BUFFALO, N.Y. — The hockey and curling rinks at Buffalo RiverWorks could have some new neighbors, including a ferris wheel, waterfront piers and mini-amusement park filled with a handful of rides from the now-closed Fantasy Island.
All are part of a phased-in series of developments RiverWorks founder and Buffalo businessman Earl Ketry has planned for the 15-acre Ganson Street property. Ketry said he will be investing $25 million.
"It is all part of my goal to make Buffalo a regional destination and stop being a drive-through location on the way to Niagara Falls," Ketry said. "My goal is to see RiverWorks become something of an industrial Disney World on the shores of the Buffalo River."
