i watch this and think "changed, changed, closed, closed, changed" lol

I love watching these old videos. It really makes me wish that I grew up in the 80's/90's. I was born in 1998 so I missed getting to experience those times. However I am grateful that I got be a child in the late 90's and early 2000's because times were still simpler back then, toys were better, shows were better, life was just better haha. And there is still lots of nostalgia that I can look back on and laugh about the way things were.

So was this just a video tape that they sold at the mall for a while? I'd love to hear more about it

Those sleds for that slide were so heavy for a skinny little kid, and the skyscreamer slides seemed so much bigger...My brother rode the mindbender hours before 3 people were killed on it...Those poor dolphins : ( ...Lotta happy memories of this mall, and was lucky to live near there as a kid.

[@sexyshit84]

Oh man memories. That mall sure has changed. My dad worked there when phase two was being built.

[@Chloevenning]

This brings back memories! I didn’t get to experience the submarine but my mom did when she was a kid!

[@princet1492]

My grandfather helped build the mall and that boat in the middle

[@evanjohn1857]

Does anyone know what amusement park the perilous pendulum is in right now in year 2016?

[@kitkatstrats9516]

Hopefully nowhere it sat in a parking lot for many years exposed to the elements

[@davoohm2779]

Wot?

[@jarrettsangris9928]

A heads up, in 2015 some kids will destroy some parts of this mall, of their minds not being inside of the mall, and wants to do it because of them not having fun just the edmontonions are having fun. And I seen a video of them planning and showed what would happen if they successfully done it. And they said once it's done they will be no more malls better than west edmonton mall

[@TheRosemontag]

Take that mall of America.

[@maeganclemo5201]

Mall of America and W.E.M are sister malls.

[@smurlr4854]

I never knew galaxyland used to be called fantasyland?

[@whimsical82]

Yup! And Disney sued them so they had to change it.

[@maddoxcox]

The hotel is still called the Fantasyland hotel, so i think several Disneyland fans accidently knew the existence of West Edmonton Mall

[@jarrettsangris9928]

Already did, doesnt mean I have to be mature.

[@EhhSnaps]

galaxy land was wayy cooler back then LOOl

[@OrlandoOrca]

Never heard of a mall housing dolphins

[@kitkatstrats9516]

It doesn't anymore all except one died and was moved to Florida. They now have sea lions

[@OrlandoOrca]

+Katherine Lalonde I'm aware of that fact lol, thanks though

[@jarrettsangris9928]

U won't love it if the people decide to make it smaller,

[@jarrettsangris9928]

Thier new video is about why people loves edmonton, it has to be that mall, and here are the lines, "the fucking edmonton people keep saying I love edmonton every goddammn time! It's got to be that mall, and the outdoor ride park. Not even once I heard people said I fucking hate edmonton or I hate edmonton, I will make those words opposite and more depressed than before, in 2015 the fun is over and people would hate the city. I can't wait for their fun to end, I fucking hate them. Wem 1981-2015
