This is my wife Beth taking our GoPro Hero 3 (Silver) up to the top of the Statue of Liberty Crown. We were only able to get one ticket to go up even though we ordered 4 months in advance so she went because my laziness far outweighs my patriotism.
She thought I would be able to see and hear her using the GoPro iPhone app but it cut off almost immediately after going up the first flight of stairs... That's why she's talking most of the way up. This video was taken Monday, August 26th, 2013. - ตลก
POV: you just came from Jared Owens “whats inside the Statue of Liberty” video 😏
Yeahh
Yesssss
Yes
🐐🐐
HOW DID U KNOW LMFAOOO
They should make a slide down instead of stairs. ;)
vincevega0 You're pretty much limited to NYC hot dogs at the bottom!
vincevega0 That's hilarious lol
Lmbo!
Lmao
If I went down the slide I'd be dead by the time I'd get down.
Thank you for posting this! I did this very climb as a grade schooler many many years ago, I'm 73 now! I love seeing the stairs, they WERE very tiny I can attest to that. I was going to ride the elevator up but my little brother, being a brat like they can be, dared me to go up the stairs, and of course I did! It was not a busy tourist day so we were not sandwiched in between tourists, etc. We were visiting NYC from our grandparents' home over in NJ. It is one of my favorite childhood memories; my own children and I donated to the restoration back in the 1980s but I've not had the privilege of taking them...Thanks again!
Leslie. There is no elevator to the crown. Only the pedestal.
Come on big momma, you can do it
How were you going to take the elevator to the top when there isn’t one💀I smell liesssss🥴🗣️
I believe it was late 70s that I went to New York city on a field trip when I was in middle school..I had no camera😮 but I remember everything especially when we went up the statue of liberty! So nostalgic for me to see it again😊
"So you're pretty bored up here?!"
Like you had to remind them poor guys!!! 😂
She's taking one for the team, while I sit on my fatass watching something I'll never go to.
I'm going in June and I'm watching the stairs like oh lord 😭
C. B you can’t even go inside anymore, did you not see this was made 7 years ago?
@@Jay-cs5yw what happened? Why cant you go in?
Those security guards look like they absolutely hate their jobs
Most all security people look like they hate their jobs...lol
they look.........VERY bored
I wonder how much they get paid to sit up there all damn day.
Stand NOT sit and minimum wage. Also no bathrooms except in lobby.
Lmfao
It's funny everyone up there is breathing heavy and trying to talk after climbing those stairs 😂
The climb up sounds like an herbal essences commercial. Jesus
+Daniel M. Pitta I think she was having a different kind of day than the herbal essence women.
The sound is from a Trojan commercial
I'm so glad that someone posted this, because heights give me "the willies!"
@Angela Ye -I forgot the "other meaning of that word!"😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
She been tired the whole damn video breathing hard as hell
Thank you for filming and posting - now I feel like I have seen it and don't have to do it. You saved my legs from misery.
My four year old likes to watch videos of people climbing the stairs to the Statue of Liberty and see the view from the crown. She totally pretends she's doing the climb. Can't wait to make her dream a reality when she's 4 feet tall and we buy tickets waaaay in advance. ❤️
Nikki Schumacher Official aww that’s so cute
Tickets dam I all ways thought it was free that is a good idea though it keeps her standing proud👍👍
Wow
No one cares
@@JustJqy 🖕u dick head
I remember taking those ridiculous stairs to the top when I was 15 over 50 years ago. It was like being in a giant trophy. It's definitely an experience you'll never forget.
how did the ghostbusters walk up all those narrow stairs and carry their gear with them?
+Kevin Arco With great difficulty no doubt.
That my sir is the power of crystal meth
"Oh she's tough she's a Harbour Chick!!" :D
@@Pheebs77 "She's French ya know."
It was probably a movie set
You can just feel the pain while she’s going up the stairs
.There are many cool things and little known things about the statue, "...inaugural fireworks for the statue took place on Nov. 1, 1886 at 7pm, red white and blue flares lit up sky as lady liberty's torch was lit for the first time." "Every part of the statue is symbolic. The severn spikes represent the seven seas and continents; the twenty-five windows in the crown represents the twenty-five natural minerals of earth..." These are excerpts from a chapter on the Statue of Liberty in my book, 'It Happened in New York."
