From Niagara This Week: While it looks like a new go-kart coaster attraction at the top of Clifton Hill is nearing completion, Mother Nature has played havoc with getting site race ready. The base of the track, including its ascending corkscrew, have been in place for weeks, but wet weather has delayed the pouring of…
