IMAX Theatre in Niagara Falls Demolished to Make Way for a 12-Story Hotel

May 25, 2022—Two years after the Pyramid Place entertainment centre was demolished on an adjacent lot, the Niagara Falls IMAX Theatre was torn down by cranes last week, leaving only a pile of rubble after the long weekend. The two buildings in the entertainment district of the city were being cleared out to make way for a 12-story, 230-room hotel to be spread over the two sites. While the theatre’s website says a new location is to be announced soon, the now-demolished theatre was a mainstay in Niagara Falls for over 35 years, being built in the 1980s. Read the full article and see a video tour through the abandoned theater at Niagara.com
