Why stay near Mindbender

Mindbender was a steel, triple-loop indoor roller coaster inside Galaxyland at West Edmonton Mall. It opened in 1985 and, at 44.2 metres tall, was long billed as the world’s tallest indoor roller coaster. For decades it was the mall’s headline thrill ride and a reference point for Edmonton itself. The key thing to know now is that Mindbender is permanently closed: it was decommissioned on January 30, 2023 and has since been removed. People still search for it because of its long run and reputation, and because they’re often booking hotels near where the ride used to be inside West Edmonton Mall.
