Down comes the Falls Tower Ride

This was inevitable… After the arrival of the Niagara SkyWheel this Spring, the Falls Tower Ride managed to make it through one summer season, but now it’s coming down. It has been a fixture on Clifton Hill for ~40 years, but as rides, towers, and hotels popped up along the parkway, it was no longer much of an attraction.

I wonder what is going in there…

As of the time of this posting, the Clifton Hill web site still has an attractions page about the Falls Tower Ride, but it has already been taken off the Fun Pass (the multi-attractions pass) page.

More changes at the Fun House on Clifton Hill

Regular contributor Fallsview emailed me about this…

As you can see, the Fun House on Clifton Hill is having some work done on the facade again. They recently changed it a bit, but I guess there is more to do.

I took this picture yesterday, and when I was by today, there was plywood over the doors.
