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

[Jgresch]

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

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

pne - Google Maps (http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=pne&hl=en&ll=49.277138,-123.044097&spn=0.001479,0.004128&sll=49.277311,-123.043184&sspn=0.001435,0.004128&t=h&radius=0.11&z=19&layer=c&cbll=49.277138,-123.044097&panoid=9cQ7Ugvb31VCYBouVmDxzQ&cbp=12,116.83,,0,8.65)

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

[Zoidberg]

Be prepared to spend a LOT of money

[dlo]

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

[BaoTurbo]

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

[vo_hantu]

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?

[b0unce. [?]]

[124Y]

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.

I saw it at playland/pne before.

[604dragon]

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.

[InvisibleSoul]

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.

[AlphaKappa]

"HACKS" :lol

[MindBomber]

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.

[bloodmack]

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?

[dyan]

During the fair i believe you can use Hastings racecourse cards to get into the fair. But that doesn't cover rides though. Just the shows.

haha i went with 2 of my cousins last summer, since it was the 100 year anniversary, they were giving out ps3's for the "big prizes".

we got to that game and me and 1 cousin took the 2 very end guns while my other cousin took the gun at the other end of the table....and he pretended to be having problems with it not shooting, so while the attendant was helping him, me and my other cousin were shooting out the same star :p but we got caught hahahaha, maybe we'll have better luck this year :p

So we were going to go to Playland tonight... got all ready to go, then hopped on the website to see what time they close... 7 PM!?!? WTF! The latest they EVER close is 8pm, that's ridiculous! What about all the people who work till 5 and then want to go for a date after work? Seems like ridiculously short sighted management to me.

[elcurto99]

Because I am so sick of the PNE I don't think ill be going for a long time.
My super sexy parking spot on Bridgeway St (http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&ll=49.288904,-123.031297&spn=0.0024,0.005681&t=h&layer=t&z=18)
Enjoy!

[spyker]

There's a trick to the ladder game - except I don't know it. :(

The trick to the ladder game is,tell the person who is running the game to not hold the ladder for you when you begin.There is a reason behind it.

If you try without the person holding the ladder for you during the first few steps going up the ladder,your body will balance itself each step of the way,but if you have the person hold the ladder for you,you will lose all balance the second he/she takes their hands off the ladder,then off you fall.Also when climbing the ladder,spread your arms and legs out for more stability,move up the ladder doing a sequence,like right arm+left leg then left arm+right leg.

[Jegz]

The people who are working that ladder game make it look SO fucking easy and they never fall

[Gh0stRider]

Ya close at 7 on weekdays and 8 on weekends. Open later during pne

Hastings Racecourse players will be allowed to enter the grounds through gates 6 and 10 with their HPI (Horse Player Interactive/ Incentive) cards.

VIP guests from the Casino needs to get passes from the Casino for the fair.

Hope this helps!

They had alot of practice walking up the ladder,they want it to look easy so people will spend their money and try it.

IIRC trick for ladder game is don't use the rungs, use the actual ropes instead. if that made any sense...

never heard or seen of the ladder game?

It's "the Beat Tuesdays" where the cost to get in is 9.45+ tax

Killarney Community Centre was selling the passes for $25 which includes taxes. I thought that was a pretty good deal only cause I paid full price last time when I purchased @ the gates. =(

Lol same problem last year with the mini dirtbike, got offered $300 cash going out the door decided not to take it. Got home the damn thing wouldnt start ended up paying $150 to get it running. I did however win an xbox this year from the PNE, i shot out the red star...actually pretty simple when you get the hang of it. It may have been just me not looking hard enough as well but i couldnt find the bottle game.

[LP700-4]

^ Is the star game easy? Ive always seen people play and it seems to be so hard to win.

Well these 50cc's can be massively fussy, everything has to be perfect for it to run. I bought one of them on craigslist, had the same problem, would not start however i tried. Mine was a lemon with a bad spark plug and a clogged carburetor. Make sure you're using 94 octane gas, mixed with 2 stroke oil.

I won a huge stuffed animal from the star game before. It seemed pretty easy to me compared to a lot of the other stuff.

[TL604]

The Crossbow game is pretty easy, only took me a couple shots to figure out how to aim them

[firebird79_00]

I had a somewhat easy time with it, however friends came no where close. I got it on my 4th try, the first 3 i only had a tiny bit left at the top. I was told by someone they used to work at the Kettle Corn place and they would ride the dirtbikes, quads, minibikes etc around after it closed lol. So that probably explains why a few of them are busted.

