Fallsview Casino Resort spectacular entrance fountain. The design and features of the Hydro-Teslatron gives off the feeling as if it is going to explode. The structure is stationed inside the main entrance of the casino to intrigue visitors. It uses high tech lasers, LED’s, and runs 7000 gallons cycling through generators, to show the impression of Niagara Falls and its source for harnessing electricity to light up large areas. The Teslatron changes into many different colors while electric sparks run within the interior.
This is footage of a 1922 movie called “The Man From Beyond”. It features a stunt, by the famous magician Harry Houdini, and his co-star dangerously close to the edge of Niagara Falls. There’s no camera tricks and apparently very few safety fail-safes. more…

Video of Niagara Falls Canada’s newest attraction; the ice skating rink called the ‘Rink at the Brink’.
For further information you can visit the Winter Festival of Lights website.
I have been lucky enough to enjoy skating the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, and the Rockefeller Center in New York. This Winter I plan on ice skating just a few feet from Niagara Falls at the attraction dubbed “The Rink at the Brink”. I can’t wait to see the view at night when the falls is lit up.
The attraction is very affordable. Admission, including skate rental, is $10 for adults and $8 for children. The prices are even cheaper if you bring your own skates.
