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!

	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.

	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.
