I went here a few years ago. Has to be the best mall in the world, seriously! What's not to love about this place?

[@user-kd9qk7ij2j]

Well to be honest it used to be so cool with a hotel an ice rink,submarines,boats,marine life,hockey,swimming in the deep sea lake,diving,surfing lessons,water park,amusement park and sooooo much more , but now they have just turned it into a shopping centre.....though that is the main purpose and always has been,it used to be PACKED with days full of activities!!i miss the old mall!

[@user-kd9qk7ij2j]

Aqetor Chugging cat ya and expensive galaxy pass used to be so cheap

[@HerrenGamingNews]

Parking, I live in Edmonton and visit this mall frequently and parking at West Ed is a nightmare

[@LEADERCHICKADEE]

Thank you. As a proud Edmontonian and West Edmonton Mall expert, i appreciate your kind words. i used to work at Galaxyland for 2 year 2002-2004 and enjoyed it. :)

[@Robot_magik]

@@HerrenGamingNews which is ironic, as WEM has the largest parking lot in the world 😂 it’s honestly impossible to find a good spot, and there’s always traffic.

Tim Horton's is more our version of dunkin' donuts, or krispy Kreme. Our version of Starbucks is second cup.

[@whatischampion]

I've never heard of second cup

[@quackityalt7213]

@@volfgang1393 I'd say second cup is less widespread where I live, more starbucks here

That's true

[@toniyakey7239]

I have been to Edmonton for my class trip is was sooo much fun. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time😂😂🥺

[@aarone4367]

Btw the only reason they have over the neck harnesses on the Mind Bender is because in the 80s 3 people died on it

[@timothyhills20]

That was not because of the restraints, that was because the entire train flew off the track

[@timothyhills20]

The restraints were just added as the security and maintenance developed

[@chrismuise5911]

Aaron P lol your a moron it had nothing to do with that the undercarriage came off nothing to do with the shoulder restraints you dumb fuck

[@pjhub]

Chris Muise dude chill

[@NorthernLighsGirl]

Chris Muise they added it as a extra safety feature after the accident in the 80s

[@aleahc]

The Cosmic Revolution was replaced by Havoc last year, I think (2018). I really wanted to go on the Cosmic Revolution but it was always closed. And Havoc got stuck twice within 6 hours when I went there for a school fun day

West Ed mall is rad, so much do and see. Definitely a worthy investment if you want to go to the water park or GalaxyLand.

[@UrLocalMaja]

This Is Better Then Mall Of America

[@TotalTruthca]

Worked at Mariposa Store # 2 back in 1990 at West Ed...good memories...thanks for the video nice to see it again...live back in Ontario now, but will always remember the 6 years I lived in Edmonton fondly...

[@hippo780]

wow 1990, you prob remember sam the record man shop lol

[@mikesexplorations9314]

fun mall, the slides and map in the water park are all color coded, so if you forget the name of the slide you want to experience, just remember the color

[@Rawd123]

Very good review of the mall. Thanks.

[@panda_girllover1545]

I went to west Edmonton mall for my birthday April 6 2018. What a great time. When i went to the water parks the sun run me was closed 😂😂😂. I went there 10 years ago and it was opem. Hopefully in 10 more years my family will come back to west Edmonton mall

[@pannerspage2382]

My family plans on going here in the spring... six kids under 15 are going...its gonna be a blast!!!!

[@didiramona7131]

that moment when you live in Edmonton but barely go to the mall, good vid

[@AndromedaAJB]

Didi doge yo saaammee I live all the way on the North East side on the opposite side of town.

