Ok New York RE members or any anyone who visited the Satue of Libery, maybe you can answer my question. I watched Cloverflield last night and one thing bugged me during the rest of the movie. When Ms. Liberty lost her head the size of it looked wrong. Now in Ghostbusters II they were able to fit 4 men by Her crown and walk around New York. Now in Cloverfield, it almost looked like you couldn’t stand there. So my question is how big is her head? Can you stand up there? Lastly could the copper have melted or shrunk it? BTW the movie was not all that bad.

You are no longer allowed inside the head of the Statue of Liberty because of the terrorist attacks on 9/11. Before that, you could fit an entire tour group up there easily. The head is about the size of an auditorium, but now all you can see if you go there is a shitty souveneir shop.

Thanks, so why does her head look small in the movie? How far can you go inside of her? Boy let me rephrase that...How high can you get? Hell I think you know what I mean.
