Dangit! They removed the whale! Gah!!!!!!!!!

[LakeNipissing]

@chris5342000 Yeah, that was a surprise to find that when I was there in January. They also had the fountains drained and dismantled in the corridor between the Ice Palace and the Submarine lake. Hopefully they don't just deck them over like they did where the whale used to be.

whoa!!!! west edmonton mall has CHANGED! lol, well i mean, there was like NO colour on the slides.... borrrring :)

[LakeNipissing]

Yeah, but the red and purple are slowly peeling off... the Sky Screamer and Nessie's Revenge will soon become tan / beige / ivory (whatever you want to call the color) once again!

The mall was nicer in the 1980s and early 1990s. The emphasis was more on quality than facade. The Pebble Beach mini golf was classy, and beautiful. All of the colorful fiberglass for "Professor Wem" just cheapened it. Don't get me wrong, I still like WEM a lot, but a lot of good things are gone today.

back than people would walk through the mall and smoke as they did their shopping. you wouldn't see that today lol

[CookingEggss]

back then, bourbon street was actually good!

[SaberTanker22]

it seems to me that the 1990's in my little kid day's was the best in the world even the music was good.

@LakeNipissing What was in the whale??

[Barley1020]

@LakeNipissing The purple one will do that with the color, but the red one (Skyscreamer) won't because it was still red and they took it down and put a new slide in!! :D

[Supergordan64]

Oh, shoot. One question, was that a zipline in the waterpark or something else? I can't remmeber if it was there or somewhere else

[Supergordan64]

Ha, I remember back then, the submarines, the cheap theater, the FREE Dolphin show, and all of that extra jazz. One thing I didn't enjoy was all the smoking in the malls, but it wasn't too bad anyways.

Thanks for uploading good memories again.
