The Truth of Niagara's Fury ... Finally



This news broke yesterday but I just didn't have time to post about it. Niagara Parks finally fully announced what the heck Niagara's Fury is going to be with a press release and video on their official website.

From the release and video, it looks like the attraction will have a video preshow and then guests will enter the main room for the attraction. Looks like this room will have guests on a grated platform above water, with water also surrounding the outside of the platform as well.

The walls of the room look like they will be the screens for a circlevision 360 degree type projection system. So the movie will play all around you while plenty of water and other special effects are generated from the space below you. They also say that it will snow, and it sounds like maybe the platform guests are on will drop a bit at one point (think at the end of Twister at Universal Orlando) to shake things up.

While I'm not totally blown away I do think that if the attraction does what the release says it will it sounds like it could be awesome. I'm certainly not booking a trip to Niagara to see it, but if I was there I'd certainly check it out. It's always nice to see anyone, anywhere create a highly themed attraction!
