Niagara Falls' Ferris Wheel Debacle: A Saga of Misguided Tourism Plans The proposed observation wheel in Queen Victoria Park, Niagara Falls, has been a contentious issue for months.
Local residents have opposed the provincial government's tourism plans, which would introduce new attractions to double tourism in the area. The latest development suggests that this saga may be nearing its end.
Mayor Jim Diodati, who sits on the board of the Niagara Parks Commission, has declared the project "a dead issue" following a letter of intent from HOCO Entertainment to transform the existing SkyWheel into Canada's largest observation wheel.
