Mall Vault

Unread postby yeehahpv » Wed Apr 27, 2005 12:33 pm

I was just wondering if anybody other than me has ever thought of having a mall vault, or has anyone ever actually had one. I know their are difficulties, but has it been done.

wow, I can't even imagine how loud it must get in there. Malls usually reverberate sound pretty well. If there was a good clap going or a pole was to break I bet the sound levels would be amazing.

There was one at the Mall of America in Minnesota back in 1996.
