Galaxy Golf is the large glow-in-the-dark mini-putt on Clifton Hill. It’s been open for a few years now, and during those three years, nothing much new has been done/added. Over the last month or two several small, but nice, changes have been made. The most obvious is the repainting of the 18th hole (what you [...]

From the Niagara Falls Review:
About the only thing faster than Olympic gold medallist Jon Montgomery going downhill on his skeleton is how quickly his popularity across the country has exploded.
From his joyous acceptance of the gold medal to his spontaneous beer-jug hoisting celebration on the streets of Whistler, B.C., Montgomery has become a national icon.

The work in the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum entrance seems to be almost done, and it looks good. This is a picture of a new display they have. Obviously you can’t tell from the picture, but both figures move. There is a man who appears to have 3 legs. In the cage is [...]

From the Niagara Falls Review:
Thought the Olympics closing ceremonies looked familiar? If you’ve seen the Oh Canada Eh dinner show in Niagara Falls, you weren’t imagining things.
From the moose to the lumberjacks to the hockey players, the cheeky celebration of all things Canadiana was like a carbon copy of the award-winning show that has been [...]

As you read on Saturday, I went to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum to see the sword swallower. This was the second year that they did it, and I thought Vanessa Neil was better than Riley Schillaci, last year’s performer. I can’t really explain what I didn’t like about Riley, but she just didn’t [...]

From the Niagara Falls Review:
It’s not a holiday yet, but sword swallowers have made today their own.
World Sword Swallowers Day will see performers send steel down the hatch at more than a dozen Ripley’s Believe It or Not museums throughout the world, including Clifton Hill.
Toronto’s Vanessa Neil does the deed at 2:27 today, symbolic of [...]

From the Niagara Falls Review:
The death of a SeaWorld trainer who was attacked by a killer whale Wednesday has little chance of happening at Marineland in Niagara Falls, a company spokeswoman said.
That’s because Marineland stopped performances with trainers and whales 12 years ago with the opening of its viewing facility Friendship Cove.
“We don’t do routines [...]

Someone with a Blogger blog posted about a recent trip to a Haunted House on Clifton Hill:
…I think there are 4 major haunted houses on Clifton Hill: The Fear Factory, Dracula’s Castle, Frankenstein’s…um, castle (?), and another one that has just as terrifying a name and plays the scary music from Halloween onto the street…
