After getting the tickets, staff will ask if you've been here before. If not, they'll recommend the best route to follow. There's a 45-degree railway and two scenic cable cars. Although one is said to have a glass floor, it's actually just a narrow strip in the middle - not the entire floor - so those afraid of heights can relax. One uncle in our group was too scared to ride when he heard about the glass floor.