[FerrariEnzo]

I'd love to see you try to run on that thing. :fullofwin:

hey guys so I taking my little cousins to the PNE in a few days and they want those little minion guys from the movie despicable me, so I was wondering if anyone here knew which games have them and which would be easier to win it from, lol can't disappoint them they been about it for a while.

Save yourself the money and effort.

If you want to go about it sneakily, just go hide in your backpack and pull it out once you're there. I understand that it isn't winning it infront of them but with the prices of the game being so ridiculous, it's hard to justify playing a game to POTENTIALLY win (chances are against you unless you're playing a no risk-small reward type game).

[Gh0stRider]

the minions are at the jump shot game and whack a mole.

[Splmash]

the minions are at the jump shot game and whack a mole.

For the jumpshot game, if you buy $10 (4 shots, I think) you're guaranteed a small one. In fact, even if you hit all your shots, you still only get a small one.
:fulloffuck:

And I won a jumbo toy from whack a mole. $5 a game, but I had to pay for my little brother's game too. $10 for a jumbo toy, not bad, not bad. There was only Southpark toys, so I traded it at another stand where they had minions. They guy there was pretty stupid; they didn't have the jumbo south park but still traded me for 3 medium/large minions. His co worker was like "Dude we don't have those!" but I was gone!

ya the carnies are stupid

did they have the big ones at the very least like a large sized? I'm thinking worst case scenario I just buy out the whole game of whackamole if the prize isn't tiny lol, thanks for info though.

So did anyone of you guys play this and beat it??

I just came back from Playland... but didn't try it...
I was watching so many people fail, because they didn't realize that it's pretty much impossible to do with the staff holding the bottom for you.
Then it almost angered me as I watched the staff show-off how easy it is to do as he demonstrated over and over again
(obviously without anyone holding the bottom). I noticed they also mount on from the side, where their hands are already half way up the ladder.
Unlike how most people mount on from the bottom, and try to crawl up.

I was really tempted to try, and show people how it's done (while exploiting their trick) by telling the staff to not hold on the bottom for me...
but I was too worried that I would still fall off regardless due to inexperience, then making me seem like an arrogant fool...

I'm sure it would still take me at least a few climbs without the staff holding on before I get the hang of it.

[InvisibleSoul]

It's one of those things that with a little practice, your body will learn how to balance... but extremely difficult going in cold turkey never having done it before.

Once you get it, it'll be a piece of cake. That's why the game sign says limit one win per person per year.

How would they know if the staff is on rotation?

Or just simply all the faces they see.

creepy as fuck

[Gh0stRider]

record winner information and verify with identification

[Gumby]

Watch some Youtube videos too - you'll notice that you have to move the (left leg + right arm) or (right leg + left arm) to remain balanced.

[kluk]

i was there last weekend with the gf and won a jumbo size kenny and jumbo size cartman! It was from the whack-a-mole game. You need all 10 people to play in order to win the jumbo prizes.

Another easy game is the one with the soccer ball where you knock off 4 tin cans and the bottle one mentioned above is good too. Everything else is rigged.

[DasHooch]

I heard that admission is cheaper after certain time. Can anyone confirm that and if so, what time?

I left the PNE around 9pm last night. Left through the Hastings Race Horse entrance (at the NW parking) and I didn't see anyone checking for tickets. I wasn't paying too much attention but they might not have been checking parking then either. The Led Zeppelin tribute band was good, so if you feel like a free rock show you could probably catch at least an hour of it.

[HonestTea]

I left around 9pm on Saturday and their was a shitload of people buying tickets for late-night entrance lol (Hastings entrance where the log ride is)

[TheSalesman]

Won a big domo on Friday. This was at the game where you try to toss 2 balls into the bucket without bouncing out. First try, I got 3 balls in a row because he said it was a rebound shot when I bounced it off the rim to keep it in.
I played it again later and for some reason, the balls felt different. And I missed all 3 shots.

[AzNightmare]

:noob: they hold it till you get half way just to give you hope. most people would fall off as soon as all four limbs are off the ground/mat :fullofwin:

yeah, I think the problem with the staff not holding the bottom
would mean you would fall off just trying to mount on, until you get enough practice.

But having the staff holding on at first, then letting go mid way,
means it's near impossible to win the game.

On Youtube, all the videos of the winners don't have any staff holding on at the bottom.
But those ladder games are designed a bit differently. Where the bottom is on the "ground"
so it's stable until you climb further up.

I'll be working at the PNE again so let me know if you want discount tickets.

[BaoTurbo]

Which game is the easiest to get a jumbo prize on an individual play?

