The downtown Los Angeles skyline is about to get a whole lot more exciting – and possibly a little scary for anyone afraid of heights.

The US Bank Tower is the tallest tower on the west coast, and it will soon allow fearless souls to slide down a glass chute 1,000 feet above the ground.

The owners of the U.S. Bank building unveiled plans Tuesday to build a glass-bottom and glass-sided slide jutting out from the side of the building – 70 stories high.

The end of the 36-foot-long slide will bring you to an observation deck, offering panoramic views of the city.

The observation deck and slide are part of a $50 million renovation project at the skyscraper.

It’s set to open in June. Aside from the observation decks on the 54th, 69th, ad 70th floor, the 71st floor will be transformed into a restaurant.

It will cost $25 for a ticket to visit the new complex, which is expected to have views spanning the San Fernando Valley to Santa Catalina Island.
