And you thought the Raptors play has been scary

It has always been somewhat ironic that I am a little afraid of heights. Ironic because I am 6′5 and have been tall since I was 12 years old. I have never liked climbing trees or steep hills or even riding on roller coasters. So I know that I won’t be looking to head up the CN Tower anytime soon on their new elevator.

From cbc.ca

After losing its 32-year-old world record for being the tallest freestanding structure on the planet, Toronto’s famed CN Tower is looking to set a new benchmark - but people afraid of heights or elevators should probably avoid what’s being billed the world’s highest glass-floor elevator.

Dubbed a North American first and the highest in the world, the recently completed elevator gives visitors a thrilling new perspective on the city - 346 metres straight down - through two glass-floor panels totalling two metres of floor space.

“At the tower we continually do upgrades to all of our equipment, including elevators and it was time to do an upgrade to this elevator,” Jack Robinson, the tower’s chief operating officer, said - insisting it has nothing to do with losing its claim to fame.

My only question is does someone have to keep cleaning it with windex?
