From the Niagara Falls Review: Adrenaline junkies won’t have to wait much longer before they get to experience Niagara’s newest attraction — Wildplay’s MistRider ZipLine to the Falls. It opens to the public July 15, but staff have already been testing the four high-speed, side-by-side lines that descend a distance of 670 metres (2,200 feet)…
From Niagara This Week: The long-delayed Canadian Motor Speedway appears to have hit yet another snag on the road to development, but those behind the project remain tight-lipped about any further setbacks. Three key properties which must be purchased before a building permit can be issued remain out of the hands of the developers, and…
The other day I tweeted that the outside of Ripley’s was being painted. As I was looking for some logos for the Ripley’s visit postings, I came across the website for a graphic designer in Orlando who has done a few mock-ups of what it would look like. I don’t know which one they are…
I saw this sign on one of the walls of Ripley’s Believe it or Not! odditorium. Apparently someone wants to put 6 parcels of land into 1 for future development. Since this was on the Ripley’s building, it might be related to them. However it may also be related to some other property on Clifton…

Niagara Falls is NOW OPEN after top-to-bottom renovation Experience the all new “Oddventure” Niagara Falls, Ont. (May 20, 2016) – After experiencing…
From the Niagara Gazette: The welcome mat is out for another tourist season but neither side of the border seems dressed up for the occasion. In fact, at a glance you have the impression neither of the cataract cities was expecting company. For starters, Terrapin Point on Goat Island that overlooks the Horseshoe Falls is…
From Niagara This Week: Oddball items and curiosities are back on display in Niagara Falls, Ont., now that one of the city’s mainstay attractions has reopened following a major modernization. Ripley’s Believe It or Not opened the doors to its so-called “odditorium” Friday after six months of renovations aimed at replacing traditional exhibits with something…

At the request of @chuckfromcanada on Twitter, I’ve taken some pictures so you can see what’s been going on. You can click on each photo to get more details about it. Overall the site…
