I miss feeling that heat on the second level

[@lancehymers4674]

My buddy and I were there for the opening - I remember that, until they turned down the flame, you really did feel as if you were about to burst into flame - huge blast of heat on your face, deafening roar, verrrry cool!

[@Chloe-wy7iv]

I remember when I was little I would almost cry because I was scared of it 😂

[@sayastra]

My cousin as well, she named it Sunpine and thought it ate kids

[@emilywilliams7705]

Chloe I would scream when I saw it sometimes

[@poopythicckums2232]

One of my first memories of was when my parents took me there and I saw it and started screaming 💀

[@reedl2763]

Same I have a faint memory of it because i was like 6 years old and it always scared the shit out of me i dont even know what it was like, Im 13 now so it would have been in like 2013

[@aidanhammans9337]

I actually found the light pillars scary, you know, the ones on the first and second floors of phase 4

[@sammylollollol]

They honestly should have recreated the dragon just as a statue it would be wonderful

[@onewhitedude]

Or with newer age tech, and they should maybe clean the new dragon's dust every 6 months or 1 year with a very tall ladder

[@jordanallen4751]

the dragon was my favourite, i was so sad when they removed it

[@owellafehr5191]

I miss this old thing. I was 6 years old when it was installed and my dad took me to the theater for the specific purpose of seeing it; it was such a big deal. I was completely terrified of it, and every time that my family would go to see a movie there, my sister and I would run away to hide in the washrooms whenever the dragon started. It certainly gave me quite a few chills! It really is a shame they're taking away so much of the mall's old decor. It definitely takes away a lot of the quirky vintage charm that made the mall so unique and memorable.

[@spyagent]

West Edmonton mall has really fallen, they've been focusing on "modernizing" the mall trying to fit in with every other mall out there, the thing is not following the foot steps of other malls is what made WEM Unique, I also hope that you make a video about the fountain that used to stand at Galaxyland which used to be near the airplanes/haunted house before it was ripped out and replaced with motor jump and the teacups ride, it is disappointing that features like these we're stripped. Especially in Galaxyland, they've taken safety to a whole new level and I personally believe that it has become over the top by adding seatbelts to rides that have secure overhead bars and raising he height limits on just about every ride.

[@LakeNipissing]

Is the fountain you are on about the one with the water jumping from one to another? I have a 1994 Fantasyland video uploaded which shows that briefly... and yes *Fantasyland* was leaps and bounds better than Galaxyland.

[@spyagent]

Yes, that one

[@Lanxee]

SpyAgent 388 Remember when the food court by the Boat used to have a bunch of waterfalls that never worked?

[@spyagent]

Ah yes! I remember

[@abdolhakwik9125]

yeah man i agree! The mall is sad and boring to go too! All its about is money now and no entertainment! Its just busy and everything is crazy expensive! Very disappointed with the changes! I really miss that mall back then! All the designs and decor they had was amazing and it was a good place to chill for hours there but now its a once in a blue moon if i really have to go there, and my max is like 30 min lol!!

[@Revegelance]

I've worked at this theatre since 2002, and I'm still there. It's been really interesting, seeing how things have changed over the years. I, for one, do not miss the dragon. It was just too loud! Just as a bit of clarification: the frequency of the show was never reduced to be every hour. It was a common assumption that it played hourly, but, in my time at the theatre, it was consistently every 20 minutes. That is, when it worked. As time went on, it had more and more downtime between repairs. So yeah, if you're ever at Scotiabank Theatre on a weekday afternoon, and you see Bob there (that's me), come say hi! Bonus Fun Fact: the dragon's name was Excalibur.

[@Jabroniville]

I can't imagine how annoying it would have been to be working while that thing was going on. Every fifteen minutes, you'd have to stop taking people's orders! I only had a pair of shifts there, so I miss the dragon, lol.

