New attraction for Leaf fans at the CN Tower. Edgewalk!
Leaf fans don't get harnesses. Walk it on the outside. This is actually kinda cool.
Starting this summer, thrill-seekers will be able to circle the outside of the Tower's main pod, 116 storeys — 356 metres — above the ground, on a 1.5-metre-wide ledge connected only by a safety harness, it was announced Monday.
"EdgeWalk is both thrilling and unique and will push visitors to their limits — literally and figuratively. This will be among Toronto's, if not the world's, greatest attractions," said Mark Laroche, president and CEO of Canada Lands Company, the owner and operator of the CN Tower.
Officially known as EdgeWalk at the CN Tower, adventure lovers will walk "hands-free" in groups of six to eight while attached to an overhead safety rail via a trolley and harness system. With the help of guides, visitors will even be able to dangle over the edge, leaning back over the city with nothing but air beneath them.
