My friend, I very much love your videos. This type of Edmonton history is fantastic. I do hope that you will consider producing more of these videos. I love the WEM videos too,but there surely is only so much you can talk about in regards to that mall. You have already won my respect so listening to you talk more about general Edmonton history would be fantastic! This is the video that has earned my subscription. A job well done sir!

[@jaydenjohner6901]

Lived in Edmonton my entire life. Had no idea that was here 😂

[@OriginalPineapplesFoster]

Next week when I'm downtown I'll take a look around here and think of you. 🖖🍍

[@ALISTGAMERS1]

[@2joneh834]

So underrated, keep it up! I’m glad to see that someone sees good in our city!

[@kyrahostyn2209]

My great great grandfather was the proprietor of the Edmonton Hotel, and the person who invented this. His name was Joseph Hostyn

[@Vinylzilla]

[@albertdraper1157]

So very fascinating...

[@leeme8947]

Great information and video

[@LakeNipissing]

Very interesting history. I had no idea about this being in Edmonton. There is (or was) something like this in operation in Niagara Falls.

[@kingchris-xt9lf]

please reply to my comment in your bungee jump video

[@tylergamester2179]

I really enjoyed seeing all the archived pictures. Did it take a while to find all the pictures?

[@caydenbrisson779]

You should do a video when Edmonton was trying to take over Sherwood Park in the 80’s

[@STGGamings]

This was great video. Do you think you could get info about Beverly and it's role in the gold rush. and Rundle and the old mine carts that once when through here. I live in the area and it's fun to go to Rundle and check out the old mines. S uch a Hidden Gem

[@masteryoshi87]

I didn't know about the new one or the old one. Now I wanna go see it!

[@saywhayguy]

Is this a subtle prediction for the Prairie Sky Gondola?

[@fenus609]

We want more!!!!!!!!!!

[@MegaKopfschmerzen]

At 4:04 'After briefly considering coal as an energy source they settled on steam engine.' Isn't that the same?

[@kristianhuttaldrich8506]

There Is Also One Underground Between The Canada Place And Shaw Centre

[@krbourne]

Wish Ottawa had vision like this. Why can't we have cool stuff?

[@reneelynn69]

I honestly thought you were gonna talk about how the shaw conference centre has a funicular haha.

[@mszrestorationandcontracti3290]

What about the one in the convention center?

[@BestEdmontonMall]

Remember to visit the premiere page for our upcoming Christmas episode, and set the reminder so we can all watch together on Nov 30! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5DRnnaOndaGlas

[@mattw4211]

Didn't they have elevators similar to this in the Shaw conference center?

[@kingchris-xt9lf]

they still do

[@hudson5742]

Yay! New awesome video

[@pukalo]

I miss the old 105 Street Bridge

[@margricher8876]

What does it cost to ride this thing? $1 each time!?

[@BestEdmontonMall]

It's free!

[@margricher8876]

@@BestEdmontonMall thanks for the info. I didn;t know where it was located until your video. Now I can ride it this summer

[@KnickKnax90s]

Early squad 👐

[@JasmineJu]

This is pretty useless, it's faster to just run down the steps, I see this being open for less than 5 years.

[@kingchris-xt9lf]

and its free and would cost more money to remove

[@Lakoustic]

Tell that to someone in a wheelchair or with a heart condition.

[@daniellongworth7513]

中原マリ it's not for people like you, it's for families, handicapped people and old people to get from street level into the river valley where there is supposedly things going on.

[@N0xKn1ght]

This video just proves the money we waste by bring back a thing that died off 100 years ago... makes so much sense what next let's bring back green screen PC's push it as a new must have tourist attraction
