All things Niagara Falls tourism…
This isn’t a great picture because of the glare, but the window display at Movieland has been changed recently. There used to be a hotplate with melted wax in it as if someone were creating something new. That has been taken away, and Brad Pitt figure has been put there instead. The person in the white lab coat is another figure (the creator I guess), and instead of working with the melted wax in the pot on the hotplate, she is now working on Brad Pitt.
From the Earth Times:
The power of the Niagara Falls draws millions of visitors a year in the summer, yet this natural wonder is even more impressive in the wintertime. The cascades are like a jewel in frozen splendour and the relentless mist which rises from them wraps all the trees and buildings around in a thick coat of ice. Amid this glistening, surreal landscape, millions of gallons of green water still thunder over the rocks every second as the Niagara River plunges to a depth of up to 52 metres on the Canadian side. For visitors the icy temperatures have advantages. For a start, there is no need to queue for hours at the kiosks to see the attractions. According to the Canadian Tourist Office, some 15 million people a year take a trip to the Niagara Falls but most of them come in the summer.
This isn’t anything important, but I thought it was kind of funny. This is a sign that was posted on the gate of the new parking lot on Clark Avenue. I had no idea there was a salt shortage! What to do, what to do?! 
Don’t worry, I took this picture a few days ago, and when I was by yesterday, the sign was gone. Crisis averted!
As a side note, the gate used to have markings on it that indicated that it was a Fallsview Casino parking lot. As you can see by the picture, it no longer shows that. I wonder if that means anything…
From the Niagara Falls Review:
The Niagara Parks Commission is keeping a tight lid on details about its upcoming new attraction at Table Rock.
At least, that’s the marketing strategy so far.
The commission has hired St. Catharines-based public relations firm OEB Enterprise to start laying clues about Niagara’s Fury, a new high-tech attraction opening this summer. It’s part of a $38 million revamp underway at Table Rock.
Last week, OEB announced a new website at www.niagarasfury.com that features a black screen and the caption “Niagara’s Fury - Will You Survive? Find out in two weeks.”
More clues will be announced soon before the attraction is unveiled at a media conference.
From Niagara This Week:
Niagara Falls has earned the distinction of being second brightest among the country’s brightest stars in a national lights competition which also measures community spirit and pride.
The city placed second with a score of 90.6 in the WinterLights Celebration’s winner’s circle category, a class for cities that have won the contest before. Stratford won the category while Woodstock placed third in a close race, said Heidi Werner, the operations co-ordinator for Winter Festival of Lights and a member of the city’s WinterLights committee.
