  • Going up and down in the OTIS high-rise scenic elevators @ CN Tower in Toronto, Canada.
    We travelled up to the main deck which is 346 meters above ground - or equal to 114 building floors!
    Construction of the tower began in 1973 and it was completed in 1976
    To watch the low-rise scenic hydraulic elevators, please watch hissen12's video of those at • Nice!!! Delta Scenic H...

    Memories for me here, I've always had a massive fascination for this tower since completion, knowing it held the record for tallest freestanding structure in the world until Dubais monster took it in in 2007 , I was so happy going up it in 98 when it still held the title was a thrill to . Then having dinner in the planet Hollywood restaurant nextdoor, is it still there, there was no glass floor in the elevator back in 98 if I'm remember right. Still a mega tower even though it has slipped down in the rankings. Then going up burj in 2015 I realised how far buildings have progressed in time .

    Cool elevator with the glass floor panel and the glass walls. I like how the lifts are integrated into the architecture of the tower. Looks very futuristic.

    When I was just 12 years old, my Grandparents took us to Montreal for the Olympics with a stop at the CN tower in Toronto along the way. This was when it was brand spanking new in June of 1976.
    We took the extra trip to the higher outdoor observatory and I remember looking down on the main section with my Grandfather and he was laughing because they were already doing roof repairs on a brand new structure. This was about the same time he had the roof replaced on his (now mine) business and the roofers were coming back all of the time to fix their shoddy work, so I think it was more of a sympathetic laugh rather than dissing this amazing tower. Perhaps they were just doing some final touches on it, so I really don't know. I'd love to go back one day.

    I went to Toronto three times. Once to see the doctor and twice for surgery. I should have went up the CN Tower but I was afraid to. So I went up the Calgary Tower instead. It wasn't as high up and it isn't even the tallest building in Calgary anymore. But I saw the Rocky Mountains out the western windows. Maybe they will make the Calgary Tower taller sometime in the future and then I will go up it again! :D

    Then, they keep going! Blasting out of the roof! The elevator then turns into a flying, jet propelled, elevator. They knew they had one, they were the only ones, the, last ones.. They were then asked by the elevator's inventor over a muffled intercom, to come and stay in the elevator factory, forever.. The End. :)

    I was a employee of a contractor who did all the restaurant lighting back in 2006 ,we did 3 weeks on night shift ,and he was asked to quote the new led lighting system inside the elevator shafts ,he asked me and four other guys if we would consider working on the roof of the elevator while an Otis employee would ride inside the lift on crawl speed , there are 2 lifts in each shaft so even while you are harrnesst off when you are in the roof of the elevator you still have a open shaft right by your side ,I said no thanks
