All things Niagara Falls tourism…
Someone with a Blogger blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls:
70 bucks later for a so-so dinner, we headed back into Niagara Falls proper, found our regular parking spot, now a few dollars cheaper than the w/e. Rich and Austin parked in a spot for viewing the fireworks and Q, Kay and I went a walkin’. We walked Clifton Hill I think it is where all the expensive touristy stuff is like Brontosaurus Play Place, Ripley’s Believe or Not, WWE, wax museums, etc., etc.
Someone with a LiveJournal blog (who happens to be trying to lose weight) was recently in Niagara Falls:
Sunday:
-Wake up at 6:45
-Leave by 7:00
-Stop at the Hungry Bear restaurant for breakfast (around 8:00)
-Stop in Port Severn for a look at the cool railroad (on my parents insistance) ~10:00
-Arrive in Niagara ~ 2:00
-Go for a swim, settle into our hotel room, get ready for supper
-Supper at the Skylon Tower at 5:00
-Visit Clifton Hill until fireworks display ~ 10:00 (I’m guessing)
-Enjoy in-room hot tub before bed (yay!)
Last Thursday I received the latest newsletter from the Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview & Spa.

From the Buffalo News:
As if the falls isn’t enough, this city’s latest tourist attraction takes visitors back 10,000 years to the falls creation.
The $7 million Niagara’s Fury, a Universal Studios style theater attraction, recreates the Ice Age formation of the falls with shattering glaciers, chilling blizzards and thunderous lightning storms on a 360-degree screen.
Inside the theater housing Niagara’s Fury people stand on a 33-foot-wide platform and hold onto rails as the mesh metal floor shakes and bubbles up with water and ice. The temperature drops 35 degrees. Rain and snow fall, and the wind howls with deafening sound effects.
After the geological upheaval, spectators are virtually swept up in a high speed flight down the Niagara Gorge, over the top of the falls, and, circling back, down the roaring cascades themselves.
The Harley event in Niagara Falls was this past weekend. WIVB Channel 4 out of Buffalo has a blurb about it along with a video.
From Niagara This Week:
It seems as if nothing will stop Americans from coming.
Over the Independence Day long weekend, Clifton Hill was buzzing with tourists, and many who made the drive said they weren’t deterred by anything.
Bob Culver, who runs a trucking company in Ohio, said nothing was going to stop him from bringing his family to the Cataract City.
“Even if the gas was $7 a gallon I would still come,” Culver said, standing with his wife, Linda, and their daughter, Sarah, next to the falls.
