Actually, they are lots of copies of Eiffel tower throughout the world. None of them is exactly the same and most of them are in different scale. The most alike is the Tokyo tower (same scale, different colors - red and white), then the scale models in theme parks around the world (Orlando, Florida, USA; Tianducheng, China;Las Vegas, USA; Shenzen, China). Also the cities named after Paris in different countries have their replicas of the tower (Texas, Tennessee, Russia...)

Here is the list of many similar structures around the world:

Replica at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel, Nevada, United States.

Replica at Walt Disney World's EPCOT.

Replica at Tianducheng, Hangzhou, China.

Replica at Kings Island near Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.

Replica of Eiffel Tower on factory building at Satteldorf near Crailsheim, Germany.

Replica in Parizh village, Russia.

According to interviews given in the early 1980s Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau negotiated a secret agreement with French President Charles DeGaulle for the tower to be dismantled and temporarily relocated to Montreal to serve as a landmark and tourist attraction during Expo 67. The plan was allegedly vetoed by the company which operated the tower out of fear that the French government could refuse permission for the tower to be restored to its original location.[37]

Reproductions

As one of the most iconic images in the world, the Eiffel Tower has been the inspiration for dozens of duplicate and similar towers around the world.

• The Eiffel Tower was the inspiration for the Blackpool Tower in Blackpool, England. After visiting the Great Paris Exhibition in 1889, the towns mayor John Bickerstaffe commissioned the building of the tower, which has a very similar design and was completed 1894. The main differences are that the Blackpool Tower is approximately half the height of the Eiffel Tower and is not freestanding, the base being contained within buildings which house the Tower Circus.

It was completed in 1889, so it'll be 124 this year.

Hello NO the Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower Of Pisa are very different. While the Eiffel Tower is much bigger and the Tower Of Pisa is over 1,000 feet smaller than it. They are made out differently Eiffel Tower made out of metal on hard grounds, the Leaning Tower Of Pisa is made of white marble and stone built on soft grounds which cases it to lean.

Cranes come in many weights, according to how large they are. A truck mounted Hiab can weigh less than 1,000 pounds. Large dockyard cranes will weigh thousands of tons.

age 25+: 8.20€

12-24: 6.60€

How the disabled are expected to get up the stairs, I can't think; but they are allowed one accompanying person at the same rate.

Incidentally, prices are the same all the year round; these prices apply until March 31, 2012

The tower was built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair.

The architect, Gustave Eiffel, had a permit for the tower to stand for 20 years; it was to be dismantled in 1909, when the City of Paris would take over ownership. The City had planned to tear it down (part of the original contest rules for designing a tower was that it could be easily demolished) but as the tower proved valuable for communication purposes, it was allowed to remain after the expiry of the permit.

For the base, concrete was used. The tower is made out of wrought iron which if maintained with a protective layer of paint can last an extremely long time. Glass is used on the first floor of the tower.

Iron used : approximately 7300 tons

Other materials : approximately 2700 tons

Different materials were used to construct the Eiffel Tower. Concrete was used to construct the base and mainly wrought iron for the rest.
