PNE Thread
 
Is there no PNE thread? haha I was there on Saturday with my ex and a couple of her gf's. Favourite ride was the hellevator. Also the coaster is always a classic. I think I spent $100 on games lol.. well and gambling. Overall it was pretty fun.

Did anyone else actually attend the PNE this year?

Klutch 09-04-2006 11:12 AM

the rides are getting boring at the pne.....the hellavator is only good when ur at the top and looking around....when u go down i never got the sense of excitement like i wished

If you think PNE is "boring" wait until you go to the CNE in Toronto. :o

The best part of the hellevator is the very beginning when you get shot up to the top.

I think the coaster is just scary because you're actually out of your seat when going down the slopes. It feels really unsafe which makes it freaky. Especially when sitting on the back haha..

Went there on Saturday with the Wife and Kid...

DID they increase parking this year? $15 fucken dollars to park my car... thats insane.

I thought before it was like 8-10 bucks.

I won $40 bucks on games... WOOT!

ken2k7 09-04-2006 02:44 PM

doesn't it cost money for the hellavator?

this year i went at 8 am and got back at 1 am the next day. haha.

did every ride like 5 times.

bossxx 09-04-2006 02:52 PM

Hellevator was $5 with your $40 (@7-11) PNE ride pass thing or whatever.

i went but didn't go on any of the rides. i wanted to watch that magic show (illusions and beyond, or something like that) but they ran out of seats :(

festiva_boy 09-04-2006 03:39 PM

GordonTse 09-04-2006 04:05 PM

it was boring not going on rides... next year for sure i'm going on rides..

vic_086 09-04-2006 04:28 PM

I went this year, but only went to the fair part. The shows were pretty good, especially the superdogs and illusions and beyond

PHSST! CNE is a joke compared to Six Flags in the US, ride wise. After goin there, I never even went on a single ride in PNE/Playland.

Vansterdam 09-04-2006 04:31 PM

everything is so overpriced

Volvo-brickster 09-04-2006 07:47 PM

PNE is only good if you have a hook up for admission / parking.
Other than that, its going to be a pretty expensive outing

Edison_Chen 09-04-2006 11:09 PM

Nothing special @ the pne..

Same old stuff.... The carni games are soo ripp

Kagemusha 09-04-2006 11:26 PM

we drove all the way to seattle to this place called "enchanged village/wildwaves" themepark. i have to say that for $35, pne is way better. the landrides were just about the same as pne but only had half of the rides from pne. the only good portion of this themepark are the waterslides which made up for the boring first half. the ring of fire was pretty cool since pne banned it after someone got killed.
