|  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?

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

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..

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

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

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.
