Niagara Falls boasts new attraction

Visitors to Niagara Falls in Ontario, Canada now have a new attraction to visit following the opening of Niagara's Fury on June 22nd.

The feature uses '4D' technology to create an immersive experience recreating the sights and sounds of the birth of Niagara Falls.

It begins with an eight-minute animated show explaining how Niagara Falls was formed in the Ice Age.

Visitors then enter a specially designed, 360-degree theatre for a six-minute experience intended to offer a perspective of the sights and sounds of the creation of Niagara Falls.

Jim Williams, chairman of the Niagara Parks Commission, said: "We're confident Niagara's Fury will provide that exciting, educational and interactive experience our visitors have been looking for when they visit Niagara today."

The attraction is the cornerstone of the renovations at Table Rock, a facility that includes shopping, dining and entertainment facilities.

Niagara Falls straddles the border between Canada and the United States and often provides a popular day-trip opportunity for visitors to New York.
