 |  | Miniature World House (Jordan)
< on 11/4/2005 3:42 AM >
|  | | | Came across this house while checking out Wet&Wild at Prudhommes, It appears that it had something to do with the miniature world that use to be located where the paint ball now is.We found miniature train tracks and a sign that read Tivoli Miniature World.
Floors were very unsafe and the roof was collapsed. We did not attempt to go to the basement or the upper floor, seeing how the basement was flooded and the stairs were unsafe.

Prudhomme's Landing started out as a small water park on a man-made hill near Jordan, Ontario between Grimsby and St. Catherines. It was located behind Victoria Hall, a 40s-style dance hall. It originally had two or three water slides but eventually came to have a wave pool, two water slides, a lazy river, and a tube rapid ride (riders get in an inner tube, go to the top of a hill, and descend through a large trough-type slide to the bottom). This area was called "Wet `n' Wild".
The amusement ride section included Bumper Boats, Bumper Cars, (Gettone), Go-Karts (Gettone), and a "Tilt-A-Whirl" (Selner). A miniature train was also there in the Miniature World attraction. (See farther on.)
An old mansion on the grounds was made into a haunted house. It was created by Robert Gibbs, who was nicknamed "Bobber". He used to live in the upstairs portion of the house. Robert later went on to open Nightmares at Maple Leaf Village.
Terry Brown of Niagara Falls, Ontario, says regarding the haunted house attraction: "Perhaps this was the invention of the `chicken door' where several would watch humiliated scardy cats! The house was inspired by the scary movies of the 1980s and was known for its `real people' and pitch blackness. A rite of passage for Niagara-area teens in the 80s!"
Associated with Prudhomme's was Tivoli Miniature World. It was in a separate area next to the amusement park and required separate admission. Dick Passmore comments: "A part of the fun of Prudhomme's Landing was Tivoli Miniature World. They had scale models of famous world landmarks, such as The Eiffel Tower, The Tower of Pisa, and The CN Tower."
A television advertisement proclaimed there would be "...big fun at Miniature World". One of the attractions was a miniature train which ran around the grounds inside Miniature World. Eventually, it was moved when Prudhomme's closed.
Ken Jones of Niagara Falls, Ontario says: "Miniature World was relocated to the corner of Ferry & Victoria in Niagara Falls. I believe it lasted only two or three seasons, before being closed down and moved over seas. The train, however, remains here in Niagara Falls. It was sold about three or four times and now resides at a local campground, but it is in non-operating condition."
Prudhomme's closed around 2002 and is mostly gone, now. An unknown poster to an Internet forum said recently: "I took a trip to the now defunct park yesterday. Sadly, the haunted house is no more then a pile of haunted rubble. The park has been closed about a year and a half and most of the buildings are already gone."
Ken Jones closes: "The waterslides and tube ride are still set up, although many of the buildings along the outer edge have been removed. There was an auction company selling off the remains like the restarant equipment, bumper boats, go carts, bumper cars and `Tilt-a-Whirl'." |

Here are the signs that use to stand outside the haunted house.With the chicken list
I visited this park several times in the 80`s and recall the miniature world closing and relocating to Whitby.
