Since there is a slight possibility of a trip to Toronto, I would like to know if CNE would be worth a 5 hour trip, along with PCW planned. I would alo like to know what is at CNE.

Being an older guy...I think I can shed some light on it.

When I was a kid, the midway was just filled with every kind of Carnival ride you can think of. It was massive. Now I'm not just saying that in the "things seemed bigger when you were a kid" cliche. I mean, they had a variety of rides. Couple coaster style rides, dark rides, zipper/ferris wheel rides, spinners, mazes etc. etc. etc.

I had a gig there about a year ago and was really looking forward to going....they didn't have a lot to choose from. A drop tower, frisbee and the old' Swarzkopf (sp?) were the only serious rides they had there. Aside from that, a couple kiddie rides. If you're just looking at the numbers....it wasn't to much more then you're local carnival.

I would never say "Don't go, because you wont have a good time", just don't have high expectations in the ride department. They've always got some festivals going on and some exhibitions. But the rides seem to have gone by the way-side.

Having said all this....to be honest....I think it's closed for the season. You should look that up to be sure.

The CNE, or the EX (as it's referred to) is closed, it's only open for the two weeks before Labour Day.
It is alot of fun though, I've been going every year since I was born. They had some new rides this year that were a lot of fun. They also got some really good food in the food building and a lot of cool buildings to look around in and go shopping for some really nice stuff.
If you're really intrested in the CNE, go next year.

Well, I might go next year. I'm done with parks for 2005.

Gee, that comes across like something bad happened and you've made the choice to a break.

Nope, it's just that I only go to parks in the summer, April Break and feb Break because I'm only in Middle School. Trust me, I would have gone if I could.
