I thought they banned that stuff b/c it was messing up the neighbourhoods? Parking close is so much better with a little kid though, I don't even think about doing anything else when I'm out nowadays.

I’m gonna go today. Seems like fun… I haven’t been in 20+ years

Drove by the PNE area yesterday. Those grandmas and grandpa's selling their lot for parking were charging from $15-25.

Going to Ludacris tonight. Got 2nd row upper level tix

I attended the PNE with my kids on Tuesday. Despite the discount, I ended up spending around $200 on entry, ride passes, food, and games. The food selection was dreadful. I finally decided to give Jimmy's Lunch a try, and my gosh, the hamburger was beyond disgusting. It tasted like mystery meat. Literally burned $30.

Maybe I'm getting old, but Playland/PNE is depressing and needs a major overhaul. I actually find the amusement rides that come to Richmond Centre in spring to be a better bargain.

I think they are going to have 2 pretty big down years this and next while the new amphitheater is being built

They really have to reinvent the entire thing when it opens in 2026 imo.. should be new rides, concessions, everything to revitalize the entire thing otherwise it’s just going to fade into oblivion

The new roller coaster was great, however, we waited over an hour for a 34 second ride (we timed it in line) they really dropped the ball in not building a coaster that could load multiple cars at once as opposed to having to wait for the single car to complete its ride and then unload and reload imo

Like most things Government, having the rules in place is one thing but enforcing is another topic.

First weekend, it was $25.00. Quickly changed after that. Being a Sunday, I parked for free on Hastings.

Worth going this year or no?

PNE bent me over good on Friday night.

Spent $200 on drinks during the Luda concert, which was expected.

Don't get the fucking BBQ, I spent $45 on the solitary BBQ stall they have there, and between my other 2 buddies we all agreed it was the worst BBQ we've ever had. You like dry meat? These guys got it.

Brisket = Dry, Ribs = Super Dry, Cornbread = Dry -- how do you fuck up cornbread? Complete waste of money.

On a side note, I also smelt the rankest stinkiest fart in years at the drink lineup in the Coliseum. Whoever that person was, man your stomach must've been FUCKED. The entire line was gagging for no lie 5 minutes straight, even 10 minutes later chicks were walking by the lineup covering their noses from the lingering smell of sulfurous eggs and shit.

Amazing stuff.

Yea I was lined up for the bbq yesterday and walked away when I saw what people were getting, totally wack food offerings this year

Went to the bare naked ladies concert last night was actually quite good outside of the fucking loser sitting behind us talking non stop about how his wife cheated on him and his life is in shambles. Luckily there were enough enoty seats near the top to move around

You don't have much more time to decide.

PNE food is never really good. We bring our own water and get some grilled cheese for the kids. I did go to the BBQ stall and got some pork ribs. It was not amazing but it's kind of a rites of passage thing every year.
