Visitors could look out over the fair as they rode in one of two "Sky Streak" glass-inclosed (sic) elevators to the observation decks for even more spectacular views.
The three observations towers rise 60 feet, 150 feet, and 226 feet making them the tallest structures in the fair. Vending machines offered snacks on the upper levels while the lower deck served as a hospitality lounge for dignitaries.
