All things Niagara Falls tourism…
I was at Marineland again on Monday (my 4th time… that $5 extra for a season’s pass is great!) and we saw that there was a new baby Beluga whale. It was born last Thursday (July 19) and seems to be doing well. They haven’t picked a name yet for it. When we were at the underwater viewing area, there were 2 people who were sitting there and were monitoring how often the baby nursed.
I’ve put some pictures up in the 20070723 Baby Beluga gallery.
I also have a short movie you can watch.
I mentioned that on Friday there was a link to my Jay Cochrane Petition in the Niagara Falls Review. I kept checking the petition throughout the day expecting the number of people who “signed” to increase dramatically. However, throughout the day it only grew by a couple of people and I couldn’t understand what was wrong. At about 5 pm I was looking at the paper again and it hit me… the URL was too long, and the publishing system had wrapped it automatically and put in a hyphen ( - ). The people saw the URL had to type it in themselves (since they obviously can’t click on an physical newspaper) and I’m sure they tried to put the hyphen in. Unfortunately, that URL with the hyphen doesn’t exist. Here is the paper.
I contacted the online petition site and asked if they could make both URLs for me, but I never heard back from them. I also contacted the Review with a shorter URL they could put in the paper, but they didn’t get back to me either.
For those who aren’t aware, this all started because a week ago today I saw Jay do one of his skywalks, and it was great. I went home and created the petition. I’ve also created a Jay Cochrane Petition page on the site with a link to the petition and banners to place on your site.
On Monday I received the latest newsletter from the Great Wolf Lodge. They are promoting special rates for August.

This is a strange one, and I’m not really sure where to start, but it does have to do with Niagara Falls. Are you familiar with the term “fursuit“? These are costumes that people where either as mascots, or sometimes just for fun. Well, apparently some people who like to wear them for fun were in Niagara Falls last week on the HOCO properties. One of them, cornwalldragon, blogged about it:
we were greeted by security and told us that we had to leave.
Thinking that crossing the road to the north would be alright and getting ready to go to the Dino Park Mini Putt we were greeted by security again. They told us that the owner was fuming and wanted us off the property right away. So without getting into any arguments we made way back to the wagon.
So apparently these people got into their “fursuits” and wanted to go mini-putting. These people may be very kind and innocent, but come on, how can you think you’d be allowed to be there like that?! A company doesn’t know for sure if you are innocent or a creep preying on children. There is no way they should let you stay dressed like that. It is just common sense if you ask me.