@selfpromotepolice
It’s sad they didn’t keep the original blueprint. The statue was originally a black woman (former slave) and the french sent it to them not white Americans, but of course they had to change it
Where is the heart?
Bruh its fake
All this myths
xD GTA 4
@@filmaru that what i was talking about boi
Just because it isn’t there, doesn’t mean it ain’t real
So excited because tomorrow I'm going to New York for the first time and I'm going to see the Statue of Liberty and going in the crown!
Have a good trip! It should be a lot of fun!
The statue is in new jersey
Tristin Baeza bruh
Ok I get it yiur flexing lemme guess you got AirPods and iPhone X and a dad Hehehehe
@@tristbaeza260 no the statue is in New Jersey water but the island belongs to New York City
Walking up those steps is not easy even if you're in shape. It's very tight and cramped and hot inside the statue. I've climbed them twice in my lifetime.
Shes just an unfit bitch
So there is no air inside? I feel bad for the guys working in there
@@ricardocampos6517 There was, at the top of the crown where the workers are. I didn't feel any others on. I went in April so maybe they're on full blast during the summer.
@@cookiee45007 really I know fit people who couldn’t do it
I still think back on being scared of the stairs to the crown but overall such a good memory. You have to think one day they won’t let people walk up there anymore. Thanks for capturing on video!!
Got to take this trip in 2000 and it was exhausting but amazing!! It's a once in a lifetime opportunity for many, myself included. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊 🗽🤩😍
Those stairs are scary! I hope I get to go one day, thanks for posting the video.
Thanks 4 sharing... couldn't sleep and somehow the Statue of liberty popped into my head
Lmao
I went to NYC and the Statue of Liberty way back in 1978 when I was eight years old. I remember the long climb to the top of the crown and how hot it was up there. I was amazed at how small the crown seemed once you were up there but I was amazed at the view.
I could hear she was really tired walking up them steps. Really cool to be at the top. Such a tiny room. Great to take photos also.
I did this in the 5th grade and we thought it was awesome counting the steps....LMAO!! At the time, the statue was being reconstructed, but we made it to the crown. It was a nice experience, though. I would not do the climb now however. Not as young as I used to be....LMAO!! I do remember those spiraling narrow steps too. I do plan on visiting the island again in March - just not climbing the steps. Thanks for posting!!
Thank you SO much. I am an old man who has wanted to have this experience all my life.
I'm making that trip up there when I visit NYC for the first time next year (from Australia). Its the first activity on my first full day in the city. I can't wait!!
Awesome video! Just did this climb with my wife and 8 year old twins this past weekend and it was amazing. I went up when I was about their age in the late 80's and had a very different memory of how long/hard of a climb it was (I swore it took at least an hour to climb). Still unnerving and tiring but the lighting and stairs are much better thanks to the renovations in 2012.
when ur not in shape and u get tired really fast
She goes up like 2 flights of steps and gets tired.
Holy shit u guys are soooo funny get a fucking life
As crazy as this sounds I have wanted to see Lady Liberty since I was around 3 or 4 yrs old..I used to look for old pictures but back then in the early 70's there just wasn't that many out there..However, I am finally getting to go up this summer and I will be over the moon to finally see her in real life..Go ahead and laugh if you want to but for some reason I just became fascinated with her after watching the Planet of the apes (Lol!) I hope I can make that climb without hitting my head or almost knocking myself out ..Loved this video thanks for sharing it with us..
The glass bang lol great video :)
I am feeling so anxious watching this. Almost a trigger for claustrophobia. 😂 This reminds of time I was climbing the dark and narrow stairs of an old lighthouse. But it's thrilling. I have not been here. Wish to visit sometime in future. ❤
Thanks for the video footage. Going in May 2014. Trying to decide if I'm going to do the crown or not. I don't know if I can handle the small space inside.
