 A bit of History:  
 
  
  " Tour of the Universe was a space shuttle simulation ride 
located in the basement level of the CN Tower
                              The name of the ride, Tour of the Universe, 
and its content were adapted from a work of the same name
  cowritten in 1980 by Robert Holdstock and Malcolm Edwards
, 
who sold the rights for the ride. 
Construction began in 1984 and the ride began operations in 1986.
  It was built by SimEx of Toronto and was the largest
 scale simulation ride at the time.
   The ride was supposed to occur in the year 2019
 and carried 40 passengers of the shuttle to Jupiter
  after being cleared through a customs area
 in a spaceport deep underneath the tower.
   The shuttle depicted was similar to the US space shuttle,
  but instead of a cargo bay the ship had a passenger compartment
 The launch pad was located at the base of the tower and arrived at a space station.
  
The concept lasted until 1990 and later dismantled.
