From the Niagara Falls Review: Jim Williams has been re-appointed chairman of the Niagara Parks Commission through 2010. Williams first took on the role in 2004, months after the commission posted its first loss in more than 50 years. Looking at his new term, Williams said Table Rock will undergo a $35-million facelift over the…
From the Cambridge Times: It’s wondrous in size with a northwoods theme and it’s wet – really wet. Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls, Ont. boasts Bear Track Landing, an indoor – yes, indoor – water park that is 103,000-square-feet in size. Guests of the resort will be impressed by the water park’s seven swimming…
Continuing with the posting from yesterday, the Friday image gallery is of Marvel Super Heroes Adventure City. I went in yesterday to check it out and was a little surprised with the changes. It hasn’t changed dramatically, but it seems like every time I go in there are less games. However, they have changed the…
