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.

Nah, people who are 5 minutes from death are still out their hawking their spaces lol

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.

Another year of PNE, and still not able to buy the refillable souvenir cup and souvenir popcorn bucket.

From what I told from one of the kids working at the stalls, the only time they are stocked is during the summer time for Play Land, once it's out, no more restock

What's the consensus on the best mini donuts at the PNE, which stall takes the crown?

I have all the colours of them. Green, Red, Yellow............... maybe that's all there was. Anyway, the Beast one. I have earlier ones that are collectible items, like the anniversary edition.

I take it with me every year. Still a dollar a refill ($1.12). It shouldn't be taxed at all, but not arguing, jbol. It's a good deal. Use it the one day and back to storage for another year.

Since they got rid of the old traditional one I think now it’s just about whoever is actually turning them over

Had a bag from the stall near the bottom of the animal pens etc. by where the sushi taco place is, they were very good

^You remember the name? Going to Sean Paul on Tuesday so I wanna stock up on the way out.

When you say stock up do you mean "fill your belly till it's bursting before I walk out the gates" or "I'm gonna freeze two hundred of these so I can satisfy my midnight cravings and have something to eat on cheat days"?

I'm here for the latter.

.

SinCity donuts I think? We bought a bag from them last night. They only have the one stall. the other one is another vendor? and then there's the PNE mini donuts on the Playland side.

There was this one vendor on the way up to Playland just before the trampoline and diving show.Mini doughnuts by the bucket. Not sure if they were any good or not, Bucket o' mini doughnuts. Nice!!!

went last night with my wife and daughter..animal barn, kids parade, pig races etc

had fun

Lol we failed. My wife kept telling my kids we will be going PNE today. PNE is closed on Mondays :failed:

Got the $8.50 for 15 mini donuts with the 5 pick-up stalls, garbage!
