Through the touch-screen, you can zoom in close (which is good to know! Watch what you’re doing when you’re in downtown Dallas! You never know who’s watching from above!) The touch-screen also allows you to take a tour of Dallas with the interactive maps. If you’d rather stay inside, you can still get up close to the unsuspecting people and birds through one of the many high-definition cameras on the touch-screen interface, all live during the Geo-Deck’s operating hours. If you looked through the high-powered telescopes (outside), you could see these attractions much closer, watching birds and people as they pass by. Since it was a rather clear day, we saw AT&T Stadium, the Trinity River, the sky-line of Fort Worth and Medieval Times. I was excited to go up to the Geo-Deck and my children were, too! We soon found out the observation deck would allow us to view landscapes from an entirely new perspective. Eventually, a police cruiser with a public-address system was dispatched to Stemmons Freeway to admonish drivers to keep moving. Police and fire switchboards were overloaded for 15 minutes. But within an hour and a half of the opening, traffic on highways leading to downtown came to a halt. Local police officials were asked if the lighted ball would distract motorists.
