From the Niagara Falls Review:
What a letdown. Daredevil Days was a disappointment even before it began.
We were promised daredevil Dean Sullivan would be sliding down a 1,000-foot rope, dangling from a helicopter, using only his hands to prevent him from splattering. Instead, he’s rappelling from a crane. And it’s only 200 feet tall.
It doesn’t add up. Maybe if he does it five times, you’ll get your thousand feet.
Daredevil Days, which started last night, is like The Simpsons episode when Bart wins a radio contest whose prize is $10,000 or an elephant. Bart chooses the hoax prize - the elephant. “Where’s my elephant?” he demands.
Where’s my helicopter?

Bravo Corey! Glad you’re not one of those who’s afraid to tell it like it is when it comes to Niagara Falls politics.. which is exactly what Niagara Falls events are. Cogeco Cable 10 interviewed organizers who said they went immediately to Wayne Thomson with the idea. How else do you think they got all the permits?
Also, perhaps next time they should decide what kind of event they’re going to be. Is it a daredevil festival? Is it a busker festival or is it an outdoor concert? Apparently they tried all three and didn’t succeed at any of them. This is what happens when Joe Public tries to pull something like this off without any professional help. You end up looking very amateur. If this town wants a high-profile, world-class destination status like they keep preaching they are, they need to act like one.
I couldn’t have said it any better myself Dee!
