The Mindbender, billed as the world’s largest indoor triple-loop rollercoaster, has been shut down for good, West Edmonton Mall’s Galaxyland confirmed on Monday.

The rollercoaster has made its home inside the mall since 1985. Galaxyland said the area the ride was located in will be redeveloped.

The changes to the area started with the decommissioning and removal of the Mindbender, a statement from the mall explained.

“While the Mindbender will be missed, we are excited to announce that we are working on groundbreaking new plans for family thrills that will immerse our guests in an out-of-this-world experience,” the mall’s vice-president of parks and attractions Lori Bethel said.

The ride became infamous in 1986, when on June 14, three people died when the last car jumped the track.

Global's Dan Grummett reports on an up and down legacy.
