* The [[wp:Golden Gate Bridge|Golden Gate Bridge]] makes an appearance as the [[Gant Bridge]]. This bridge links San Fierro and the town of Bayside. The bridge appears to have functioning [[Tollbooths|tollbooths]], as evidenced by the fact that cars heading into San Fierro stop at the toll plaza. However, the player is apparently immune to the toll, not having to pay it. Gant Bridge extends over [[San Fierro Bay]], which is a re-creation of [[wp:San Francisco Bay|San Francisco Bay]], and physically separates San Fierro from [[Bayside]] and [[Tierra Robada]]. | |||
* The [[wp:San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge|San Francisco Bay Bridge]] makes an appearance as the [[Garver Bridge]]. This bridge links San Fierro and [[Tierra Robada]] near [[Las Venturas]]. Alongside the Garver Bridge is the [[Kincaid Bridge]], which is modeled after the Forth Rail Bridge, which itself sits beside the Forth Road Bridge outside Edinburgh, Scotland. This may also be a reference to the home of ''Rockstar North'', where the original bridges are located. The Forth Road Bridge and the western span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge look remarkably similar. | |||
* The [[wp:Transamerica Pyramid|Transamerica Pyramid]] is re-created as the [[Big Pointy Building]], the base of the building surrounded by somewhat humorous signs. One can travel to the top for a bird's eye view of San Fierro. One [[Parachute|parachute]] (and only one, so exercise caution) is provided, in case players have the urge to jump off. | * The [[wp:Transamerica Pyramid|Transamerica Pyramid]] is re-created as the [[Big Pointy Building]], the base of the building surrounded by somewhat humorous signs.
