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!

Hey Graham,
The folder for Niagara Skywheel appears empty. Are the pictures located in another folder?
On another note, have you been following construction on the new hotel next to the Greg Frewin theatre?
Dan
I’ve fixed the gallery so everyone can see the pictures.
I was just by the Greg Frewin Theatre the other day and I didn’t notice anything. Are you Referring to the Motel 6?
Hey Graham,
Thanks for the fix, love the gallery.
I was referring to the building which used to hold Mercury Nightclub. The building is on Ellen and McGrail. I’ve seen some shots on skyscrapercity.com but the site has been done for awhile now. I hope you know what I’m talking about - judging by the shots, you would notice some renovating is going on.
That building, on the other side of the theatre parking lot, was originally a dairy (Bordens? Dells?). That is why it had an old fashioned milk bottle at the main entrance. I recall reading some time ago, that it was to be a boutique hotel for the Greg Frewin Theatre.
Here is a link to skyscraperpage, posted on September 15 Fallsview took a couple of shots:
