Niagara's Fury

Not quite ready to let your child go over the Falls in a barrel? This interactive movie and ride lets kids experience the momentum and adrenaline rush of doing so without the threat of broken bones (or worse).

Younger kids will fall in love with Chip, the preteen beaver star of the pre-ride movie ("He's so cute!") and will surely want to bring him home (stuffed versions are available in the gift shop). Kids won't realize they're learning the history of the Falls as they watch Chip slip and spin from the ice age to modern times -- they'll be having too much fun.

Despite its name, the "Fury" is actually pretty tame, very family-friendly, and barrels of fun.
