WWE Niagara Falls entertainment facility has been hit by safety inspectors. W-O Newsletter reader Ehren Baldauf sent in a link to a report that appeared on the Niagara Falls Review yesterday saying that the Technical Safety and Standards Authority shut down the ride on Wednesday because it didn't have the required permit from the provincial agency that inspects amusement rides in Ontario. The 66-meter 'Piledriver' ride shoots you up 3Gs and then lets you free fall all the way down, a ride similar to that found on top of the Stratosphere Hotel in Las Vegas and the one found in Disney's California Adventure theme park. According to the report, paperwork was submitted in mid-July but no permit was issued. The good news is that the Authority didn't open a case which upon conviction could cost WWE $1 million.
