Top 5 World's Scariest Bridges (is it that scary!!! )
1. Crazy Curves: Langkawi Sky Bridge, Kedah, Malaysia
This incredibly unique curved pedestrian cable bridge off of Pulau Langkawi island's Gunung Mat Chinchang peak stretches about 400 feet and stunningly sits more than 2,200 feet above sea level. With breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea and nearby islands, this engineering marvel is an acrophobe's nightmare.
2. Forest Gulp: Capilano Suspension Bridge, North Vancouver, British Columbia
Beautifully set across a canyon spanning a lush forest of fir trees, this suspension bridge is also a spine-chilling 450-feet long and 230-feet high over North Vancouver's Capilano River. The bridge is crossed by nearly one million travelers every year, and countless who just wish they decided not to look down.
3. Cope-on-a-Rope: Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Antrim, North Ireland
Once used by local fisherman to check their salmon nets by hanging them off the side of the bridge, this gorgeous yet intimidating 60-foot long and nearly 100-foot high rope bridge connects picturesque Carrick Island to the mainland. Not for the faint of heart, the challenge of crossing the bridge, as well as amazing views of Scotland and Rathlin Island, draws hundreds of thousands of intrepid visitors a year.
4. Terrifying Trift: Trift Bridge, Gadmen, Switzerland
Originally built by a power company to allow access to the Trift Glacier below and set in the mountains of the Bernese Oberland, the Trift Bridge is reported to be among the longest pedestrian suspension bridges in the world, at approximately 550 feet in length. As the bridge also stands more than 300 feet above the Triftsee Lake, don't mistake those yelps for yodels.
5. Royal Flushed: Royal Gorge Bridge, Canon City, Colorado
Proclaimed as the highest suspension bridge in the world, this attraction looms more than 1,000 feet above the Arkansas River, and is suspended from towers 150 feet high above it in the Grand Canyon. The more than 1,200 foot long wood-planked walkway provides a uniquely gorgeous view of the canyon, but chills come with the package.
"These striking bridges serve more than just practical purposes and are actually tourist attractions in their own right," said Christine Petersen, chief marketing officer for TripAdvisor. "But beware to those with a fear of heights, as these staggering man-made monoliths can literally leave travelers breathless."