1:37 still laughing ;D
I've done that before, but running at a mall
great footage thankyou!, im so surprised by how small her crown seems on the inside ... she looks so big from the outside!, i don't know what i was expecting it to look like but it wasn't that, it'd be a dream to be able to go visit one day. how amazing a job do those guys that sit in the crown have? wow
Thank you for taking that! Definitely saved us a trip. :)
thank you for posting this... I have a bad ankle and this showed me it is a rough climb with a not so great view.
reminds me of ghostbusters when they take her into the city and make her walk around.
Thanks for posting this! You have just confirmed that I will never do it! I'll just enjoy the view up! LOL!
excellent footage, will be here August 2014, booked crown visit today, yay :-)
exactement comme moi . le 18 a 8h. on se verra peut etre a NY...
Thank you for recording this, so I don't have to
Lovely video, just arrived back from New York and went over to visit the Statue of Liberty and up to the Crown. Had my NewYork Pass and no it said Not for the crown. But arrived to go up and told only 3000 People a day are allowed up. And seen that some view and hard to get photos. Glad i didnt go up. Its wonderful video. Glad i saw it at Night by Boat now as that was amazing! Your wife done amazing job!
Thank you for the kind words!
Thanks Brad for sharing this video. It gives me a great sense of it.
Skip to 3:58 ish to get inside the crown.
I can't believe the one security guard is supposed to stand guard standing on what is clearly not a platform.
Cool video! I just finished my crown video and enjoyed your perspective.
Thank you France for the VERY COOL gift!
where did you find the tickets? thnks for the video
My family and I visited and climbed the Statue of Liberty back in 1988. Back then, her crown only had FOUR windows for viewing. I think the change (adding more windows) was to increase the flow of traffic through her crown.
Also back in those days the twins existed !
I was born,and grew up in NYC,and I remember going to the Statue of Liberty in grade school. It was a trip I will always remember. Even though the climb to the Crown is Very Steep,and almost exhausting,eveyrbody,or at least every American should visit The Statue of Liberty.Mmmmmmmmm
what do you do for a living? oh I watch people take pictures all day in the statue of liberties head
thanks for making the trip for me.
You were lucky to have it to yourself for a few minutes. We've booked to climb it on 3rd December so I hope the weather conditions allow as we fly home on 4th!
When I visited the S.O.L in 2007 you couldn't go up inside it you could only go inside the base part under the feet and there was a huge glass ceiling where you could look up but not actually climb up.
I wonder if they have pumps on that island in case it ever floods from high water / tsunami like waves rushing in.
You really made my day.....thanks for the vid. :)
Thank you for doing this. I think I would never have been able to go-to the Statue of Liberty and do this. This is amazing! 😊
Goodbye 👋 wf iI dead
Impressive video! Thank you!🗽 Does anyone have experience: Is it a big difference on the weekend or on a weekday or is it always very crowded? If you have tickets for the crown, do you still have to wait a long time? Thanks in advance.
I'm so excited to go into the Statue of Liberty, even know I would hate the stairs I'll be worth it
Omg I was screaming OPEN UP THE IRIS OF THE CAMERA when y’all was saying it’s too dark 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you very much for this perfect video♡
Greetings from Türkiye / Turkey♡
Greetings from Germany, your Statue of Liberty is beautiful 🇺🇸🗽🌞
Are the walls all glass also half of it looked like you where flying or hacking through the stairs well like not walking on the stairs
When to nyc in 2013 I never went up in the crown because my nana thought I would jump of the statue or something and whenever I tried to get a good view on the pedestal she wouldn't let me look down or lean against the edge
How big around is the crown on the Statue of Liberty
Thanks, this was help full to understand what to expect.
I've just watched a show called The Secrets of Americas Favorite Places and this video was used on the show. Don't worry Ms. they did not air the audio of you out of breath. Great job of making it to the top.
Yes! They licensed the use of the video from us! Professional camera crews are not allowed inside the statue for some reason.
What year did you do this?
And what island was this?
The Gift 🧧🎁 of Freedom that Keeps America as the Greatest Nation in the World 🌎🌍 !!!
Thank You French the Gift of Freedom !!!
Are you allowed to go into the torch?
