The Right Student, a British political blog, has pointed out that the mock up of the revamped Eiffel Tower "looks a bit like the 'Parachute Jump' from Coney Island."The Guardian explains that the purpose of the Eiffel addition is to "double the capacity of the public viewing area on the tower's top floor." However, considering that the Parachute Jump is often referred to as the 'Eiffel Tower of Brooklyn,' and that the revamping of the Parachute Jump's lighting has been getting a lot of press lately, it could be that Paris is just trying to keep up with Brooklyn.