[inv4zn]

Every year I win something from Crossbow.

Use the third bow from the left, the sights are most accurate on that one. Fire once, compensate once, maybe twice. If you have any aim you can win one in $15.

The more expensive ones are easier to win. Cheaper ones are harder. They're there to take your money.

For example, I was there all day last Saturday, and the ring toss game ($5 for a bucket of rings) had one winner the entire day.

[Chronix]

has anyone ever actually won the ring toss game?

[FN-2199]

has anyone ever actually won the ring toss game?

I won ring toss once, back in 2007. A nice big Patrick (from spongebob). I try again every year, but haven't won since.

[Chronix]

[bballguy]

I'm going on the 27th and yes could use discount tickets :D

haven't been in 8+ years and can't wait

[Presto]

has anyone ever actually won the ring toss game?

Did it almost 20 years ago. I took all my rings and tossed 'em all at once. Got a jumbo purple dragon.

I think I tried it a second time and failed.:okay:

[BaoTurbo]

^ LOL all in. Literally

[Gnomes]

Did it almost 20 years ago. I took all my rings and tossed 'em all at once. Got a jumbo purple dragon.

They now have rules posted saying something about throwing 1 at a time

[fliptuner]

Anyone know if the bowling ball game is there this year? The one where it's on rails and you have to push it over an incline and into a valley, w/ it coming back or hitting the back?

I usually win enough stuffies for all the nieces and nephews for under $30, before getting banned from it.

[604STIG]

Did it almost 20 years ago. I took all my rings and tossed 'em all at once. Got a jumbo purple dragon.

I think I tried it a second time and failed.:okay:

I won years ago on that game, similar method. Buddies just grabbed handfulls of rings and started tossing them all at once. Went through the bucket in about 10 seconds but one miraculously landed. The guy running the game even tried to accuse me of jumping the rail and placing a ring on the bottle, that's how dead set they were against giving out a prize. Much arguing later I got a Giant blu bumble bee (not the transformers kind)

[Ludepower]

If you're a decent pool player...the 4 ball pool game is quite easy. Too bad you cant win jumbo sizes anymore cause every good pool player was abusing it haha...only large size now for $10 a try.

Trick with 4 ball pool is to break gently so that all 4 balls are close together. After the break you should already know which course of action you'll need to win.
The 2 top corners give you the desired distance and angle...side pockets and 2 lower corners means your break was too hard...making it more difficult....stay away from side pockets!

I suggest you play a couple $2 games to get a feel of the table and stick before you bet $10 or practice at a pool hall and test yourself first. They nerfed the prizes...so it's up to you if you think it's worth it.

[MWR34]

I said it last year, and Ill say it again. Whack-a-mole is the easiest game there if u have quick hand/eye coordination. And always wait till 9 other players are there, and be the 10th. Best prices for your buck.

[AW607]

Every year I win something from Crossbow.

For example, I was there all day last Saturday, and the ring toss game ($5 for a bucket of rings) had one winner the entire day.

Ugh I tried the crossbow thing, I tried to take up the slack in the trigger but didn't realize how much of a hair trigger it had. It shot before I even had a chance to focus :fuuuuu:

Spent a solid $15 on the shoot out the star thing too. A friend told me it's best to shoot around the star instead of right at it. I was so close but some of the shreds were hanging on by just a hair :okay:

[inv4zn]

^Some chick was there beside me and she shot completely off the target, even missed the rice sack holding the target.

The attendant kid was so terrified that he went completely white. He was filipino too hahaha

[BaoTurbo]

Idk something about winning the prize for a gf or a friend just makes it feel so exhilerating than buying it for $20. Just me but I mean I would really buy it if I got desperate and go to gf and be like "hey babe, I just won this for you but you just didn't see it :troll:"

just a little heads up for those going to the pne this year. The 22nd is Van city day which means fair admission is only $5 throughout. Children under 13 get in for free as always and just a tip for some of the parents; never buy tickets. Those eventually cost more than buying ride passes.

Isn't 20th free as well?

The Ex just got PNE and full ride tickets for $48.75, is that a good deal? I havent been in 10years.

Entrance to PNE with rides are NEVER a good deal. The rides will always be packed during the fair period. Best is to go pre or post fair for rides and the fair just for shows and shit. I went to PNE a couple of weeks ago on a weekday and line ups were hardly any. All under 5 minutes before 12 noon and under 10 minutes later in the day (even for the hellavator)

^oops, I meant to say that the rides during the fair period is not good. Monday will be packed no matter the time because of the fair. That is why I dont suggest doing rides.
