[URBAN NOTE] "CN Tower EdgeWalk: How far you willing to go for a thrill?"

[rfmcdonald]

I am so going to do this.

The CN Tower is adding a new attraction that will let thrill seekers walk on a narrow ledge around the top of the tower, 356 metres above the ground.

Participants in the so-called EdgeWalk will walk hands-free while attached to an overhead safety harness.

Specially trained guides will encourage visitors to push their personal limits, even allowing them to lean out 116 storeys above the city.

"EdgeWalk is both thrilling and unique and will push visitors to their limits -- literally and figuratively," said Mark Laroche, president and CEO of Canada Lands Company, which owns and operates the CN Tower.

Reports say the EdgeWalk, which will begin on Aug.1, will cost $175.