[@redber16]

2014 summer it was taken down and if you really want to know, my Brother worked there at the time of it's demolition and basically what happened was it was simply thrown in the garbage, and my brother actually snuck in and took the claw of the dragon, which we've stored as a collectable in our house. The last piece of the dragon, preserved for infinite

[@1st_class_cloud_strife]

I loved the dragon so much. I actually believe it was meant to be a female. A mother dragon protecting her babies. When you go down the hallway to the left where all the other theatres are (not including 1 and 2) there's a smaller concession stand with 2 baby dragons on top. They're only shown from the neck up. Even though momma is gone the babies are still there.

[@imsuchvoltrash9662]

I was three or four, I'm surprised that I remember it, but I was so terrified of it. My parents had to take me out of the theatre. They only took me to the theatre for that purpose.

That dragon scared me so much every time I felt the heat I though that was it, I was gonna burn to death

[@bw5530]

I worked at the mall in 2010. Was super sad to see all the abandoned attractions that made the mall what it was. Being there in 2010 was nothing like it was in 1992 on a family vacation. I can only imagine now how much more depressing the malls become.

[@northernselfreliance6943]

I miss how awesome the mall used to be. Standing on the second level at the top of the escalator and feeling the heat from the dragon. I miss the awesome marble statues of the food court. I miss how interesting and unique the mall used to be. Now i hardly ever go there. They need to do something unique with the mall again.

[@LamanKnight]

Yes. I'm going to miss that thing.

[@chonkeyshonkey]

This movie theater used to be really busy. But now it's pretty quite and kinda deserted.

[@maeganclemo461]

[@sabi9922]

[@blahman1able]

yeah im from the next province over and i now have no reason to show up at that theatre anymore, no dragon, no reason to go.

[@codylabelle3739]

[@amyguilderson1038]

I remember going to WEM when I was a kid just to see the dragon every time ... it is sad that it's gone. I just found that out from this video :-(

[@masteryoshi7121]

I say they should have rebuilt the Dragon to be better then before and more future proof. I'm sure the theater made MORE the enough money over those 15 years to make that happen. I guess they think we don't want cool attractions anymore? So sad!

[@tashabanack2807]

They know we want cool attractions, they just want us to pay to see them. Then it just becomes another excuse to jack up ticket prices even more.

[@boolou127]

I stumbled upon your channel and love your videos! My dad and I used to go to WEM when I was little all the time and the main attractions for me were the whale, dragon and the submarines! Now all of which are gone or have moved. It was really sad to me because we went in the summer here of 2017 with my kids and I was excited to show them what had me in awe but sadly I couldn’t pass that childhood memory on. I read a comment about modernizing the mall and it’s so true. They’re working so hard to make it “fit in” when the best aspect of the mall was how it stood out so uniquely. Still a great place to go to but sad to see some attractions are gone.

[@BestEdmontonMall]

Check out the sequel video (WAY BETTER)! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g37EnYFnnZyYa6c We goofed! We said the dragon stopped breathing fire 5 years after 2005... then said that year was still 2005, but we were supposed to say 2010! ( We'll practice our math, we promise! )

[@iLiveExtreme]

That's a relief. You gave me small existential crisis, I could have sworn I saw the dragon breathing fire around 2007-08 when I was first learning to skate at the Ice Palace. I really miss the dragon :( very iconic to my childhood

[@demonhorse103]

thats a relief cause i remember the dragon was still breathing back in 2010 when the first how to train your dragon movie came out, me and my friend went and watched it that day, saw it in imax and we were right on that balcony when it blew the fire, i sorta wishes i had marshmellows at the time

[@RoddThunderheart]

I never really knew the story about the dragon, I just noticed it wasn't there any more. And I'll check the channel out more, but maybe I'll find out why they stopped the fountains everywhere. I have to admit that aside from Playdium closing, the shutting down of the fountains for me was the day the mall truly transformed into a cold place of capitalism. No longer was it a place for people to enjoy going out... Funny thing, my girlfriend was so happy Victoria's Secret came to the mall. I wasn't, especially because I knew what it cost. The whale fountain. It was removed (again same with the fountain) in order to give families a place sit and relax while mommy went shopping for lingerie. I was mildly happy they replaced it in phase 1 but the placement didn't change my melancholy. You see as a teen I had my first kiss in the whales mouth. Despite how wrong that sounded it was with girl I chased to White Rock. While it didn't well the kiss I never forgot. Shortly after I noticed they were covering the fountains and were closing them all. I get why, likely for the same as the dragon, the costs of running the fountains. But like the dragon disappearing, the fountains, Playdium closed and revamping of Bourbon Street to me a trip to the mall is no longer a fun trip to a giant arcade or theater or just food fair along with fountains. To me the mall is now just a cold place to buy stuff now devoid of anything that made a trip to the mall fun...

