The daffodils are coming up nicely along the Niagara Parkway. These pictures were taken along River Road right across from the Falls.

While I was walking yesterday at lunch, I took a lot of pictures. There are now 724 images in 72 galleries. The main thing was that I took a lot of pictures of restaurants. It seems like Niagara Falls has a restaurant every other store front. I’ve taken pictures of Wolfgang Puck Restaurant (it seems…

Motion simulator rides seem to be a popular thing in Niagara Falls. It is essentially a roller coaster experience in a confined space. In Niagara Falls there are at least the following simulator rides: Ripley’s Moving Theater FX Thrill Ride featuring “Robots of Mars” and “Cosmic Coaster” Dino Rampage Dino Island 3D Skylon 4D Theatre…

I added scans of a Movieland brochure to the Niagara Falls Attractions gallery. I added scans of a Zooz brochure to the Other Niagara Region Attractions gallery.

Today at lunch Chris and I went through the Fun House on Clifton Hill. I can’t believe there are companies that charge people for such garbage. It took us about 5-10 minutes to walk through the place. Everything looked kind of grungy and many moving parts squeaked. I was severely underimpressed. Admission is $7.99 for…
