Watch Modern Times Wonders - C.N. Tower & Skydome

C.N. TOWER & SKYDOME Located on Lake Ontario, the C.N. Tower looms 553.5 metres into the sky. Four external lifts race upwards at a speed of six metres per second and the rapid journey to the Skypod Platform takes a mere 58 seconds. There is also a special lift to the tower's highest point, the so-called 'Space Deck', which contains the world's highest located observatory. 147 storeys tall and with downward slanting windows, a certain feeling of queasiness is to be expected! Home of the Blue Jays baseball team, the Skydome is a massive multi-purpose building with an extendable 3.2 hectare roof. The huge sports field is fitted with 106 rolls of light green grass and is illuminated by seven hundred and seventy-six 2,000 Watt floodlights. It also boasts the largest scoreboard in the world. The C.N. Tower and Skydome - gigantic constructions that take the breath away and are worth far more than a second glance!
