WWE Niagara Falls: The Lost Pile Driver Ride
$0.99
WWE Niagara Falls built a 220-foot Pile Driver drop tower. Discover how WWE’s only thrill ride opened, stalled, and vanished.
Description
For a brief window in the early 2000s, World Wrestling Entertainment did something it had never tried before or since: it built a full-scale thrill ride towering over Niagara Falls. Perched above one of Canada’s busiest tourist strips, the WWE Niagara Falls complex drew fans inside with exclusive merchandise and live appearances, then sent them hurtling skyward on a 220-foot drop tower ominously named The Pile Driver. Yet within a few short years, the ride was shut down, the store was emptied, and WWE’s only official theme park-style attraction was quietly dismantled and sent halfway across the world. This is how The Pile Driver rose over Clifton Hill. And why it vanished.
