I remember sleeping in the whale. Worked an evening supervisor shift at the Deep Sea adventue - and went to Bourbon street with friends, after too many drinks and needing to return for an Day shift. Curled up and slept for 4 ish hours. Fresh to start the day!

[@penguinpie5056]

this is the only one that really annoys me. I have fond memories of being a small kid and going up to the whale, making sure to carefully step over the inch space of water exposed into the mouth and how it was kind of dark and withdrawn from the noise of the mall inside there with just a dim red light. I'd stay in there like I was hidden from the world until my grandpa would call me out. Whoever made the call to remove it deserves a punch in the face. Such a completely idiotic move. I walked through as an adult wondering where it had been. I just remember we'd be going somewhere and then we'd come across the whale on the way and everything stopped until I had gone inside.

[@codytremblay7929]

Dude you explained my all experiences with that whale, i just recently came across it walking around with my daughter and wife, it kind of made me feel sad going inside of it tho it isn't the same, my daughter loved it.

[@hurricaneheehee2254]

[@You-Tube-FBI]

That water inside the whales mouth... was most likely piss. When I was a teenager in the late 90s and early 2000s, ass holes like me an my friends would take turns peeing on the bench. The 'water' always flowed back toward the opening. Glad you stepped over it. Edit: sorry I grew up from my asshole teenager days. I also as a kid who first moved to Edmonton also enjoyed my time sitting in the whale.

[@LakeNipissing]

I have visited WEM annually since 1986, and continue to be dismayed at what has been and continues to be removed or discarded to accommodate benches and street vendors. Unbelievably short-sighted decision making to remove iconic artwork and fixtures for temporarily popular merchants and attractions.

[@wclark3196]

David Poon, sounds like should be on WEM management team. You just don't get it. The changes they have made to the mall, the whale included, have made it less of a special place to be. When all malls are failing to attract customers, the last thing they should do is make a unique destination feel like just another mall.

Every time I go to the mall I forget that phase 1 exists. There's nothing to funnel people into it or even near it. It feels like you have to intentionally go looking for it, where the rest of the mall naturally leads you through. I hope stores in that area pay less on their leases.

[@looneylune3438]

Good to know i didn’t hallucinate this. I visited West Ed a few times in my childhood between the ages of 4-6, and my memories are pretty limited. I had memories of seeing a whale and going inside of it, but I couldn’t find any information on it. I just assumed it was some weird fever dream. Good to know that this really did exist.

I’ve been binging all of your “What Happened To” videos all day today and yesterday! The fire breathing dragon brought a tear to my eye, and watching the modernization of some of my most memorable parts of the mall was devastating. I would love to hear your take on the Sea Life Caverns! Once I moved away from Edmonton to a small city, I had so many blank stares whenever I recounted Sea Life Caverns to anyone. It’s like no one remembers it! Can’t wait to see more of these, keep up the excellent work :-)

[@Trevorious2010]

I lived in millwoods for a time and frequented MillWoods Town Center. I really liked the cowboy statue! I had no idea the same man responsible for the oiler workers and whale was also responsible for the cowboy and horse! I really really love your channel! I have an interesting story about my own personal experience at West Edmonton Mall.... I was in high school between 2003-2005 at Jasper Place and unfortunately I fell in with the wrong crowd. the mall rats! I used to hang out and loiter at that mall more days than I can remember. and it was around that time I was developing a talent for entertaining others with street magic. it got to a point where I was good enough to earn tips at just 16 years old. I decided that I wanted to try my busking at the mall and I found out pretty quickly that due to it's "private property" status, it's not allowed. but I kept at it, keeping a low profile and never causing anyone to make a complaint. I have been busking at WEM for well over 15 years at this point. entertaining thousands of people. Bourbon St is the perfect place to work during a dinner rush as there is plenty of seating and people just waiting to eat. I have seen that mall go through many changes and many face lifts. I miss much of the personality it used to have. I had my first job at that mall "Ride attendant at galaxy land". I took my first girlfriend on a date there. first time I experimented with alcohol and weed was there. some of the best memories growing up was at that mall. I think as a local, sometimes we take the mall for granted because we're so used to it. but that mall is straight up crazy! there used to be THREE movie theaters at one time there!

