West Edmonton Mall
Privately Owned Shopping And Entertainment Centre · Edmonton, Alberta
A gigantic shopping and entertainment complex in west Edmonton, opened in 1981, ⚠ THE LARGEST MALL IN NORTH AMERICA AND THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD FROM THE MID-1980s UNTIL 2004. Beyond hundreds of stores it holds Galaxyland, an indoor amusement park with the triple-loop Mindbender roller coaster; World Waterpark, with a huge indoor wave pool and tall slides kept warm through the Alberta winter; an NHL-size ice rink; a lake with a replica of Columbus's ship the Santa Maria; a miniature golf course; cinemas; and the Fantasyland Hotel, known for its themed rooms. The whole thing is indoors, so it is a year-round refuge from winters that regularly drop below minus 30 °C. ⚠ IN 1986 A MINDBENDER CAR DERAILED AND THREE RIDERS WERE KILLED; THE RIDE WAS REBUILT WITH NEW SAFETY SYSTEMS. ⚠ WORLD WATERPARK CLOSES PERIODICALLY FOR MAINTENANCE - CHECK BEFORE PLANNING A POOL DAY.
