There may be bigger malls, There may be better malls... But there is only one _Best_ Edmonton Mall and at the end of the day, that's what matters the most. Godspeed and namaste
Very well done video, and the room décor is excellent! The anchor outside of the corner window still fits the theme. But losing the Jacuzzi view of the waterpark through the huge, triangular window which this room used to provide... that is an irreplaceable loss. The new theme is simply amazing, but could it have worked if a standard (non theme) room 538, 638, 738 etc. with similar layout was renovated instead, without losing the Jacuzzi view of the waterpark? Now with the new layout with the Jacuzzi in the corner, the waterpark window is just 'there'.
We'll be staying here soon! After watching your space theme room video, I showed my husband LOL and we decided we needed a West Ed vacation. We booked that right away, and then as I was booking, the pirate room popped up! It wasn't there before when I was browsing, so it literally must have been made available. How cool that you were the first to stay. We've ended up booking another night so we could stay in the pirate room hehe. I am very excited :D Great vid! Loved the ending hehe.
I must say great channel. Your videos really bring me back to when I was a kid and my parents would take me to the West Edmonton Mall and thinking it was the greatest place on earth. Many fond memories. The mall just isn’t the same anymore. Here’s a potential video idea. It might be nothing but I remember wandering off on my own (times were different then, parents didn’t have much to worry about) in Fantasyland. If memory serves me correct, right by the train ride entrance there was an escalator that took you to this area of the mall that didn’t get much traffic. Maybe it was just the times we visited but there never seemed to have lights on and the shops often were closed. I remember a little Chinese food stand and it really smelled of deep fried foods. There was also a collectors store up there that sold cards and Star Wars figures. There was also some kind of McDonald’s themed play area possibly for birthday parties. Definitely a strange little part of the mall. I just remember being fascinated by this less than extravagant area of the mall as a kid. Why was it dark? Why is everything closed all the time? Why does it always smell deep fried? Maybe it’s not worth a video. Do you remember this part?
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! I've never been this excited for a theme room before! Lucky BEM got first dibs too! Hope you were able to escape the tentacled creature before the next guest's reservation.
I really wish I had a chance to stay in the old beach theme room, but hey the new pirate theme is good too, but I wish they kept the tub/ Jacuzzi next to the window, that really made the room
Is it a good idea to deem the pirate "Jack Sparrow" ?? Specially when Disney already threatened the Mall with a lawsuit to rename FantasyLand back in 1994? lol
I actually wondered this too, considered the earlier lawsuit. It is interesting to me they chose to make a pirate that looks like Jack LOL. I'm sure they covered their legal basis, I'm just wondering why they did that. Is it a little nod to Disney, is it a little middler finger to Disney ... ? LOL. 🤷♀️ Either way ... Gotta love it when mannequins suddenly appear and freak you out haha.
I'm glad you did this video because I went to the hotel to ask about the room and at the time they were under renovations so I'll have to go check it out now that its done
I know this may sound a little odd, but when they were redoing the pool floor and cabanas. I went to guest services and specifically asked if they were going to be redoing room 438. They made a few phone calls and told me they would let me know next time I came to visit... I guess they did :D
