The Wentworth Radio and Observation Tower (commonly known as the Wentworth Radio Tower) was a concrete communications and observation tower in Wentworth, Enderron. It was the tallest tower and structure in the city from its opening in 1972 to 1974, when the McKay Tower was completed. Although it became known as one of Wentworth's most visited landmarks, it was not universally loved by the city's residents, and was critically panned for its design. It was nicknamed the Burger Tower by critics due to the shape and colour of its observation deck resembling a burger.
The Wentworth Radio Tower was closed in 1996 and progressively demolished throughout 1997 to make way for the EN Tower, which was built and opened in its place in 2000. The EN Tower has received much higher acclaim and popularity by Wentworthians.