How can I see crown ? How much tickets ? And which website ?
Sounds like someone was really out of shape from the first step onward. lol
Walking 10 - 15 miles a day in NYC will do that to you...
Brad Benefield lol 10to15 Miles a day any were will do it to me..
@@theishkid walking many miles wont make you out of shape dumb.
thank you for sharing
I'm so excited I'm going in 2 weeks to the Statue of Liberty and King Kong statue im so excited!
Going there in July , we're staying in jersey , than we're gonna go to some visits in the city (ny)
Thanks for this video.
Do they have an age limit I want to take my kids we went to New York around spring break but we didn't have enough time going back next month though. Is this safe for kids? I'm just curious.
Amazing guys so lucky thank goodness sharing folks
I live in NY about 100 miles from NYC. Never been to the Statue of Liberty. Have been to the one in Vegas though. Strange how things work out.
I feel like I'm in Ghostbusters 2
Awesome video!
What year was glass added to the crown?
I remember going there when I was in 7th grade when we were learning about immigration. Kinda scary going up there, but fun! Imagine having that security guy's job standing on that ledge for hours? I couldn't...that would make me crazy!
i was there in may this year and i always thought there was a restaurant in the crown i was really suprised there wasnt lol to small ,still loved the view and the rangers where really nice :)
The restaurant is in the torch but you need reservations.
Your right for gnooms and elfes :) lol
This lady climbed a few steps and sounds like she ran a marathon lol
I'm glad they are still letting people up there. I thought they stopped that a long time ago.
How much time were you limited to up there? It would be like living my ghostbusters dream.
It was closed down for a long time, then it opened back up 4th of July in 2013 I believe and we were there just a month or two after.
She was not limited in time up there... But you do have a stream of other people trying to get up there so you have to keep others in mind.
How long do you have to climb her
Majestic!
Is it that steep all the way down? Do you go in groups of so many people at a time? You need a special ticket to see the statue of liberty? How far in advance?
Yes you need a special ticket, probably way in advance. They might send a small group of 2-3 up at once if you are together.
This looks way different than gta 4
I know it's hard to climb all the way up and down but look on the bright side....
GREAT CARDIOVASCULAR WORKOUT!!!!
thanks for sharing
Awesome video. Not many could say they've done that!
After seeing this video I wish I never done it . Lol I never done it anyway
Are those stairs are narrow like that all the way to the top i see the way you was struggling to go up there and the crown is not a pretty sight.I was thinking of going there i lived in nyc all my life and never went and from the way it looks up there so small and confined i dont think i be going up there.Thanks for the upload for your video very much appreicated.How long it took you to walk up to the top please respond back.Thanks have a blessed day.
It only took her about 3 minutes to climb to the top. But three minutes of small stairs was crazy rough for her and as you can hear she was out of breath. She definitely said it was small up there. I didn't want to go because I am bigger and taller. She said I would have had a hard time being 6'4" so I'm glad I didn't go.
Thank you for the nice response!
Nice video!
I did the Crown. It was such a surreal experience, but so damn tight in there. Not surprised they limit it to only 200 people per day. Otherwise it'd be a complete nightmare
i thought their would be an elevator inside for elderly and disabled and people with buggies as i am sure they would wanna visit the statue too
+Frozen Ice Queen Elsa The statue is much smaller than it looks like on tv and movies. There is no room for that kind of stuff. Plus there were no ADA laws back when this thing was built.
How can something so big be so tiny inside?
Thank you for your video! I have a couple of questions for you: 1) Do you think it was worth it despite the limited views and long walks up tight stairs? 2) My husband is 6'4, would this be miserable for him since your wife (who I assume is smaller than that) was having a hard time with bumping her head, etc? We both get motion sickness too from climbing tight, spiral staircases so it would have to be worth it haha Thanks!
I'm 6'4 as well and she said I would have spent the whole time ducking. I'm a big guy though too in addition to being tall so that's why I didn't want to try going up there. When I get in better shape I plan on making the trip up to the top despite having to duck. She actually went back up this past fall with my father and they both enjoyed it. It's a pretty impressive piece of history.
