Nik Wallenda Fun Facts:
- The tightrope is 1,800-ft. in length and weighs seven tons.
- A helicopter will fly a lighter tension wire across the Niagara Gorge. Once secured on both sides, it will be attached to one end and pulled by machines across.
- Installers predict it will take 8-9 hours to get the rope across the Niagara Gorge, and take a total of 20 hours in prep time. It is estimated to take two-and-a-half to three days for the installation to be complete.
- The tightrope will be anchored by bolts sunk deep into bedrock, several hundred yards back from the brink of the falls on Goat Island.
