the end of the 1992 season, the amusement park closed down. In early spring of 1993 the Ferris wheel was dismantled and shipped to Asia for use there. By January 1994, only a dozen shops remained in operation throughout the sprawling three-story structure. Redevelopment of the property was necessary, as many more shops were preferring on-street access in the burgeoning tourist area. The Maple Leaf Village Mall closed for the last time on February 1, 1995. Casino Niagara opened in the building on December 7, 1996 and is still in operation today. The site was intended to be temporary, but the new site was filled by the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort. The tower received a new look to reflect its more upscale surroundings, although there currently is no public access. It is now simply known as the Casino Tower, and is being used as a large sign for the casino.
