That's what comes to mind when I see the videos of someone changing a light bulb on a tower: Several people had to be up there without the benefit of all the bolt in it already in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Here's a video of the glass floor panels at the CN Tower. It's this crowded most of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 If the experience of hanging your feet out of a helicopter while restrained by a cabled vest sounds like fun, you might like EdgeWalk. It's a new attraction at the CN Tower that lets you walk around the edge of the main pod of the tower at a height of 1168 ft/356 metres/116 storeys. The experience lasts about 90 minutes, with 30 minutes on the outdoor walk. The price is $195 CAD, which also gets you a keepsake video, printed photos and a certificate of achievement. At this point in my life, I think I've done enough dangerous things that I don't have any good luck left, so I'll leave this kind of experience to folks with a greater need for excitement than me. The sort of ring-shaped structure below is the former Canadian Pacific Railway roundhouse, now the Steam Whistle Brewery. The big white thing is the Skydome, now called the Rogers Centre. It has a retractable roof, seats 53,500 people, and is the home of the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team. It also has concerts. I saw the Rolling Stones there in 1998 during the Bridges to Babylon tour. There are lots of videos of the EdgeWalk, most of them long. This is one of the shortest, at 91 seconds: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 That clip was by a TV show, with just their people in sight. Usually, there are at least a dozen participants, and you can walk all the way around the tower, since the tethers are on individual pulley wheels on the overhead track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you spend just a little more, you get souvenirs to take with you, including beer. The reviews for the tour are pretty good.

I miss it all the time but wanted to hang my leathers up while I was on top. Yea I have a little balance issue. I did love the track experience though. I hung up my leathers up while finishing mid pack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
