑lapse from the 1500s through today.
• Rivers, bridges, and skyscrapers layering in real time.
• A sense of the city’s speed and resilience before emerging at altitude.

Where to Stand

• Corners give the widest viewing angle; leave space for others.
• Stabilize your camera or phone — the ride is smooth but quick.

Watch It Twice

• First ride: watch for the story arc.
• Second ride: track specific landmarks and river edges.

Accessibility Notes

• Step‑free access with staff on hand to assist.
• The ride is brief and smooth; sensitive riders may prefer focusing on the screen horizon.

Fun: Kids love spotting bridges — call out Brooklyn and Manhattan!
