Thrill to the top of the world in only 58 seconds! Six high-speed glass-fronted elevators give you a breath-taking view as you race upwards at 22 kilometres (15 miles) per hour! Lifting off April 9, 2008, the CN Tower introduced North America's first and the world's highest glass floor paneled elevators. Three glass-fronted elevators now offer a thrilling new perspective on the view 346m (1,136 ft) straight down through two glass panels in a portion of each elevator floor. Combined these two panels represent almost 6ft2 of the total 39.25ft2 of elevator floor space. The CN Tower (French: Tour CN) is a 553.33 m-high (1,815.4 ft) concrete communications and observation tower in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Built on the former Railway Lands, it was completed in 1976, becoming the world's tallest free-standing structure and world's tallest tower at the time. It held both records for 34 years until the completion of Burj Khalifa and Canton Tower in 2010. Since then, it became the 3rd tallest tower in the world and remains the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere, a signature icon of Toronto's skyline, and a symbol of Canada, attracting more than two million international visitors annually.
