Maid of the Mist’s last ride in Canada Thursday
From the Niagara Falls Review:
After 167 years, one of Niagara Falls’ most iconic attractions is sailing into the Canadian sunset.
The Maid of the Mist is concluding its tour-boat excursions on this side of the Niagara River for the final time Thursday. The Maid has been around since 1846 and has been owned by the Glynn family since 1971.
Hornblower Niagara Cruises will operate on the Canadian side of the gorge starting next spring.
Saying goodbye to the Maid of the Mist
From the Niagara Falls Review:
I was cold. I was soaked. And for one last time, I loved every second of it.
It was easy to take the Maid of the Mist for granted over the years, never realizing how special it really was. People who’ve lived here all their lives have never ridden it, assuming it was just another tourist rip-off. Just another postcard.
It wasn’t. It never was. The Maid was different. She was history and nature. She was scary and spectacular. When the ride comes to its apex, when you’re looking up at the Horseshoe Falls, when you’re being drenched by the Niagara River … you feel lost in time.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” the recorded announcer says, “this is Niagara Falls.” No cotton candy or waffles down here. No ferris wheels. Just pure, raw power. This is why they’ve come here for centuries. Since I’ve lived here, visiting friends and relatives always ask what they should see. The answer never changed: Don’t miss the Maid of the Mist.
It was as good as it gets. And on Thursday, it was time to say goodbye.
