The London Olympic Tower - Your Thoughts

[Loukas]

Now.. I'm not to keen on it tbh.. but it's got the go ahead.

It is called 'The ArcelorMittalOrbit' It will be 375 feet high -that's 72 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty. It will sit next to the Olympic Stadium

My first thoughts exactly. lol
It might look better when it's built? haha

[GypsyGoth]

I love it, it looks kinda crazy.

[Smithy]

The Cloud looks better tbh Claudia

[setanta]

It looks like an eyesore to me, and what's with the red?

[ILoveTRW]

everyone was hating on the london eye before they built that
amd look where it is now, almost every major city in the uk has its own wheel

Lets hope the price of scrap metal holds up......

I think it's going to be a resturant at the top which is fair enough but for all of that money, for a *****ing resturant i mean come on.. It seems kinda silly!

who the hell would actually walk around that many spirals in both designs :\

LOL. Oh my, good point. I would have thought they would have a lift?

[setanta]

This is modern art just going too far. Hideous looking thing that will never stand the test of time. It's already an eyesore to me and it hasn't even been built yet.

[GypsyGoth]

I bet it turns out to be an april fools joke.

[Shasown]

[bronaaaa]

[Niamh.]

I thought it was a rollercoaster too haha, I thought there's no way I'd go on that!!

And yeah the other one is waaaaaaaay nicer

[CaraRawr]

i don't like it, the cloud is way way better <3

[30stone]

What were the other options?

[sooty]

If I saw this picture today, definitely I would have thought this was for April Fool.

It looks like one we would see it at breaker's yard.
But I like the idea about a restaurant at the top.
As ILoveDC said, I hope we would like it eventually.

But I still do not like it,,,,.

Might be worth a visit during the games to get a free view of the events inside the stadium.
