“Superman Returns” Countdown at Niagara Falls

    Yesterday I posted my pictures of the lame “Superman Returns” laser logo on Terrapin Point. I said it wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. Well, it seems that depending on when you are there, you’ll see different things. Regular visitor Louise send me a link to the Superman Homepage where they have some…

        Niagara Fallsview Casino in Spring 2006

        I’ll let you in on a little secret… I’ve never been in either Casino Niagara or Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort. It’s just not my thing. But I do have to admit that the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort is gorgeous. The gardens and water features out front are a great place to take pictures. Over the…

          Superman symbol/logo report

          Ok, so I’ve heard several news reports about the Superman “S” symbol/logo being shown on the Horseshoe Falls each night from Saturday to Wednesday starting at 9 pm. Last night I brought the whole family down with the sole purpose of seeing the symbol, and having a nice walk while we were doing it. So…

            A ‘Super’ role for the falls

            I reported previously on the Superman Returns promotion where the Superman “S” logo will be lit up on Niagara Falls. The Buffalo News has a short article with some information on the Niagara Falls scenes from Superman II, a picture of Christopher Reeve during the filming, and an interesting tidbit about how he looked.

              One new restaurant, extra large

              From the Niagara Falls Review: The new Tim Hortons restaurant on Clifton Hill could become the chain’s busiest franchise in the country. The 5,000-square-foot restaurant opened on the Victoria Day long weekend in May. By comparison, the average Tim Hortons outlet is 3,000 square feet. An average store serves more than 1,000 people a day,…

                Niagara Falls in Spring

                Technically Spring ended just 5 days ago, so I’m not really that late… Several weeks ago I took a series of pictures of Niagara Falls in Spring. This is something I try to do each year (Spring 2003, Spring 2004, Spring 2005), and although the pictures generally look the same year to year (the Falls…

                  Ripley’s Wax Zone leaflet

                  One of the newer trends over the last few years is to have visitors to your attraction make a wax hand. The first attraction in Niagara Falls I remember having this was Movieland Wax Museum of Stars. Not too long afterwards Ripley’s added this to their Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum. Essentially you dip…

                    Cirque Niagara video clip

                    This past Friday, WKBW an ABC affiliate out of Buffalo, had a piece on the Cirque Niagara Avaia presentation. The clip shows some scenes from the show, an interview with the owners, as well as some information about the horses. The clip runs about 2 minutes and provides some nice information. View the clip on…

                      A few Saturday observations…

                      A few random observations after being out and around today: This morning was overcast and humid, but it has cleared up this afternoon. There seems to be a lot of people around. Both the Clifton Hill and the Fallsview tourist districts seemed quite busy today. The Golden Griddle at the Imperial Hotel & Suites is…
