The chair, of course, is fake. The body, of course, is a dummy. It just sits there until someone puts $2 in. Then the body shakes about violently, smoke starts to come out, and a voice is there screaming. Apparently it is going all day. It&#8217;s only $2, so it&#8217;s almost throw away money, especially for the Americans who can&#8217;t really get anything back for their change. If you catch the tail end of it and want to take a picture or video, then you&#8217;ll put the money in. But I just don&#8217;t like this out on the street. If you want to put something like that inside a haunted house attraction, go for it. But keep it off the street. I don&#8217;t like this! I think it is a step backwards, and makes all of the improvements on Clifton Hill look bad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3524\" title=\"20080804_electric_chair_01\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/accessniagara.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/20080804_electric_chair_01.jpg?resize=338%2C450\" alt=\"\" width=\"338\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3523\" title=\"20080804_electric_chair_02\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/accessniagara.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/20080804_electric_chair_02.jpg?resize=338%2C450\" alt=\"\" width=\"338\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I generally don&#8217;t like reading blogs or articles that talk about how tacky Niagara Falls is.
