These elevators are not the fastest in Toronto, but they are quite impressive nevertheless. Many of the elevators at the CN Tower feature glass floors to increase the thrill of the elevator journey. These elevators reach a top speed of 6 metres per second or 21.6 km/h (13.5 mph).

  • Does the elevator have A/C ? I see a white device above the floor display that looks like a thermostat.

  • what is the fastest elevator in toronto

  • Probably either Commerce Court North or the TD Centre.

  • the sears tower should invest in making one of its elevators a freefall drop ride...without telling anyone inside

  • In addition, those would be recategorized as amusement rides and thus would have to be inspected daily. Interestingly enough, the elevators at the CN Tower are already classified as such even though they travel 2 m/s (4.44 mph) slower. Meanwhile, the admission price for both places is about the same.
