  1. It's just ironic that they eliminated a safety measure and marketed it as an enhancement on a ride that killed someone.

  4. So you only get 4 extra rides with your fair? Sounds reallly cheap to me. At least you got a "trackless" train

  5. My visit yesterday to The Fair, was mainly to check out the gardens and Sanctuary that reside on the PNE site. AND to get myself some chicken from Henry's BBQ! Unfortunately, the chicken I got turned out to be somewhat dry, and not very juicy. No matter. The order of fries was f-ing HUGE! So much so, I had nothing to take the extra fries home with me. The container was too greasy, so sadly, I dumped about 1/3 that was left, into the compost bin. The first garden I visited was The MOMIJI Japanese Garden which was located beside the Garden Auditorium, where a (usual) themed display was installed. Past ones include, Game of Thrones; Hockey; The Beatles; Dungeons and Dragons, etc. But not since covid has there been anything there, except an ongoing circus school for young kids and teenagers. Which is great, all the same. Anyway, this garden has been around for several decades. Not very many stone lanterns and/or stone statues to be seen. But it's a quiet place, with running water into the small lake the garden surrounds. It's amazing how The Fair sounds fall away, when you're here or in the Sanctuary. The Italian Gardens, not so much. ^ The un-used Garden Auditorium looming over the Garden. Fun Trivia: This is where David and I attended Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of The Moon Tour". In the centre of the building , we all sat on the floor. And then I remember this lemon-scented smoke coming from the stage, and 'wafting' (wafting?) over everybody! It was trippy. What I remember..... Not exactly a Sacred Temple. But good enough, for sudden (and ongoing) rainfall. The Italian Gardens are more out in the open space of the fairgrounds. And a somewhat orderly presentation of walkways and fountains, etc. They also share space with two 'attractions' for the kids. One is the Discovery Farm, which was usually found in the Barns. The outdoor setting looks much nicer, to me. Also, a performance space called Toon City to entertain the young ones. The Discovery Farm looks great outdoors, and in this setting. The Toon City stage. Then it was time to get my BBQ chicken! This is what 1/4 BBQ Chicken, looked like. I bought fries as well. And a beer <g>. Too ~ many ~ fries! I couldn't eat them all. And as I said before, the chicken was more dry than juicy. (Flower)Pot-heads. After this, it was on to The Sanctuary. And instead of walking around the whole place, for $2 I took the PNE Express train to circle the green space. Which reminds me. This whole area used to be the row of three separate buildings, side by side, joined together by overhead walkways between buildings. Several decades later, all three buildings were removed, to create a massive green space on the fairgrounds, including a lake, and several spots to just chill out and enjoy the greenery. The train didn't get that close to the centre lake and other pathways. But it was a nice casual way to enjoy this as part of the PNE, with a lot of the noise from The Fair being muffled by all the trees, etc. We all agreed (on our train) that "This was the best ride at the PNE - and cheaper too!" The train. And look! It's a TRACKLESS ride! Got a pic of myself (finally) at The Fair, on The Train. The rest of our train load. The lake is there, once you look past all that greenery! Very woodsy here. Noted. A better look at the lake in The Sanctuary. On my way out of The Fair I saw this. Coming back tomorrow (Thursday) with David.