[@williamm.buttlicker3870]

This made me cry, have fond memories of that Whale. They should've put Victoria's Secret elsewhere or put it inside that old Target spot to call it the largest Victoria's Secret in Canada with Pink and Victoria's secret on different levels. In what Victoria Secret is now they just should've put something more suitable for everybody there.

[@CarterLoose]

I have fond memories and had many photos taken in the whale. I kind of forgot that it even existed but as soon as I saw that photo at the beginning all the memories came flooding back in. That's really good to know it's still there. From the photo, the fake waves look really ugly but I'll have to swing by next week and check it out. I have really been enjoying this channel! I love learning the history of some of things that were a big part of my childhood.

I love how you comically said where the whale is now. But it is sad that it's not where it used to be. I didn't even know it was at WEM still. Now I want to go to Best Edmonton Mall and see it again myself. Thanks for this very insightful video!

I’m a Calgarian and I’ve only been to WEM once but I have a healthy respect for how ridiculously cool and groundbreaking it was. Right down to the little details like this.

[@dustfart466]

I’m glad to be a kid who give up in the 90’s when the mall was in its prime. God knows fantasyland couldn’t have been better. As a child , I absolutely LOVED the play pen/jungle Jim. My mom would leave me in there and I would spend hours running around. Remember those long slides at the back of the play place? I certainly do . They were static free and went for days, the scariest part being that the slides were pitch dark so keep everything tucked in. It’s amazing how much space they dedicated to us kids.

[@olekstormantovski8096]

Just discovered this channel and I am beyond glad I did. I grew up in West Edmonton and WEM was like a second home to me. Still live here today and it's remarkable how much it changed. Still miss my two Zellers! Great channel, subscribed and hoping for more fantastic content in the future. Your videos are genuinely made very well.

[@tinotse2007]

Took a trip to West Ed Mall this Afternoon. Just to search for the Whale itself. Sure enough. It,s placed right in front of Sears in Phase 1. Can,t recall when the last time i was there. However. Had nothing to do but kill time. So decided to make my own Scavenger hunt. Yep. So deserted. Amongst nothing really. So i took a Camera shot with my Cellphone. So next time i go to West Ed. I,ll know where to go.

[@TrickiVicBB71]

Just got yourself another subscriber. I mostly went to West Ed cause my parents shopped at Chinatown. But the few (and I mean few) times I went to other parts of the mall. I always enjoyed seeing the whale and taking pics inside the whale. Sucks what the mall tore it up and put in a dead part of the mall.

I moved to Edmonton in 1989, I worked at Grand and Toy. The only way I knew I was going the right way because I got lost a lot at first, was to look for the whale. Our store was right across from it.

[@TealDobber]

That makes me so sad! I'm glad it's back, although I was not aware of it. But to be removed from its home, and then placed in fake water, never to to be allowed to spray water from its blow hole as it has alway yurned too. That's just torture... for the spectators. Obviously not the statue. I hope one day it is returned to a presentation closer to what was intended, so I can share it with my kids. However, now that I know it is back I will be making a point to see it next time I'm there.

[@2muchcream782]

It’s a real shame that the whale was removed. I remember when I was about 4 or 5 my parents took me and my brother to West Ed from Calgary. I went to throw a penny into the pool but for some reason I didn’t let go and fell into the water. Good times

[@shaneirwin9461]

The bronze whale was set free in 2010 by the 'bronze animal liberation front', who put the whale back where it belongs, in the bronze sea. Sadly though the whale was captured and killed by the Japanese in 2011, cut up and smelted into 4000 tiny whale statues. I have one on a shelf beside me right now. True story!

Saw the gaping maw of the Humpback statue and ran right in - only to get both feet soaked, as there was about six inches of standing water on the floor of it's mouth! :) I've always thought it was a gorgeous piece of art.

[@anthonytraficante9655]

In 2021 it was moved yet again due to Toyota taking that side. The whale is now down the hall just before the TD bank! Theres no water design, just placed on the mall floor

[@kunstlerleben_]

funny story... some friends & i went to see toy story 3 at the theatre in the summer of 2010. the movie let out pretty late, around midnight i think, so the entire mall was closed. we walked past them removing the whale and we all stopped in shock! "you're taking the whale out?!" we shouted up at the workers. they told us it will probably be put back, but it did take quite a few years. the ending of the video is hilarious, because that area is so quiet and it's true barely anyone goes over there!!

