North AmericaB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s largest shopping centre says a popular roller-coaster at its amusement park is being removed after nearly 40 years in operation.
West Edmonton MallB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s vice-president of parks and attractions says in a statement that while the Mindbender will be missed, the mall is excited to announce it is working on new plans for the site.
The Mindbender was known as the worldB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s tallest and longest indoor, triple-loop roller-coaster.
In 1986, three people were killed on the roller-coaster at Galaxyland, which forced the mall to shut it down for a year for safety modifications.
Galaxyland initially opened in 1983, but was known as Fantasyland until 1995.
The park partnered with Hasbro in 2022 and features attractions licensed from the franchise.