I love the effects near the end of the video. Great work on those! It's nice to see a new style in that room. I like it more then the old one. I just really love WEM, and I also love Kung Fu. Is there anyway you can make a torrent that your fans can seed of Paper Marriage?
that is an amazing room, i was wondering what it looked it, i didn't realize that it was the old waterpark view room, i tried to stay in the waterpark room one time, but dannngg it was expensive
Lost me at putting in bunk beds for kids and making it a family room. Also by moving the Jacuzzi from in front of the window, now makes it a room I would never want to stay in. Kind of sad. Great work on the video though!
I actually remember when me, my two sister stayed in the ocean liner room, and we loved the view of the water park, and I hAve a paint chip of the cruise ship, and it’s in a case, I don’t know why I do, but I do, It’s pointless to keep it I know, but I decided to anyway and to preserve it, I’m wierd like that
The answer depends on if the Pirate Theme Room will be considered a "Theme Room" or a *Luxury* Theme Room" by the FLH. But if you look at the FLH reservation website, it will give you the rate for both... Likely 250$ to 360$, depending on if it is considered "Luxury", weekday vs. weekend, and time of the year. Cheapest time of the year (and best chance of availability for specific theme rooms) is mid-week January and February. At least this has been my experience...
It was built into the wall, and considering the amount of reworking in there, I'd say it's a safe bet that it was scrapped. It was far too big to get through the door anyway... 😞
A short video of the original FLH 438, looking at the waterpark overnight (second half of the video)... th-cam.com/video/7zrw5S9LexM/w-d-xo.html A longer video tour of the original FLH 438, I believe also with a night view of the waterpark... th-cam.com/video/gilpOy-4y3Y/w-d-xo.html
I remember the first time I went to see the original room and I was shocked to see the door open with workers demolishing it. Never expected this lol. Also were you the one who won the first stay in the room from WEM’s Instagram?
It's still there I think by the looks of it.. He just had the blind closed most of the time.. To the right of the big window or left (yours) of the kracken :)
I won't re-write the comment I made above, but will keep it short: agree with both of your comments... and I spent more than 50 nights in the original Waterpark Theme 438.
Has anyone ever told you your voice sounds just like Guybrush Threepwood's in the classic pirate adventure game series Monkey Island? Just thought it was fitting with the room.
@@BestEdmontonMall There's some TH-cam videos of the game with voiceover. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but when you started talking about pirates it dawned on me why your voice always sounded so familiar, lol.
Best Edmonton Mall The Pirate Room was fantastic. My son had a blast. You can see how the window to the water park has been lowered during the renovation to allow a fuller view without that beam blocking it. The next night we booked the superior Roman room, it was super cool as well and the updates done to these Roman rooms are very classy. Both rooms were impeccably clean.
It's so cool that WEM is giving you the opportunity to make these videos.
There may be bigger malls,
There may be better malls...
But there is only one _Best_ Edmonton Mall
and at the end of the day, that's what matters the most.
Godspeed and namaste
There is no better mall.
WEM's gotta be careful with that Jack Sparrow model. They might get sued by Disney again
They can't sue for having a statue of him.
Love 4 the WEM from Colorado. Thanks for introducing me

