The park had submitted a report to Saskatoon city council in May, seeking approval to install a permanent skyride, similar to those seen at ski hills.

A brand new skyride would cost approximately $1.5 million, buy park officials said at the time there was a six-year-old unit available for sale in London, Ont., for far less.

Park officials said they are continually looking for opportunities to add attractions to the Saskatoon Ex.