[@aplam94]

I live in the south side but I go there often

[@Ashicakez3]

I know this video was released two years ago lol,but the Cosmic spinner is actually not that bad. I almost fell asleep on it 😂

[@Astra_Polaris]

My heart broke just a little more when I saw HMV on the directory map. It's now gone and it hurts my heart especially because when my friends and I would meet up at West Ed, seeing as we all live in Edmonton or surrounding areas, we'd meet up outside the HMV and if a couple people were early we'd hang out inside and look at all the movies and stuff. I also miss the old fire breathing dragon in the Scotiabank theater. Also, I went on the old blue slide that you mentioned doesn't go anywhere anymore when I was a kid and holy crap, so much has changed.

[@paytonmclean4535]

Amyel .Z ya it has

[@UrLocalMaja]

Wow

[@Dettah420]

Going here soon. Can't wait to shop 🤗😊

[@lydiaunsworth3911]

I live in Edmonton and i have actually never been on the mindbender and i try to got to the mall at least every other week. it is my favorite places to hang out with y friends!

[@Nezul]

That abandoned slide by the tube ride is the old tube ride which was amazing

[@ildibaba11]

Greiztoph Titanhammer I was never in that one. It's below the orange tube slide and its dead. Just a big entry to see but there's no water

[@Nezul]

super555555555555 Yep, used to be a really big long slide, used to take 10 to 20 minutes to go through.

[@F8TAL]

It was only like 3 minutes? Still one of my favourites tho

[@aplam94]

There were 2 slides one has Christmas lights on the roof and the other one didn’t. The one with Christmas lights took long because there was always a lot people were backed in the tunnel.

[@Auditioneere]

It was called the lazy river. Was my favorite cuz you just chilled while you floated along.

[@robhimself79]

a cup of tims is a little bit of heaven.

1:15 I _love_ the bubble tea at this place.

[@aplam94]

I love west Edmonton mall I went to the black light mini golf and mirrors maze it was fun. Galaxyland not my cup of tea but I do enjoy walking though it to cut past the crowds in the mall. I used to go to the water park every year with my school as a year end field trip. I stayed at the hotel in the western themed room once on New Year’s Eve and saw the indoor fireworks at the water park I love seeing the penguins at sea life but I do miss the dolphins.

[@kingchris-xt9lf]

I live in Edmonton and it did not snow last night

[@superkelz1049]

I live in Edmonton, and it definitely DID snow last night :(

[@dianehenson2915]

KingChris 1244 wow!!!

[@mitchellries256]

Wow, this mall looks incredible. I thought Mall of America was big, until I saw this video. I love how Galaxyland has that huge play structure, and I wish I was a young kid again just to go inside and play there. The waterpark would be my favorite attraction there, but my only complaint is that most if not all the slides there are body slides. I think they need more tube rides. Perhaps they could build 2 or 3 on the back side of the park if they have enough room (and maybe a matt racing slide on the side of the park opposite of the flow rider). And the flow rider is a extra cost attraction? That shocked me because every waterpark I've been to that has one of these didn't cost any extra charge at all.

[@Ashicakez3]

Mitchell Ries That abandoned purple slide on the other side of the waterpark used to be a tube slide, same with that big green one. I haven't been to the waterpark in 6 years. I have no idea why they changed the slides because they were so fun.

[@BBINGHAM032352]

My wife and I live a few blocks south of the mall just south of Whitemud Drive.

[@atherwitch]

The swing ride has been there for 30 years....from personal experience. The big roller coaster......no ones died since that one time....

[@RachelleOhEl]

I’m only here to remind myself to be grateful for the mall I have

[@Coasterzilla]

When I'm like "Wow this video came out pretty late after their trip" and then you remember Clint's Kennywood video still isn't out almost a damn year later

[@IntheLoopPodcast]

+Coasterzilla well, we posted a lot of it already in different segments, but had some general mall footage and figured this would be the best way to use it

[@maeganbyerley]

Just some facts 1) The ship is a replica of the Santa Maria 2) The reason why the amusement park is called Galaxyland is because back in the 90s Disney blew a fit when they found out that W.E.M called their amusement park Fantasyland LONG before Disney even came up with the idea. 3) The mindbender roller coaster has shoulder restraints due to a fatal accident that happened back in the 80's on the final loop. My sister in law was there when it happened. 4) Swing of the century is one of the rides that was left behind from it's Fantasyland days which is why it looks out of place. There are a few other rides that were kept as well 5) The double window tanks looking into the lagoon I do believe was part of the old submarine ride as well that went of of service a long time ago 6) Before the sea lions they had dolphins. Also there were bird cages near Sea Lion's rock, Flamingos & a few other types of birds were in them. 7) The mall was built in phases over time.

