As has been mentioned before, there are several motion simulator rides in Niagara Falls. If you’ve ever been on one of these things, you know how fun they can be. There is a platform with a few rows of chairs. The platform that moves you up and down and around as a movie plays on a big screen in front of you. The platform actually doesn’t move as much as you think it does, but with the movement and the movie, you feel like you are shooting around a bend, bumping into things, and more.
Ripley’s Moving Theatre is at the top of Clifton Hill and is currently showing a version of the Polar Express, the Tom Hanks Christmas animated movie. When the signs went up a few weeks ago, I hadn’t seen the movie, so I didn’t understand how there could be a “4-D” experience, but I’ve since seen the movie. There are some scenes on a train where it is almost like a roller coaster, that I think would make a great motion ride.
