went to playland last year during covid and there was barely any lines.. same deal limited tickets per day.. was pretty sweet although u had to mask on when ur walking around + in line but that was worth it lol

Ever go to the adult nights where it was 19+ to enter? Walk around with beer, no kids yelling and screaming, barely any lines, and not have to worry about the conversations we have knowing there isn't a 5 year old behind us listening to the crap we say and then repeating it to their parents who are sitting beside them.

PNE opens tomorrow. I have tickets for Sunday. If any of you are going on Saturday, can you let the rest of us know what to expect? I'll do the same. I received an email from them letting me know there are no in and out privileges.
The Marketplace is outdoors. Hopefully under good cover. All of a sudden, it's sounding pretty shitty. However, I'm still looking forward to it.

Was pretty upset to find that my favorite ride, the wooden roller coaster will be shut down all year and several other rides are currently down 😔

Daughter wants to stay for the pyro show? fireworks? My sons will be gone in under an hour, lol. Anyway, with no in and out privileges, that's gonna suck.
Gotta take my seniors nap, cot dam it.................at least twice. There's no bingo, either. Maybe casino. I wAnder if Hastings Park Casino is part of the PNE, gulolol. I'd be "in" for that.
Hoping stewie will give deets on what's worth going to see. BTW, I hate the agridome. The smell of animals make me throw up faster than Vansterdamned's girlfriend.

It’s very busy and very scaled down. Basically appreciate it for what it is and support this year so it can be back in full capacity next. I’d say 3/4 of the rides are available. Lots of kiddy rides etc. The big shows such as super dogs is in the amphitheater where the demolition derby used to be.
We are a 5 minute walk to the gate so we will come 5-6 times just to eat and drink but I’d say if you live in Surrey/Langley and pay for a family to come out it’s somewhat disappointing.
Lots of food options and gambling is still here lol, hit dat 10 to 1 with $5 down

Was nothing special. Same as always only less people which still seemed like a lot but that's probably because it was the first day. If you're adamant on the whole social distancing thing this is not the place to be lol. Out of all the rides we went on, which was basically everything multiple times, we only got delayed once when the ride had to be shut down for 10 minutes so everything could be sanitized.
I hope I don't have a daughter one day... The 12-16 year olds there need a smack on the back of the head. One who was in front of us was bragging to her friends that she had stolen some vodka from her parents and mixed it in her water bottle and all her teeny bopper friends thought she was bad ass. Some of them wear clothes that you'd expect to see a 20+ year old in a club wearing. Overheard a group of 3 girls dressed like hookers talk to their friends in the same line up but a bit further away so they had to speak a but louder than normal.. Those 3 girls were boasting how they put respectable clothes on when they left home and then took them off when they got to one of their houses so their parents wouldn't see them like that...
Games are all cashless and the prizes arent that great this year. Market place was mediocre at best. Managed to watch the superdogs but their website says 5:30pm whereas its actually 7. Prize home was horrible. Its like walking through an empty room with some ikea furniture and pictures on the wall of what it would look like. Challenger map piece was a let down. I thought it would be a lot bigger than what it was. Seemed like a 15' x 15' section and I've no clue where that section of the map was from.
Would I go back again this year? Probably not. Unless I was in the area and wanted to pig out on some food, which even then was average.
Hotdog shoved in a pickle and deep fried was an okay corn dog. Bacon wrapped foot long hotdog was meh, perogies were okay, chow mein was meh. Ate more donuts than I probably should've.
^ we grabbed a bag on the way out from the one closest to the “green gate” they were pretty good I’d say, almost on par with the classics
One thing that really pisses me off snd is a huge mistep for them is they have these fucking 75 year olds serving booze. Like Jesus Christ the guy takes 10 minutes to serve 2 beers when there’s a 8 group lineup, gets you to pay first, waits for that, pours the beers. Like booze should be a priority in service speed
I’d say mask usage was about 15% or so? While the capacity is much lower the size of the total area is also much smaller. It never really felt overly crowded though. Pics from the 7pm super dog show:
We brought my niece who is 3 to go on some rides etc. And it seemed pretty overwhelming to her because she’s never really been to an event like this with so many people as she really doesn’t know much more than the covid world lol

Damn, got me a Beast cup. I’m all good now. $9.00 with no refills. I don’t care, I just want the only cup that’s big and fits in the cup holder of my daily driver.
I’m having a colossal onion, atm. Good shit. Fully loaded.

Gonna be heading out to the PNE in a bit with the wife and kid and another family. I hope our experience is not as bad as stewie's review was. I'm not expecting anything too fantastic as these are Covid years, but I do hope it's something fun for my daughter to experience for the first time.
