The most notable new addition to the Niagara Falls skyline this year was the Niagara SkyWheel. Built where the Golden Griddle on Clifton Hill used to be, it can be seen from miles around. It provides an excellent view of the Falls, along with a great view of many of the surround attractions and hotels.
I reported extensively during the construction as progress was made, and have been up it 3 or 4 times. I just noticed the other day that I hadn’t posted my pictures from a couple of the trips. Here are a few samples:
I’ve posted 59 pictures to the Niagara SkyWheel in Summer 2006 section of the Niagara Falls Image Gallery. There are pictures from 2 trips taken a week or two apart. There are pictures of the plaza/courtyard around the wheel, pictures from a gondola (it had rained so the pictures aren’t as good as I would have liked), pictures at dusk, and pictures at night.
As a side note, there are now 1,991 images in the gallery!
