Also know as the "Spanish Aero Car" by locals.

The Spanish Aero Car was built in Bilboa, Spain at a cost of $120,00.
The Spanish Aero Car began operation on August 8th 1916.
It was designed by Spanish engineer Leonardo Torre-Quevedo (1852-1939).
It travels some 1,770 feet (539m) across the Whirlpool from Canadian terminus
at Colt's Point (where the ticket office is located and where passengers embark)
to Canadian terminal at Thompson Point, at a height of 250 feet (76 meters)
above the surface of the turbulent waters of the Whirlpool.

It has a capacity to hold 40 persons.

In 1968, the Spanish Aero Car was purchased the Niagara Parks Commission.

There has never been an accident or injury since the Spanish Aero Car began operations.
