Every time my partner hears that VCR click at the beginning of your intro she starts yelling, "DODODODODODODODODODODODODODO!" We love you, West Edmonton Mall Guy. Never stop being so awesome.

I miss the mall of the 80s and 90s! I loved Fantasyland so much. Like with your first vid, I am very, very impressed with all your research and footage! I sure appreciate all the time and work you put into all your videos! Seeing old footage of Fantasyland is such a treat!!

Thanks for bringing back my child hood memories. I didn't get to go often as I lived in the deep south east. But man I remember the whale, jumping water, squishing pennies and all the other wonderful attractions throughout in the late 80 and early 90. Thanks for making us 80 babies feeling old. Lol

Awsome videos man, just discovered your channel today! Subsribed. Next time i walk through west ed ill have a better appreciation. I always thought the mall was better when i was a kid (35 years old) i thought it was just because i was a kid. Wow it really has changed. Cant wait for covid to be over so i can take my kids.

That's a big supporter of the channel. He's actually a super great guy and a lot of my productions wouldn't exist without him. I asked him to appear, and he did. I cannot thank him enough for his contributions to my channel.