[@dnb5661]

They used the same software for 15 years? On windows 95?

[@brycelindseth5965]

I remember around 2010 2011 they were looking for an automation company to continue servicing it. It was a one off and I believe the original company was from Denver and had gone out of business. Its not like getting an alarm company to take over an existing system. For someone else to figure it out would cost a fortune

[@superWTF64lol]

Cool story, West Edmonton Mall actually gave my family their theatrical poster of Spider-Man 2, they were about to throw it out at the end of its release so we asked for it instead. It was 2 stories high and we had it hung up in our house for 10 years, but eventually we thrown it out. Today, I search for a new grand sized movie poster to replace it with, and you can't really find that stuff anywhere. I scoff at the ones you try to buy online, they are ripoffs that come nowhere near the dimensions of the old poster and cant capture its glory and splendor

[@TheMapler1]

In fact, I have watched it from the ultra Avx balcony, it was like hell up there

[@grizzly9960]

I was there. Star Wars Episode One Opening day. The Dragon was awesome!

[@Jazzboy195]

Man, my dad was one of the local pyrotechnicians who used to work on it from time to time. I remember the music always freaked me out. Definitely miss it now that i've grown up though.

*gone but not forgotten*

[@Some_Kong]

I always nicknamed the dragon Big Ed for some reason

[@MrDjtrott]

I remember back in 2005 when I lived in Edmonton i remember seeing the dragon for the first time from the second floor it was pretty cool it started every 15 mins so sad it’s gone I just recently move back to Edmonton n wanted to go see it didn’t no it was gone

[@revertinotse8582]

When i used to watch movies at West Ed. Going to the concessions stand. I would stand by the entrance just to stare at the Dragon as he blows fire. Now i don.t go to see movies there. When i was there. Sure enough. The Dragon was gone. Times change.

[@angeleenax4363]

I remember as a kid I loved going to the theatre just to watch the dragon, now it’s gone and I have new younger siblings that will never get to see the dragon ever kinda makes me feel sad. It was such a great part of the mall that’s now gone form the future of the new generation’s lives. :(

[@T_Gh0sty]

That dragon was my FAVORITE part of that mall when I was younger... I do sometimes wonder if they have the endoskeleton of the dragon stored somewhere for just in case. They should probably add more unique style back into the mall because that was what made it so popular and now the only thing that they seem to have that you don't see in other malls is Bubba Gump shrimp and the huge Lego store. And they removed one of my favorite stores collector's edge and turned it into a Christian book store for a while until the part was completely removed.

[@TanDellTacoGaming]

That dragon scared the shit out of me as a kid.

[@nintendork900]

Almost all of the decorations in my local silvercity are gone now. All that's left is a few planes and a submarine. (We used to have king Kong, An Eiffel tower, a large spiderweb with bugs. A search light, and a few other things. Sad cineplex hasn't properly maintained silver city theatres.

Where is this SilverCity?

[@prod780]

Glad I got to witness the dragon when I was 3-4 years old,the memories are still with me today, I would cry every time it started breathing fire

[@honifriends9391]

I literally cried when I watched this. I loved Excalibur. The heat from her breath felt amazing. I use to work as a student at Anthony's which also no longer exists. Why would someone give instructions to destroy the dragon?

I still can't believe its gone.... what a huge part of my childhood!

[@erinmiller4543]

This honestly breaks my heart. That dragon was such a big part of my childhood whenever we went South for a trip to the big city! I didn't actually know until watching this that he had been completely removed.