[@EthanLettuce]

Now that the rec room is in phase 1 hopefully it will be less dead

[@sportsmaster1364]

Can you do a story about how Phase 4 came to be? It still intrigues me how they created the entirely new phase, 14 years after Phase 3 had been completed.

[@doanster]

Agreed. I don't even know how it really qualifies as a 'Phase.' It just occupies the space where a department store (Woodward's, then The Bay) once was...

[@sunflowerhandler]

I have a picture my mother took of me as a toddler in the whale's mouth, a few years before it was moved! I'm lucky to have already known it was back, because I go to DeSerres whenever I'm at WEM. For real though, you're right, _nobody_ goes over in that area of the mall. It's totally dead, especially with Sears gone. Man, the real water looked so much cooler, I never really realised _how_ much cooler it looked! It looked dark and stormy.

[@wclark3196]

Loved the whale. It was one of the many little things that made the mall unique. I was in high school when WEM was being constructed. My friend's father was a senior engineer involved in the project, so I got to hear a lot about it as it was under development. Back when WEM opened, people would travel there from all over the city. We'd go there because most areas, unlike places like Whyte Ave, didn't have shopping streets. They just had local malls (Bonnie Doon, Capilano, and Southgate were my locals at various times). These malls were nothing special, just places to buy stuff you might need. WEM was different. WEM just had...stuff. You could go with no money and just walk around and look at stuff and be around other people. It was as if Edmonton had suddenly developed an interesting neighbourhood. Sure, it was all about sell, but the owners wanted us to want to go there, to be willing to make the trip from anywhere in the city, because it was a fun and interesting place to be. They knew we'd spend more money there, more often, if it was a fun place to go and a place we wanted to stay for a long time. Things like the whale were all part of what made the place special. I haven't been to the mall in more than 30 years and, based on what you're telling me has happened to it, I'm not sure I'd ever go.

[@wakeupscreaming9883]

I do recall coming across the whale in it's new Phase 1 location. I didn't realize it had been moved. Without the water, the sculpture loses some of it's impact, as it really was an illusion the rest of the whale is submerged under water. It's funny people say Phase 1 is a "dead part of the mall". I wonder if WEM is feeling the pinch of online shopping and Amazon? I know many people who live outside Edmonton, who travel there to shop, and they prefer to go to the smaller malls.

[@englishruraldoggynerd]

People.... the administrators.... of public spaces never value art properly and see the benefits and inspiration that these pieces can invest. It’s beyond tragic and also ridiculous that they moved it from its pool, never got the pump working to spout water as the artist designed, and have instead installed it completely inappropriately and inadequately with the most artificial water I’ve ever had the misfortune to see. It’s completely lost it’s impact, it’s measured countenance, and it’s purpose instead now looking rather ridiculous and sad. It desperately needed water around it to bring it to life, and give a three dimensional value to the two component parts. What the heck were they thinking? Or not thinking as it’s apparent that the people responsible have no clue about staging, and about mystery, and imagination, and heritage. Of all the fascinating things that I have seen on this series, this is the one which upsets me the most. All because Victoria’s Secret didn’t want it’s brand ‘tarnished’ by the linked images of frilly knickers and beached whales. When you stop giggling at that thought..... what is more important?

[@rob379lqz]

Yup... my high school band played at the oil rig... and for sure always knew the whale you could walk down into. I never went into the whale though.

[@d3ci.b3L]

For some reason, I thought the whale used to be closer to the Sea Lion's Rock (formerly dolphin tank) before it was moved to the area near LA Senza. But my memory is a bit hazy on that. The mall has been through so many changes since the 1980s. Used to have water arches in the food court closest to the golf course, and there were originally lights on the escalator railings, and specialty shops. One of which you could get a photo with a cardboard cutout of Wayne Gretzky (or a number of other celebs, I think). Man, that mall used to be filled with all kinds of novelty shops. Johnny Rockets is another place that comes to mind. Now the mall is just a big shopping center with some attractions, which don't even feel like they're a part of the mall. Even the fountain at Europa Boulevard barely has water flowing from it. I suspect that it one day becomes extinct.
