clewis4u Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 The cost of your trip on the 407 depends on factors such as: * time of day you enter 407 ETR * vehicle class * distance and section(s) travelled * correct mounting and use of a valid transponder Here's the rates: http://www.407etr.com/About/custserv_fees.asp If you don't have a transponder, refer to the right column.

RBOrrell Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 ^Someone suggested Wegz Entertainment Center (giant sports bar, in a nutshell) for the Sunday evening, though you could go to the CN Tower, Hockey Hall of Fame, etc. if so inclined. You could even go to Ontario Place or Centreville (Dragon Wagon credit!!!) if it's open late enough upon your arrival. Be advised that the country of Canada closes at 5 p.m. on Sundays. (Also note that Vaughan is still a half-hour drive from downtown, and even then that's not factoring in traffic. Any Torontonians know if the GO train or subway runs up that far north?) Wegz is close to CW - not sure where the trip will be bedding down for the night but Wegz is about 1 km east of Jane/Rutherford and CW's main entrance is just west of there. GO Trains do not run on weekends on the north-south routes. TTC Subways only run as far north as Finch on Yonge line and Downsview (Sheppard/Dufferin) on Spadina line. However, TTC buses and GO buses run from the CW area to subway stations. Check the GO website ( http://gotransit.com ) and look for bus 60 or http://www.ttc.ca for the TTC website. A little south of CW there are two complexes. One (at Jane and Highway 7) has a Dave and Busters arcade and after 9:00pm it's adults only. There is also an AMC theatre complex there. On the other side of the highway, there is a large Famous Players theatre complex that has an Imax screen and I know The Dark Night is playing there now. There is not a heck of alot to do in Vaughan at night unless you have a Trans Am or Camero and you want to get a meatball sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBOrrell Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I think that I can attend (just need to ask the boss for a day off) but I might leave early to try to make it to work on Tuesday in Cleveland. For the locals, how much time can I expect the Toronto traffic to add to the 5 hour drive home? A couple months ago I had to drive to Cuyahoga Falls. It was during your May Memorial Day weekend - left home at 10:00am and arrived just after 4:00pm. It was not bad. I travel from north of CW to the Hamilton area often and I have a route for you..... Leave CW - take 400 s to 401 w 401 w to 403 w (just past the airport) 403 w turns into QEW Niagara bound near the Ford plant in Oakville stay on QEW to Fort Erie and cross at Buffalo You should not encounter much traffic going that way on the Monday night, most traffic will be going the other way as the long weekend crowds are on their way home. The only exception to that is the 400 s for about 10 km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Wegz is close to CW - not sure where the trip will be bedding down for the night but Wegz is about 1 km east of Jane/Rutherford and CW's main entrance is just west of there. If it's where I think they're (and I'm) staying, the hotel would be about 10 minutes drive up Jane to CW and even closer to Wegz. Interesting fact about the weekend GO schedule. Somehow I forgot about the other mass(ive) transit options available. (I haven't been to Wonderland since '99, nor stayed in Tronno downtown for about 4 years. Even then I just walked, though in '99 we stayed at the Royal York and Toronto itself was our main draw, therefore we used the subway/GO system a lot.)

dannerman Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Sorry for being last-minute, I just need to know one thing before registering... Are employees of other Cedar Fair parks included in the 'Season Pass' price? I know they get into the park normally for free, but I don't know if it "counts" for this event. (There was an issue this year with Solace that Knott's was not recognizing other parks' employees and they had to pay the "full" rate, unlike years past) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 ^ Again, I'm not sure because it wasn't discussed. I would think that the answer would be "yes" you should be able to get in, but again be prepared to pay the difference just in case it's turned down at the gate. We only negotiated for a "season pass" rate which DOES include if people have pre-paid or comp tickets that would be good on that date, but I'm not sure how an employee ID would work. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
