Table Rock Point:
First opened in 1899, this attraction was formerly called "Behind the Sheet" and the "Scene Tunnels". This complex was named "Table Rock" after a ledge of rock that used to jut out by the brink of the Falls. After several great rock falls, the remaining "Table Rock" ledge was blasted off in 1935 to ensure the safety of visitors. The elevator shaft descending 38 meters (125 feet) was originally blasted in 1903 and was expanded for two elevators in 1925. The tunnels you are using today were blasted in 1944. |
