Niagara Falls, N.Y. (AP) - Wire walker Nik Wallenda says he's looking at the U.S. side of Niagara Falls to put a semi-permanent entertainment center.

Wallenda made history in June when he became the first person to walk on a tightrope directly over the precipice of the falls.

He tells local media that the "circus-style" Wallenda family center could open as early as next summer.

Wallenda says he has begun talking to different developers and looking at artistic renderings.

The center could include interactive elements such as one that would simulate the experience Wallenda had in crossing the falls.
