The Wallenda Walk at Niagara Falls is the first stunt in Niagara Falls State Park since the "Great Blondin" first walked the Niagara Gorge on a tightrope 150 years ago. Stunting in Niagara Falls State Park has been banned for decades, however earlier this year New York State Sen. George Maziarz, R-Newfane, and New York State Assemblyman John Ceretto, R-Lewiston, worked toward the passage of legislation to allow this one-time daredevil act with Wallenda to take place.
