Why it worked
The video leverages the awe-inspiring and slightly terrifying nature of Niagara Falls, combined with the novelty of a new, expensive expansion, to create a compelling and shareable piece of content that prompts audience engagement through a direct question.
Summary
The video showcases the newly opened $9 million Crow's Nest expansion at Niagara Falls, which allows visitors to stand extremely close to the American Falls. It questions whether viewers would be comfortable with such proximity to the powerful waterfall.
