Today’s tour to the American side was great. The high point was taking the Maid of the Mist boat to the bottom of Horseshoe Falls. It was wet and wild. The boat operators didn’t over crowd the boats so we had room to move and had a good viewing positions.
We also walked down to the bottom of the American Falls. The sound and feel of the water so near to the bottom of the falls is incredible.
The worst thing we attended was a film called something like the “Legend of the Falls”. This is hyped as a 4-D movie. A little bit of water is sprayed from the ceiling while we watched the screen with 3-D glasses. The entire movie was just a bunch of video effects to showing 3-D with Niagara Falls in the background. I can’t believe they would try to get people to pay $9.95 to watch this crap if it wasn’t included in a tour package. Not one person on our tour had a positive thing to say about it.
The two tours we took were worth the money. We saw all the things we wanted and had a fair amount of time at each stop. Our tour guide was able to get us into the head of the line at each attraction and we didn’t have to find parking, which could have been a major problem. Many lots were full.
WiFi at this KOA is worthless. When we made our reservation we asked if they had WiFi and if is was working. They said yes. It hasn’t been working more than a couple minutes before it stops. I asked at the office about it this morning and they said it hasn’t been working for more than two weeks. Also, they won’t call professional help in to resolve their problems.