[@kevbot96]

I really miss the dragon and everything that was strip from the silver city theatre.. I remember as a kid I was so scared but mesmerized by the whole fire show. The music, lights, and effects all still hold such a fond memory in my heart and I was that one day it would come back

[@dayne6597]

Took me 10yrs, but I DID finally make it up the stairs, to the line, to see the fire blown directly at my face.

[@samr4899]

In 2005 my family took our first trip to Edmonton. We stayed at fantasyland and had so many good memories. One of which was that we were so excited to see the animatronic dragon. We live in a small town that has nothing like it. We climbed the stairs and were basically leaning over the rail at it in awe. That was until it breathed fire. We screamed. My dad pushed my mom, sister, and me in his attempt to run away. We laugh about it now but at 10 it was terrifying.

My Language Arts teacher was talking about this dragon at the theater at wem, I never knew what she was talking about until now.

I also went there for deathly hallows and i dont remember the dragon operating? Maybe we had missed the show for that hour but im not sure because i cant remember how long we waited until it was time for the movie and if the dragon activated i wouldve remembered as it was a huge element of my early childhood and every time we went to WEM my parents took me to the theater area JUST to see the dragon

[@mamaspooks]

I’m so sad that the dragon is gone but I feel honoured knowing that I was one of the last people to see the dragon in action. I danced with the Edmonton Rush Lacrosse Team in 2010-2011 and got to shoot my calendar photoshoot with the dragon. We had to be there really early in the morning to shoot and they turned the dragon in just for us. It was so cool to be the only ones in the theatre with the dragon. I’ll never forget it. I miss that guy.

[@__.libellule.__1939]

I've seen the dragon more than once when I was really little. I live far from Edmonton so I haven't seen it much, but every time I saw it, it was always memorable

[@ethanpaul1865]

I always wondered why they removed it, and now I know. Happy I stumbled across your channel.

[@NalaLeaf]

I just stumbled across this while looking into the mall since my parents used to take me here every year as an american to visit family on my dad's side. Over time we stopped going because the trip started becoming too expensive and my grandparents ended up passing. I've never been so depressed about this dragon that used to scare me from it breathing fire. Kinda wish I could go back in time to experience the dragon's show again. I remember watching night at the museum and getting the fire blown right at me while walking into the theater. Good times. I absolutely would have crowd funded to keep the dragon. It looks so empty and bare up there in the video. At least put something in it's place???? I've been planning on going back as an adult and taking my significant other with me but... man this really is an experience I can't share anymore :(

[@sisidanielle9199]

I lived in the neighborhood of the mall from about age 5 to 15 so I spent a lot of time at the mall as a kid. I remember the dragon and all the other cool attractions there that really made the mall special. I used to go and just walk around and look at everything. It's been disappointing over the years seeing it all disappear into something super modern. Even though I still live in Edmonton I rarely go to wem any more because there's nothing that really draws me in any more, it's just another giant mall now. Thanks so much for these cool videos it's been really nice reminiscing. :)

[@rrocky6220]

There was a poll in the Edmonton Journal once. On a typical weekend, the poll indicated that MAYBE 5% of people in the mall (not necessarily shoppers) were from the central Alberta area. Between the lack of character and the prices there, seems that locals stay away.

[@kiddfaith4397]

I remember that dragon! It was amazing, but the longer and longer it was there, the more frequently it was turned off for maintenance. The last time I saw it, after it had been permanently shut down, the rubber of the neck had decayed so badly that the base of the neck had detached from the body and was sagging badly.

[@johnvosh1986]

I have lived in Stony Plain for 10.5 years now and I remember when my dad had first taken me to the mall to show me the dragon (I'm 32). We were lucky and it was still breathing fire then. He took me to the second level and there was line you were suppose to stand behind. The heat coming from the flame was crazy. I also remember there being a burger king in the theatre and it would cost over $10 for a combo and that the concession stand was in the middle. I really hate how they have changed the mall, it used to be so much better. They had all those fish tanks at the Tim Horton's on the second level, the flamingo's.... and then they just disappeared. My young nieces will never know how cool the mall was, only how uncool it is now. I also remember visiting West Ed in the early 2000's and they had a go-kart laser tag which was so much fun!
