As they announced via their Clifton Hill Resorts Update survey, HOCO Limited is planning a Titanic-related attraction on Clifton Hill. As another commenter noted, there is a Titanic attraction in Branson, Missouri and based on some of the pictures in the survey, it appears that this is the same sort of attraction. A quick search of the Internet shows that people are generally quite impressed with the Branson attraction. The only complain seemed to be about the price (more on that later).
The survey asked some general question about your history coming to Niagara Falls, and then presented a variety of images that showed some pictures and described the potential attraction. I took screenshots of the pictures:
HOCO always does a great job with their attractions, so I’m sure that this one will be equally good. Someone left a comment wondering what the Titanic had to do with Niagara Falls and someone responded that it had nothing to do with Niagara Falls, but nothing else on Clifton Hill does either. I agree. If everything in Niagara Falls had to do with Niagara Falls, people would get bored. Ultimately they are looking for good-quality family attractions. I’d also guess that the Titanic doesn’t have much of a connection to Branson either, but the attraction does well there.
As I mentioned earlier, the biggest complaint out there seems to be about the price. The individual cost for an adult is in the range of $20. That does seem rather pricey. However, HOCO already has plans to integrate this with their Fun Pass.
I’ve always thought the Fun Pass is the best value on Clifton Hill. If you plan on going on the SkyWheel and just do one other thing, then it’s a no-brainer. The plan right now is to increase the price of the Fun Pass by $10 to include the Titanic attraction. That seems quite reasonable.
As has been noted in other comments, HOCO isn’t taking down the Quality Inn yet, so it’ll be at least a year before this attraction is even started. There is no indication yet if this will be the next development, or what other plans there are. The question is, does this fit in with HOCO’s future amusement park plans? They haven’t said for sure, but it seems doubtful.

THis seems to be the exact same Titanic attraction that was at the Ontario Science Centre all summer. You’re right - a $10 add-on to the Fun Pass to see this attraction is a great deal.
Completely off topic, but does anyone have a link (or web address) for that survey you’ve been talking about? Cause it seems interesting. Please and Thanks.
Also you would be pleased to know that Marineland is (supposed to) be finally starting the aquarium terrors section. Hopefully it’ll be done by ‘09.
I think we hold one thing in common with the Titanic. The top grossing movie of all-time and watched by millions around the world was named Titanic, it was directed by James Cameron who grew up and went to school right here in Niagara Falls. That’s not bad! I’m sure he will help break ground or be involved somehow with the opening.
I think the Pilgrim Restaurant on Clifton Hill has been closed for a few weeks, and they were taking out kitchen equipment today.
I hope your right Chris, but we will all believe the Marineland development when it is done!
WOW I think this will be a fabulous addition to the Clifton Hill area but I sure hope this is not a replacement for the amusement park idea…..I really want to see a couple roller coasters and some thrill rides in all that empty HOCO parkland since Marineland is so slow to add good rides & attractions!
Pilgrim closed on Sunday October 14.
Rumuors have been swirling and with absolutely no confirmation I have heard mentioned an East Side Mario’s, Baskin Robbins, and dare I say the “M” word… McDonald’s!! Again not great sources but it’s just what I hear. I know Sue has some sources as well… have you heard anything Sue?
Stec…what is your website about?
hey, other people, i’m bored. but i have some news. That Marineland thing is correct! i would love to see that thing when it opens in 2010. The website i went to (forgot name, google link) said it will be open and ready in 2010.
Off topic, but who hear knows where you can buy a good 3d puzzle? My collection needs a couple more. I’ve been to zellers, wal-mart, and toysrus, none has the ones i don’t have have. Thanks.
My website is just a general forum with people from all over the world…..a real close, fun & caring community that about sums it up lol.
i’m heading back next tuesday for a couple days dan..i’ll see what i can find out..i know my friend was invited to the closing party for the staff etc of the restaurant..
So what happened to this Titanic attraction did it end up just another Titanic let down!?
I don’t think anything was decided yet. It was sent out to see what interest there was. Who knows… it may never come. But if it does come, it would probably take a couple of years before it was open.
