This 20-second video shows some pictures of when the American Falls were “turned off” in 1969. There are lots of sites that are showing these pictures. Gizmodo is another good place to look as they have a posting with a couple of pictures, a CNN video, as well as other links.
Like many of the attractions on Clifton Hill, I’ve been to Dinosaur Park Miniature Golf lots of times (perhaps a dozen). I went when it was located right on Clifton Hill (before Boston Pizza and the Great Canadian Midway came along), and have played it in its current location. I’ve always thought the grounds were…
A couple of weeks ago I went with my family to Brick City on Clifton Hill. I’ve been there a few times before, and I wasn’t that keen on going, but both of my sons really wanted to go. Even though I had seen almost all of it before, it was still good to go….
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: A seven-year-old girl’s hesitation on taking a spin on the Sky Screamer at Marineland netted a Niagara Falls family a trip of a lifetime. Late last September, the Atkinson family – dad Tim, mom Ann Marie, and their kids Joannie, 9, Serge, 8, Kieran, 7, and Teagan, 6 – went…
I first saw this video on the Clifton Hill Blog, and have since had someone else email me a link to it as well. This is a very cool time-lapse video hosted by Vimeo by Matthew Wartman of various parts of the Niagara Falls tourist area. Very well done! [vimeo]http://vimeo.com/5370705[/vimeo]
Here is a cool video I saw the other day. It’s short, but shows what Clifton Hill looked like 20 years ago. [dailymotion]http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x81jus_clifton-hill-in-the-late-80s_travel[/dailymotion] Note: Sometimes the Dailymotion site says that the video has to be reloaded. This is a problem with their site or the video that they host, not on my end. If you…
So, who is useradmin23 you ask? Well, for some reason, the person at Canadian Niagara Hotels who set this up decided to have their username as “useradmin23” instead of “fallsavenue”. Anyway, if you are interested, there are some nice videos there showing the various properties they own.
I first heard about this on the Clifton Hill blog… Apparently Alexissonfire has a new song out called “Young Cardinals”. The video was filmed here in Niagara Falls on Maid of the Mist. They’ve posted a YouTube video of behind the scenes shots. Note: You have to click the HQ button in order to hear…
The weather on the 4th of July this year was awesome. The sky was blue and the temperature was in the mid 20°s C (around 70° F), so I went out and took some pictures and a video. The pictures were taken with my regular camera, but the video was taken with a new small…
