Ride The Air
High above the racing Niagara River, you'll be transported through the air in
an antique cable car.
Far below, the torrent of water abruptly changes direction and creates
one of the world’s most mesmerizing natural phenomenon – the Niagara
Whirlpool. Sometimes frightening and always unforgettable! |
Features | The aerial
cable car travels safely between two different points of the
Canadian shore of the Niagara River over the spectacular
Whirlpool. | | A round
trip is about one kilometer (3,600 feet) and takes about 10
minutes to navigate. | | The
capacity of the car is 35 standing passengers. | | A
breathtaking view of the Niagara River's Whirlpool Rapids. | | Built in
1913 by the Niagara Aero Car Company using Leonardo
Torres-Quevedo's patent. | | Opened on
August 8, 1916. | | Upgrades in
design and function occurred in 1961, 1967 and 1984. |
History
The Aero car was designed by a Spanish engineer, Leonardo Torres Quevedo and
has been in operation since 1916. The cable car is suspended from six sturdy
cables and offers a wonderful view of the Niagara Whirlpool which is formed at
the end of the rapids where the gorge turns abruptly counterclockwise and
the river escapes through the narrowest channel in the gorge.
