Honestly ppl complaining about the price need to travel more! It's very reasonable and even more so if you have a city pass. It's definitely worth paying the extra to go up the extra 33 levels to the sky pod. This is the second time I visited the CN tower. I went once as a kid in 2000 but didn't go up the sky pod because my dad was too tight to pay the extra 12 bucks. Oh believe me I sent him photos!
The 4D movie after has definitely improved I do remember the old one even though I was 12 and remember it being disappointing. Gosh I must have been a miserable child! The couple next to me said they felt the same way as they'd been on similar ones in the states.
