From the Niagara Falls Review:
If the traffic jam that clogged Niagara Falls Tourism’s website in recent weeks is any indication, the 2008 season might not be as bad as originally feared.
“We had 7,000 unique visits in a day,” executive director Anna Pierce said Tuesday. “We’ve never had that.”
Pierce made the observation the day after the tourist season was ushered in with wind, lashing rain and temperatures more befitting the March Break than the Victoria Day weekend.
Despite the foul weather that put a wet blanket on dreams of picnics and fireworks, Pierce said some Niagara Falls hotels fared better than expected.
“It wasn’t the best (Victoria Day weekend) we’ve had. But it wasn’t the worst,” Pierce said. “A lot of places were out with their packages, so they did OK with the Toronto market, but others are worried.

I don’t know where to post this, but here’s as good as any.
This Friday, May 23, from 11am-7pm, Great Wolf Lodge is holding a BBQ and car wash (it’s actually the manager raising funds for the Ride to Conquer Cancer, from Toronto to Niagara Falls, that he is involved in). For $25 you get a car wash, 4 waterpark passes and a ballot to win a nights stay. I don’t know if the passes have to be used right then, but it’s still a petty good deal for a worthy cause.
I just went and got one and you have one year to use it but it can not be used in July or August or on Holidays.
It is also only valid fron Sunday-Thursday 2pm-9pm
I think it is still a great deal though!!!!!!
