At 553.3 metres, the CN Tower is the world's tallest free standing building. Located in downtown Toronto and open daily to serve the 1,600,000 people who visit it annually. Most come for the view from the SkyPod, two-thirds of the way up the tower, accessible via exterior high speed elevators that travel upwards at the rate of 360 metres per minute. From the SkyPod, you can enjoy the view from either enclosed or outdoor observation decks. One of the most dramatic ways of seeing the world from the tower, if you're bold enough, is from the exterior, glass-floored observation deck, located 342 metres above ground. Naturally enough, the glass floor is strongly over-built. The glass floor will hold the weight of 14 hippopotamuses.
How they got those 14 hippo's there? Seriously, i've been there too and view is great, it was a bit windy outside and my wife-to-be wasn't so thrilled, but i enjoyed. But no way i would do what that guy is doing in photo, i was excited just to use the elevator!
Nice city otherwise too, Toronto.
