I waited nearly 2 hours to visit the new skydeck atop One World Trade - and it was worth every minute

Thousands of New York City locals and tourists flooded One World Trade Center last Friday for the public opening of One World Observatory.

The line to soak in the panoramic views was like waiting to ride Space Mountain at Disney World.

But once you reach the top and remember what used to stand tall in the observatory's place, you forget about the hour or two it took to get there.
