| Lansdowne Carnival
Has anybody went yet? I drove around by there last night! Looks tempting to go on a sunny day today. Before I go for my first time, how was your experience at the carnival for those who went there in the past?

its was okay, nothing special, IIRC it was pretty pricey...(maybe i was just a student before so it seems pricey??)

A bunch of reasonable rides.
+1 on expensive! From what I remember from previous years, the good rides took 6-7 tickets, and tickets were like $2 each? I could be mistaken.

it's not bad, just to go with friends for one night. but the rides are somewhat limited. obviously nothing like playland.
recommended if you just wanna go and check it out. but don't have high expectations of cheap tickets/food, and a wide variety of rides.

before they started the McD across the street had coupons like $13 for 6 rides or something I doubt they still have it though.

6 rides for $13?
Pretty expensive imo.
I'd rather just wait for the PNE, they have a lot more selection of rides.
What I find disgusting about the carnival at lansdowne each year is that every corner I turn there'd be somebody slouched over the garbage can throwing up, or puke on the ground somewhere. And almost every garbage can has puke inside. I don't know why this is so common, but I've never seen this kind of problem at Disneyland, or PNE.

6 for $13 is pretty reasonable imo minus the fact there aren't rollercoasters

Last year I planned and found a day where the overcast was cloudy with a little chance for showers.
Turned out with no rain, and there were little to no line ups for everything.