[@IntheLoopPodcast]

Fantasyland opened at Disneyland in 1955

[@nepoleon92]

I live ten minutes from edmonton and go here all the time it's kind of serial to see a review of it on KZbin. Great video dude

[@cyberpleb2472]

Did you mean surreal, perhaps?

[@heathercameron6517]

i miss figure skating jumps loops spins my one foot my favorite

[@uhhuhlisenboy5502]

I remember when I was little and I lived 7 hours away my grandma took us to WEM and we stayed in the hotel and I was in the hot tub for HOURS!

[@queenfan45]

It almost seems to be more a small city than a mall.

[@LEADERCHICKADEE]

About Quirks in the Works: No, that is not a Bushman...it is an angry Edmontonian! ;) Hehehe...

[@mitchellries256]

I can see why World Waterpark was your favorite indoor waterpark, but you might want to the Kalahari Waterpark in Pocono Manor, Pennsylvania. Totally worth it.

[@anniebutton6223]

I haven't been in 5 years and I wanna go back so bad

[@jennadeys9558]

the tube slides use to be open but they were too difficult to maintain so they closed it down

[@Notinuse430]

The mind bender a ton of fun? I’ve been on it and got whipflashed and I hated it it was so scary and I didn’t know this until a month ago but the mindbender went off the track and killed everyone riding in that cart

Im going there in a week and were are all them Albertons at

[@Kieltheawesomedude]

It doesn't snow every night and don't forget it snows in the states too😂

[@vagabondrobotics]

They used to have only lap bars but they changed them after the accident, even though the accident did find have anything to do with the restraints

[@athena3257]

I live in Edmonton and at the water park the pink drop one is calles the cyclone and the blue ones are the blue bullet and that play park thing is called the water works the green ones are the corkscrews the gray ones that come out together are twisters and the one next to slide boarding in hunter when you were lookin* at the map the big purple ones in the back are nessy revenge the sip line hurts your down there..

Attractions at WEM -World Waterpark Galaxyland Mini Golf Bowling Colour Me Mine Aquarium Those relism video games Lots of shops of course Much more

[@Ninjozata]

the sea life cavern is actually really sad to visit, the tanks are all super small and they make them look bigger by having glass look out into the indoor lake, but i dont think they've let anything live in there since the dolphins died... the poor sharks just kinda hang out by the water filters, normally they have to keep moving so they dont die, and looking at them alwyas makes me feel like im looking at a fish in an iron lung. I'ts good that they have info for people though, especially the African penguins the attendants have always been really knowledgeable about the animals and different ways/charities that can help support them.

[@russellewis3331]

The most fun is standing on the entrance bridge through the mindbender and telling the tourists the rollercoaster is probably safe now since it has not killed people in years wem fun

[@cowboylike_zoe]

The roller coaster is like that because in the 80s three people died on it

[@acerkisspale7802]

Zoe Trombley I know I was there that night it was and is so sad never been back there

My sister was next in line! 😖

[@aplam94]

That’s why I have a fear of roller coasters. I wasn’t even born yet but growing up in Edmonton people will always talk about it.

[@russellewis3331]

Yeah but its super fun to tell the tourists that it has not killed many people for a while so its prob safe now then they can really enjoy it

[@mackthehackfraud5965]

They redesigned the Mindbender after, adding safer wheels that can be easily searched for a problem.
