New attraction for Leaf fans at the CN Tower. Edgewalk!

[Bertuzzied]

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.

+ $100 if you want to ride the elevator up instead of climbing the stairs.

...Unless you buy dinner, which has a flat rate of an additional $140, but it makes the elevator free.

I would totally do this. Looks amazing! Too bad it's pricey...would be tough to convince the girlfriend it's worth it.

[Jordan!]

Eff that noise!!!

[Bigtime]

No thanks! But it does look pretty sweet.

[ken0042]

I imagine it will be something like this...........

[The Goon]

I would totally do this. Just need to distract the wife so she can't say no.

Thanks but no thanks. I went up the CN tower a few months ago when I was in town, and I happened to be the last person allowed onto a packed elevator to the observation deck. Having to go up an elevator with your nose squished against the glass door as you zoom up 1000 feet was queasy enough.

Call me crazy, but I'd do it.

They'll have to make the harnesses a certain way, so jumpers can't undo them.

[RougeUnderoos]

Since it is already built, it woulda been clever to actually use a picture of thing, instead of that ridiculous "artist's rendering".

I don't have a clue how they build something like this, but it seems like an accident wrapped in a package of shaky knees and fainting.
