my Day 2 At The Fair Aug.19 My second day at the PNE was a really simple one. Stick to the West end (the 'front of') of the Fair, check in with "For The Love of Drag" at the old Rollerland building, for now called the Roadhouse Bar & Patio; get another corn dog; and check out "specific stuff" at the Market. And that was it for this visit! First off, here's the info. flyer for the PNE. The schedule of shows and events on one side of it... And the (somewhat) easy to read map. A LOT of stuff there. Who's playing, and when, at the main stage in the Fair. The main gate to the Fair. Or the Red Gate as it's known on the map. But before I checked out The Market in the old Forum building... .....And BC Transit's display. I already use transit so I didn't bother to see "what's new" there..... ... I went through this. I always do, every PNE. And hardly anyone else visits, I find. It's a small Japanese-designed garden. The old Garden Auditorium is in back, there. With a gentle 'river and waterfall' in back. What's called a "Teahouse"here. A small path leading up to the water feature. The Garden Auditorium, un-used. Which is a shame, since in previous pre-Covid years, they would put a totally themed display in it. Early displays included Game of Thrones (before Season 2 started up); Hockey and it's history in Canada; The Beatles and their history; and a Dungeon & Dragons display one year. Wish they would start them up again. <sad> Some of the shopping stalls found all over this part of the Fair. And if you have a real compliment and/or complaint. The PNE Administration is here, onsite. Busy, busy. One of the PNE's giant Adirondack chairs. Great for relaxing on and for a good photo op. Many displays (and sales stalls) of Indigenous peoples always here. This setup was called "Canoecultures". And a canoe here, in it's creation process. Today's corn dog came from Chicky's Chicken & Fries stall. No pic of it, though. I ate it up before taking a photo of it. But it was good! Then I headed to the "For The Love of Drag" show. A good sized crowd for this first show of the day, there. The stage looked great. And the show was themed to the Circus. Opening number. What lies, underneath. I thought she was going to swallow it. But no such luck, lol. The tallest performer in the show. Excellent number she did. Total coverup ... ...of this. Even the "crystal ball" on top, glowed in many colours. That was cool to see. On the (sort of) high wire act. After the reveal. Love how her tail just kept sticking out, and swinging around. Nice kitty. This was a really fun number. And much more than a clown, we found out. Will get more pix of this one, when David and I visit the show next week. The whole cast for the bows. I love the way the PNE supports everyone, everywhere. Year after year. After the show, I headed back to the Market. And entered through...um .... the butt end of the building. To find this. West Family Fudge is a mainstay of every PNE. And now it's the only place to get fudge as the spot in Playland (What The Fudge) doesn't sell it any more. Which is sad. They used to have a great selection, there. Got myself the apple with the crushed peanuts all over, in the middle. And they had a pretty good deal on the fudge slices, depending on how many you buy. I bought three. Lemon blueberry; Mango Chili; and French Vanilla. All good and great to end today's visit, with.

If i knew i would get say 10 visit a year then i would really think about it. Season passes, I'm sure you get people who have no clue and money doesn't matter who just check all the boxes and use it 2 times.

Thanks for all that Amy. I would be interested in seeing the numbers over people who purchased the all-Season Fast lane Plus. Hard to see a Family of 4 Forking out $4000 for that.

PLENTY of people have purchased NEW passes from CF parks and used them at other parks first. There is an online activation. People were buying new CW passes immediately when they went on sale. Most didn't even bother with the online activation page. They just work. Same as last year year, the year before, etc. Addons work at all legacy parks despite what the website claims as well. Buy a meal plan at CW while saving money on your pass and you can use it at all CF legacy parks now. Everywhere Jan 1.

EDIT: I have now been proven wrong: https://themeparkreview.com/forum/topic/47688-six-flags-fun-corporate-discussion-thread/page/102/#findComment-1926138 (Original content retained below for posterity) Whatever. It's not worth arguing with you. @thepoint4life23 was asking about buying a new pass through Cedar Point and using it at Kings Island before going to Cedar Point. The Cedar point website explicitly states that you can't do that [https://www.cedarpoint.com/season-passes]: That's what I'm basing my claims on - the statements that have been specifically and deliberately made by the park on their official channels. Statements that they have never made before, indicating that they went out of their way to now make these statements. Why would they publish that statement on every one of the legacy-CF park websites if it wasn't the case? You are basing your assessment of the situation entirely on your own experience with renewals, which are not the same as a new pass activation, and the history of not having to do that. If the chain has demonstrated anything in the past few months )with the Haunt upcharges, removal of Winterfest/HitP, changing of hours at Carowinds' Winterfest to be focused on the daytime, and so on), what "was always the case in the past" no longer applies. I'm telling the person asking questions to be more cautious and either listen to what the official sources say or call them directly and ask. You're telling the person asking the questions to accept your claims on blind faith when you have no actual first-hand experience with doing what they are trying to do and you have no consequences if you're wrong. I hope I'm wrong, I really do, for the sake of anyone buying new passes this year. But the actual evidence presented thus far would indicate that I'm not, and arguing with you further would accomplish nothing. @thepoint4life23, please call both CP and KI guest relations and ask your questions, or wait for someone who actually has experience with a new, non-renewal, pass purchase to respond.

...or their FAQs. It's important to know there will be no blockout dates in 2022.
