If you're afraid of heights, you should skip this video right now. Chinese builders unveiled at 262-foot-long glass skywalk at a theme park in Chongqing district of Wansheng, and it looks absolutely terrifying. The glass-bottomed protrusion extends over a scenic river valley and tourists can look down to see a dizzying drop of about a thousand feet, right below them. Tens of thousands of thrill-seeking tourists waited for their chance to feel the stomach churning sensation for the opening of the V-shaped glass walkway on April 1, just a few days before Ching Ming Festival holiday, and it was definitely no joke. The skywalk is so huge that the managing company has applied to the Guinness World record, hoping to win the title of the longest glass skywalk in the world.
