Niagara Falls Volcano & Rivers

Clifton Hill Niagara Falls, ON | 2010

In the summer of 2010, our theming crew was commissioned to build a 50-foot high flame spewing volcano and 3 rivers flowing from waterfalls at Dinosaur Adventure Golf below the Ferris wheel on Clifton Hill, Niagara Falls for HOCO entertainment. This job involved sculpting and stamping rockwork, bending rebar armatures, custom shaped steel frames and applying a layer of mesh and concrete scratch coat. We then apply sculpted or stamped concrete embossed with real rock impressions or textures to create an authentic surface. The piece is then stained and/or painted. The volcano allows golfers to play directly through our hand crafted, realistically eerie, cavernous volcanic interior on their way to the 18th hole. All of this is spread out over a massive 70,000 square foot playing surface, and populated by 50 astonishingly realistic and life-sized dinosaurs, many which loom over 30 feet high. Clifton has been transformed into the hub of the major tourist district, second only to the Falls.
