New XD Theater 6D Motion Experience opens in Niagara Falls
The fun and excitement never stops on Clifton Hill!
HOCO Entertainment and Resorts has partnered with TrioTech Amusements, a leading manufacturer of multi-sensory interactive attractions, to bring the first ever curved screen XD Theater 6D motion ride experience to Niagara Falls.

Touted as the most technologically advanced motion actuator system in the world, the XD Theater is an intense virtual experience, heightened by sound, wind and lighting effects. Riders are provided with a variety of breathtaking adventures with fully immersive stereoscopic imaging, realistic motion with up to 2 G’s of acceleration, custom seats that shift 400 movements per second, intense wind and dazzling light effects.
“The XD Theater brings a major attraction to Clifton Hill’s World Famous Street of Fun by the Falls,” said Nicholas Tritchew, a Marketing Executive at HOCO. “We are committed to continually improving the entertainment offerings in Niagara Falls …and with XD, riders will experience a high-quality ride with intense graphics, advanced motion and expansive, up-to-date movies.”
Currently featuring the Cosmic Coaster movie, guests can enjoy a futuristic feature that takes them on a high-speed roller coaster ride with death-defying leaps through far-off galaxies and cavernous mountains. Strapped into an individual motion-based seat that dips, dives and swirls through outer space, riders dodge meteors and explore strange planets before coming to a thrilling stop.

”It’s a fun and invigorating ride that everyone in Niagara will love. It will surely be one of the most popular and talked-about Niagara Falls attractions.”
The XD Theater can be found inside the Great Canadian Midway entertainment complex near the bottom of Clifton Hill.  Single admission is $6.99 for adults and $4.99 for children.  It is also featured in the Clifton Hill FUN PASS, which showcases 5 different attractions including the SkyWheel, Canada’s Largest Giant Wheel, for $25.95 per adult and $19.95 for children.  People sensitive to movement can unhook their belts to stop the motion in a fixed position. Call 905-358-3676 for hours of operation, ticket prices and other helpful information.

You Discover, the talent competition currently being run in the Oakes Garden theatre near Clifton Hill, recently broadcast a video of two competing bands: the Black Flies and the Lucas Project riding atop the giant Niagara Skywheel. While riding the Giant Wheel, they attempt to write a song off the cuff, which is really fun to watch as try to pull it off.
