Playland / PNE tips and hacks
 

I'm planning to go to playland and the fair later this month.

I haven't gone the past few years and pretty much forgot what's there to check out anymore...

- Any must check out rides?
- anything to avoid? (games that have odds totally stacked against you, food etc.)
- any tips with regards to parking,games, etc

Pretty much all the games with big prizes have odds stacked against you

Thanks tips!

Tips? Bring lots of money.

Parking, when i go, we park couple blocks down, usually here

pne - Google Maps

If youre lucky theres a spot and its free parking :fullofwin:

Be prepared to spend a LOT of money

^ pree sure you can get ticketed for parking there lol, go park at like hastings elementary or any school, usually 5$?

Last time I was there, I spent 100 before I even knew it and the rides are free lol.

Pro tip: don't go with girl...haha just kidding.

I have the most success with the 'stand up the bottle game', i won two giant domokuns the same day i went.

I just youtube'd a video and this popped up!

Are there cheaper entry tix available at like 7-11 or anything?

Someone told me about a bicycle that you need to ride for 5m, but the handlebars move the wheel in the opposite direction, and you need to push the pedals backwards to go forward... anyone seen this?

eat at burger king.

The only time I've won a "big" prize was shooting the air rifle at a paper target with a star on it; you're supposed to shoot off every bit of the star. I simply took my time and sprayed a nice big circle around the star.

Protip: PNE is gay as shit, id rather spend the money to fly down to cali or drive to six flags in Oregon..

Lol, that's significantly more money to do.

that's for the lansdowne carnival, don't think its there at pne

I saw it at playland/pne before.

you can either get the coupon printed or they hand it out at the front of the gate on tuesdays, playland after 2pm costs 10.58 for admission. A must try ride is definitely the Atmosfear. its the new ride at playland this year, pretty much a giant version of the swing set going 70 km/h. Such a sick view while on it.

Yeah, they've definitely had it at Playland. I think it's only during the PNE, when the other carnies bring their games in as well.

"HACKS" :lol

I've won a couple prizes on the cross bow game, the trick is not using the sights since they're fucked, just use the arrow shaft.

My family always ends up spending THOUSANDS at the PNE so not for me :P.

Hanging out at the casino too much?

PNE just isn't the same without demolition derbies
at least there's still Super Dogs and mini doughnuts.

Only thing I go there for is mini donuts, jerk chicken and to play the bowling ball game. I don't even know why I bother with the latter, even if I always win - the prizes just sit around for 6 months til I can find someone to give them to.

Anyone know about free passes (during PNE) through the casinos or using Gold Cards?
