Bob, the bottom of the escalator in the picture going to the boat is at least 20 feet lower than the restaurant and event center area.
If it reaches the top of the escalator everyone on each side of the river would need to get on the ark.
Don't forget, the walkway over the road is pretty damn high and that's the level of everything
I had the wrong escalator. Thank goodness it isn't up to the ice cream shop.
If it's only the landing area, I'm guessing they'll be open again in less than a month.