Woah im going soon im so excited
Awe, I wish it was still the waterpark themed room because I wanted to go there for a staycation but at least it still looks into the waterpark!
I remember first seeing your video on the original room. Can’t wait to see how they redone it!
Waiting on that Playdium vid brotha
This Pirate Ship theme room looks amazing! I wish I lived closer to WEM. I was there waaay back in 1994 and had a blast. Love from Ontario.

I have this room booked for this Friday. Can't wait to see it.

It's just my assumption! They aren't advertising it, lol.
@@BestEdmontonMall it's very obviously him loool

They have a Disney store in the mall. Maybe they’re partners or something now?
I'm glad you did this video because I went to the hotel to ask about the room and at the time they were under renovations so I'll have to go check it out now that its done
I spent my entire life in this mall and I have never stayed in one of these rooms! I know what I’m doing for my birthday!
Honestly gonna miss that old school aesthetic. Had a nice vibe to it.
Now if I'm older I will go to Canada even though is so far
I know this may sound a little odd, but when they were redoing the pool floor and cabanas. I went to guest services and specifically asked if they were going to be redoing room 438. They made a few phone calls and told me they would let me know next time I came to visit... I guess they did :D
Awesome room ! I need to stay there.
while the main selling piece of the window is not as prominent in this room now, the bunk bed makes it a much better value for a young family of four
Another great video! Keep up the great work!
Cool room!
I love the effects near the end of the video. Great work on those! It's nice to see a new style in that room. I like it more then the old one. I just really love WEM, and I also love Kung Fu. Is there anyway you can make a torrent that your fans can seed of Paper Marriage?
Is WEM the only mall with two pirate ships?
I luckily got a night for my birthday! My birthday is in May and my family booked it back in September.
Well I don’t know what to do for my birthday this year because of COVID so ima stay for one night at this room because it looks cool
that is an amazing room, i was wondering what it looked it, i didn't realize that it was the old waterpark view room, i tried to stay in the waterpark room one time, but dannngg it was expensive
anyone know how much this room is? I can't seem to find It on the website
Finally!!
Cool vid
Lost me at putting in bunk beds for kids and making it a family room. Also by moving the Jacuzzi from in front of the window, now makes it a room I would never want to stay in. Kind of sad. Great work on the video though!
How much more do these cost then like a normal room? And are they usually taken? Great video!
I actually remember when me, my two sister stayed in the ocean liner room, and we loved the view of the water park, and I hAve a paint chip of the cruise ship, and it’s in a case, I don’t know why I do, but I do, It’s pointless to keep it I know, but I decided to anyway and to preserve it, I’m wierd like that
Just a tip if you wanna get into this room!
Book a few months before the stay.
Very cool. Any idea of the price per night of this room?
I could literally not find any availability for this room all year. Prices for the other rooms are listed in the booking section on the FLH website.
The answer depends on if the Pirate Theme Room will be considered a "Theme Room" or a *Luxury* Theme Room" by the FLH. But if you look at the FLH reservation website, it will give you the rate for both...
Likely 250$ to 360$, depending on if it is considered "Luxury", weekday vs. weekend, and time of the year.
Cheapest time of the year (and best chance of availability for specific theme rooms) is mid-week January and February. At least this has been my experience...
Like $180 per night
Somebody commented on another video that room isn't listed no more???
Was the giant oceanliner prop demolished or was it salvaged for auction etc?
I would love to have that thing in my living room.
It was built into the wall, and considering the amount of reworking in there, I'd say it's a safe bet that it was scrapped.
It was far too big to get through the door anyway... 😞
Proper shot of the waterpark at night lol

Oh wow, so this was the reason you couldnt reserve this room for the past while hey???
Yup!
Best Edmonton Mall is it available now and how long is the wait?
The Mall has a chapel also.
Where did the water park room move too
I remember the first time I went to see the original room and I was shocked to see the door open with workers demolishing it. Never expected this lol. Also were you the one who won the first stay in the room from WEM’s Instagram?
4:44 . . . You had to do it!! :) :) Don't think you used that footage in the original FLH 438 video!!
No, I did not! LoL
how much did you spend
Greetings from the international space station!
What did they do with the weird window to the roof? It had an anchor or something? They should've put those creepy statues out there
It's still there I think by the looks of it.. He just had the blind closed most of the time.. To the right of the big window or left (yours) of the kracken :)
You should do a vid on Louis Vuitton opening
That is a cool theme but I would have liked to stay in the older one first they shouldn’t have moved the jacuzzi
I won't re-write the comment I made above, but will keep it short: agree with both of your comments... and I spent more than 50 nights in the original Waterpark Theme 438.

Has anyone ever told you your voice sounds just like Guybrush Threepwood's in the classic pirate adventure game series Monkey Island? Just thought it was fitting with the room.
I have not heard that! I only played the early games, and versions without the voice over.
I'm going to have to look this up now!
@@BestEdmontonMall There's some TH-cam videos of the game with voiceover. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but when you started talking about pirates it dawned on me why your voice always sounded so familiar, lol.
We just checked into ROOM 438!
Have fun!

Room 438 is the only Pirate Room.
Guess who's watching Pirates of the Caribbean from the top bunk like the nine year old in me?
JOHNNY DEPP!
Early
This is way worse then the original room
It's ugly
