    No longer “Marvel”-ous?

    Over the last couple of weeks there have been some sign trucks outside of Marvel Superheroes Adventure City. They were taking down the big Incredible Hulk on the sign on Clifton Hill.

            From the Niagara Falls Review: If the traffic jam that clogged Niagara Falls Tourism’s website in recent weeks is any indication, the 2008 season might not be as bad as originally feared. “We had 7,000 unique visits in a day,” executive director Anna Pierce said Tuesday. “We’ve never had that.” Pierce made the observation the…

            New attraction coming to Clifton Hill in place of Brick City

            A couple of days ago I noticed some new banners/signs along the fencing where Brick City used to be. You may recall that there was a fire almost two years ago in the Haunted House attraction (see here, here or here) and Brick City ended up with a lot of water damage. The ended up tearing…
