On the grounds of Queen Victoria Park, overlooking both the American and Canadian Horseshoe Falls, Niagara’s newest tourism experience will take flight at 2 p.m. July 20 when WildPlay’s MistRider Zipline to the Falls is officially opened to the public by The Niagara Parks Commission (NPC) and WildPlay Niagara Falls.
Designed to enhance the overall tourism offerings of Niagara and of Niagara Parks, WildPlay’s MistRider Zipline to the Falls consists of four parallel lines that take guests on a 670-meter (2,200-foot) long scenic ride from Niagara Parks Grand View Marketplace to the historic Ontario Power Company building located within the Niagara Gorge.
The Niagara Parks Commission began examining the possibility of a zipline attraction within the park as early as 2011. Following community and stakeholder consultations, the Commission then engaged the services of WildPlay Niagara Falls, through an open and competitive procurement process, to undertake the construction and operation of WildPlay’s MistRider Zipline to the Falls and WildPlay’s Whirlpool Adventure Course activities.
