Rockslide forces early closure of Niagara Falls attraction

An attraction across the border in Niagara Falls, New York has closed early for the season after a rockslide.

The Cave of the Winds attraction was scheduled to close on Wednesday, along with the Maid of the Mist.

The overnight rockslide was likely due to heavy winds and rain overnight Friday.

Several large rocks fell, damaging the walking path and several railings.

The attraction is described as a thrilling walk on Niagara Falls’ wild side and will reopen in 2013.
