What makes an attraction truly unforgettable?
It’s not just the tech—it’s the story. Here’s how Niagara Takes Flight did it.
How do you create an attraction guests remember long after they leave?
At Niagara Falls, the view is already spectacular. But to build a deep emotional connection, you need more than just witnessing a "pretty sight."
In our latest collaboration with the Niagara Parks Commission, we explored the "Story First" approach. Here are the three pillars that make Niagara Takes Flight a global benchmark:

The Narrative Arc:
“What is the story we want to tell?”
For Creative Director Rick Rothschild, every unforgettable attraction begins with this simple question. This philosophy guided the entire experience, beginning long before the flight itself.

Before boarding the flying ride, visitors journey through a sequence of immersive pre-show experiences — queuing beneath the Entrance Marquee, the Ancestors Gathering, the Waterfall, and The Transporter. With dynamic lighting, cinematic media presented on a collection of uniquely configured LED screens coupled with narrative design, these spaces gradually reveal Niagara’s history and Indigenous heritage while building anticipation for the flight ahead.

Sensory Immersion:
It’s not just a screen—it’s a fully immersive experience.
Niagara Takes Flight final ride experience transforms storytelling into a seamless sensory journey, synchronizing motion, wind, mist, and scent effects. Guests move beyond simply watching a film to emotionally connecting to Niagara —blending exhilarating flight with meaningful cultural storytelling.
A New Perspective:
“Brogent’s flying theater technology lets guests be fully immersed in the sensation of soaring across Niagara—allowing us to bring the story of The Falls and the Park to life in ways a screen alone just can’t do,” said Rick Rothschild, Creative Director of Niagara Takes Flight.
With Brogent’s o-Ride flying theater system, the journey begins with a dramatic 180-degree opening turn, lifting guests from the boarding platform and revealing a massive domed screen. Guests then soar over ancient rock formations, historic battle sites, and Niagara’s stunning landscapes across all four seasons. The journey culminates in an unforgettable, up-close encounter with the iconic Horseshoe Falls—offering a view that is physically impossible to experience otherwise.

The Result? A "must-do" attraction that resonates with millions
“It’s the world’s first flying theater within a globally renowned park. Niagara Takes Flight offers visitors a completely new way to experience Niagara and has quickly become a must-do attraction for those visiting the Falls,” said Missy Sauer, Director of Attractions and Retail at Niagara Parks.
Brogent’s flying theater technology transforms destinations into story-driven experiences, letting visitors see, feel, and connect to a place like never before.
