The Niagara Falls Review is reporting what we reported a few weeks ago… Jay Cochrane is coming back to Niagara Falls:
Thrillseekers rejoice. The Jay Cochrane show is back in town.
The world’s oldest and most decorated wirewalker is getting ready for another summer above the city. The 63-year-old Canadian showman will walk a tightrope near the Skylon Tower twice a day, starting June 30.
It marks Cochrane’s third summer in six years in Niagara Falls, and follows a record-setting performance two years ago when he walked a wire from the Niagara Fallsview Casino hotel to the Skylon Tower – the longest and highest wirewalk ever attempted in North America.
This time, the North Bay-born ‘Prince of the Air’ will walk between two specially constructed 20-storey towers near the Fallsview area and Skylon Tower.
“I want to do something more intimate,” he said Thursday, in town to scout locations. “Kind of like what I did the first time.”
