All things Niagara Falls tourism…
This is a smaller construction update than normal, but here are a few pictures:
Bronto’s Adventure Playland looks like it is almost ready
They are starting to put the roof on the former Pilgrim Restaurant (future East Side Mario’s?)
The sidewalk along Victoria Avenue used to have large rocks periodically along the edge that you could sit on. They’ve taken them out and put down sod
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Seasons tickets and family passes for Niagara Parks Commission attractions are going on sale May 5.
Niagara Falls & Great Gorge Adventure passes cost $39.95 for adults and $24.95 for children aged 6-12. This year, season passes are available for an additional $10 per person.
The photo ID card will be sold at Table Rock and the Niagara Parks licensing officer at Rapidsview Park (across from Marineland) from May 5-Sept. 1.
So… the season’s pass is a good idea, but no Niagara’s Fury pass with the Adventure Pass?!
From the Thrill Network:
One of the most spectacular, dramatic and immersive attractions in the world comes to Niagara Falls this summer. Premiering in June 2008, The Niagara Parks Commission’s Niagara’s Fury™ lets you experience the extreme, violent and beautiful birth of Niagara Falls in a way you’ve never dreamed possible.
After unveiling Niagara’s Fury™ to employees earlier this week through an interactive presentation, The Niagara Parks Commission is now letting the secret out about its new, multi-million dollar attraction.
“You’ll feel and appreciate the wonder of nature in a whole new way when you experience Niagara’s Fury™. We assembled a team of international experts on attractions, animation and special effects, to create this one-of-a-kind extreme experience. We can’t wait for our guests to come and see if they will survive the Fury this summer” said Jim Williams, Chairman of The Niagara Parks Commission.
From Newsweek:
The first European to see Niagara falls didn’t enjoy it. “When one stands near the Fall,” wrote Father Louis Hennepin (who did so in 1678), “and looks down into this most dreadful Gulph, one is seized with Horror.” If you’ve ever been there, you may know the feeling. Mount Everest or the Grand Canyon may also inspire that sense of mingled awe, terror and human insignificance the Romantics called the sublime. But unlike those places, Niagara Falls is unceasing, deafening, destructive motion—one of these centuries, in fact, it will destroy itself.
