The PNE has evolved so much.
I remember the buildings, the lumbermans show, demolition derby, bingo tents, etc. All gone now.
Every year people say, "It's the same thing every year," but they still end up going - to see and be seen, perhaps?
It kind of reminds me of this song.
Gypsy's, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsy's, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
I used to go for the thrill of the rides when I was young. Then, it was going there with the girlfriend(s), to show off my skills. Then it became taking the kids for the rides. Then became going to check out the Showmart and Home Show. Now it's going to try and recapture the essence of going to the PNE. Hunky Bills, Jimmy's Burgers, Mini Donuts, etc.
Gotta go at least one day every year............. to lay my money down, so to speak.

As I child I used to contemplate going on the pirate ship ride. Went on it last year for the first time and sat right at the back, I was terrified as shit.
when i think of Chicago i think of 25 or 6 to 4, then you kinda think ok they must have more hits you recognize. Sat in the beer garden for their show last year and i was like WTF..
A) dont recognize 90% of their songs
B) They all sound the same lol

Agreed. When i first saw that list a few weeks ago, I was like... whoa...
We're buying out tickets to Boyz II Men and 112 today, I HIGHLY recommend checking out Boyz II Men, they put on a fantastic show, and they all still can sing great.
Love going to the fair. Went to PNE last year and will be in a week or so for adult nights. 7pm-midnight. Open liquor, no kids, just adults having fun and the lines move quickly and are pretty damn short. Best ride hands down, that 2 seater ride thats $15 or $20 that spins around going 120km/hr or some jazz. So fun to no hands it and you get to see the entire city/surrounding city and coast. Last year I went on it 5 times in one visit. As an adult, if you enjoy the atmosphere go to adult nights.

Some of my favourite family photos were of me enjoying the kiddy rides with my parents. I haven't been to the PNE in a few years now.
Now that I have a toddler, I plan to go this year along with the grandparents.

I went on The Beast last month and I had never regret going on a ride as much as I did that one.

Any reason why? That's one of the rides I look forward to that and atmospfear and the wooden coaster. Not looking forward to the line ups. Going to the adult nights was the best thing ever. Line ups took minutes to get on a ride. So much nicer without a thousand yelling kids around.
I had one of the pickle corndogs and wow those things are good! Can't wait to crush back a few of them. Looking at their site I'm tempted to try out the deepfried burger.
