(pattering water drops)
KORY: Wow, there's water falls up there...like look at that up there, holy crap
K: These ARE pretty impressive!
K: Well, we're at Niagara Falls!
DENISE: We made it to Niagara Falls, always one of those places, you know, that you gotta see, right?
K: And we found parking. The Parking Lot's closed, but the gate was open so we came in and parked
D: Yeah, it seemed better to be parking....parking seemed pretty tight
D: Even though it's September there's a lot of people there!
K: There is! We managed to weasel our way right down what I'm thinking was probably the main "touristy" street of Niagara Falls
D: Yeah, right RIGHT by the Falls
D: Anyways, we're gonna take our bikes and go back there and check it out,
decide other things we might want to see or do
K: Mmm-hmm
D: And, yeah, what I can't imagine is this HUGE parking lot we're in that's empty and closed,
Imagine if it were FULL!
K: If it were also full, yeah
D: Might not want to be here then!
K: And it's NICE today, it's like 23 degrees
D: I'm glad we're here right now, because the crowds could be outrageous,
I think they're still gonna be crowds, but....
K: Yeah
D: Not as bad. It'll be good, let's go!
(upbeat, instrumental music over rushing water)
D: All this mist is gonna become rain REAL soon, so I've got my umbrella
And we're going to have to switch cameras up here because when we drove through it,
it was like we drove right into a rainstorm!
K: We're about to enter the mist zone!
It depends on which way the wind gusts, but we're ready!
D: I'm ready, I've got an umbrella and this Get-Up!
K: Oh, yeah, your High-Fashion here!
D: Let's go....we're gonna be WET!
K: But Happy! Oh my God, we're HAPPY!
D: (giggles)
(energetic music)
(sound of rushing wind)
D: This is a super-beautiful place. I mean it's windy and the water is rushing,
but it's really nice, and I think it's DRAMATIC
I've heard folks say it wasn't all that dramatic....it IS!
It's beautiful, and the way the wind is pushing the mist into me, I mean, it was really a cool experience
If you can, you should come!
(lively music)
RIDE OERATOR: Right this way, watch your heads and stuff, ok guys
K: Watch your head, did you say..really?
RIDE OERATOR: Well, I have to say it so....
(laughing)
ANNOUNCER ON PA: Across from the Rainbow Bridge which joins Canada and the United States
Across the Rainbow Bridge lies Niagara Falls, New York and the American Falls
Of course the view to the east is of Niagara Falls, Ontario and the surrounding region
(playful music)
K: Do you want me to stick this in here?
D: No, I'm going to use that and I don't want to look stupid....put this in the bag
K: You don't want to look STUPID?? (laughs)
(Playful music)
D: Today we decided to do something, we'll see, maybe fun?
(laughing)
K: I think it'll be FUN
D: Kory thinks it's fun...
D: But we're between Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake
and we're going to do a Whirlpool Jet Tour?
K: Jet Boat Tour
D: Yah! So remember those Jet Boats we showed you back in Fort St John,
that was like the World Championships, and they're running up and down the river....
K: These are not like that
(laughing)
K: I don't know how many people they hold, but...
D: a LOT!
K: oh, 30 maybe?
D: They hold a lot of people, but it'll be fun still and we're gonna go through rapids and things like that and....
um, apparently we're getting wet!
K: And we were only gonna go if we could take YOU with us, and apparently we can, so...stay tuned!
D: We're getting the cameras ready, let's go!
(Lively music)
BOAT OPERATOR: OK guys, wh's ready to go Jet Boating?
CROWD IN BOAT: WooooHooooo!!!
(Lively music)
K: You're like High Fashion (laughs)
K: Oh now you gotta do a bow
(lively music)
BOAT OPERATOR: Where you from?
K: British Columbia
BOAT OPERATOR: Oh, no shit? Right on
K: No shit at all
BOAT OPERATOR: That's crazy!
D: Alright, here we go. This is apparently a very, very, very WET trip!
K: First three rows are bumpier and wetter, but we're taking it for the team
D: Hang on, everyone!!
(lively music)
K: Are you wanting to go for a drink? (stifling giggles)
D: the question is...How bad do I NEED a drink now
K: (laughing)
D: 'Cause a feel a little squishy, and somewhat uncomfortable in walking
K: Oh, you're pulling it off though, you don't look stiff at all
D: Our Jet Boat Tour through the Rapids is over,
and well, they were right, I'm drenched
Literllay DRENCHED!
k: We did a 4, and a category 5
D: Yeah
K: But the category 6, we went up to, but we didn't actually go through it
K: I think we could have though!
D: (laughs skeptically) The boats were really super safe,
we never ever felt like, not even once like,
K: No, they were very stable
D: Totally. They could handle it
K: Yah
D: And they told we're gonna get wet, and we got absolutely drenched. Like it was a WALL of water
K: They didn't lie!
(Laughing)
K: It was FUN though!
D: But it was a good ride, about $70 a person?
K: Yeah, just under that
D: Yeah, we had a coupon too, you can get coupons
And it was really fun, well worth the ride, and we would recommend that you go do it!
K: Mmmm-Hmmmm
D: It was a little hard to find, so
K: Yeah
D: Follow Google, put in the address, take a picture of it. 'Cause there wasn't a lot of signage
K: No. But it seemed fairly busy here, even though nobody really....wasn't intuitive to get here
D: Clearly everybody else found their way
K: Yah!
D: You know what they have this great, like, sort of....
K: Rooftop Bar thing....
D: Deck thing, on this boat, out here in the river
D: So we're gonna have some drinks
K: Cheers
D: Cheers!
K: were you sitting?
D: I WAS sitting here, how can you tell?
K: That's bizarre!
(laughing)
K: You look like you've been riding a horse or something (giggles)
D: (softly) It's because my butt is SO wet! Everything is wet!
D: Soaking wet.
K: (laughs)
D: Everytime I take a step, my shoe goes SQUISH..SQUISH
