Elevator at the CN Tower Skypod (Going UP - Otis)

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).

@funstuffaweek There's 8 cables... Only one is needed to support the elevator. Also, I believe the elevators are checked regularly, so the case of an elevator going out of order is very very rare. :)
