VIDEO: SkyWheel - 'The Wheel of Death' - at Seneca Niagara Casino in Niagara Falls

A series of three breath-taking attractions are planned for this summer outside of the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in downtown Niagara Falls. The SkyWheel (aka "Wheel of Death"), Motorcycle Thunderdome and the High Wire Motorcycle acts will run every Wednesday through Sunday from July 1 through Aug. 23, with performances at 6, 7 at 8 p.m.

The SkyWheel is first up, and will run for two weeks. The rotating double-wheel features two acrobats delivering heart-stopping moves while the wheels are in motion, taking them up to 30 feet above the ground.

A preview event with members of the Espanas family took place July 1. Watch the video below for death-defying highlights.

The Espanas are a fifth-generation traveling circus family.

Performances will take place outside of the Seneca Niagara Casino's Fourth Street entrance (Seneca Square self-parking lot; beneath the bridge to Old Falls Street).
