Hey, my home park! Luckily i dont have to deal with the nightmare parking because i have a family friend who lives very close 😅 but from before she moved i can confirm its ridiculous. Cant believe no one has mentioned the mini donuts! They're an absolute must to try if you go there. My family always brought back a pack every time we went to the park. For what it's worth, my favourite ride is the Atmosfear :3
I used to go there throughout the 80s all the time, sometimes 3 or 4 days in a row. The last time I was at the PNE was in 1994, I had just moved to Winnipeg for work during the NHL playoffs, watched the Canucks take out the Flames in Game 7 at the Calgary bus station, but I went back to Vancouver to see a Prong/Sepultura/Pantera concert at the PNE in August, it was a great show, it was the last time I rode the old wooden coaster too.
@@CanobieCoaster Back then you had to pay 25 cents for 5 minutes of tv time in a bus station/airport, that game went into double OT, it took more than an entire roll of quarters to watch, a roll is $10. Now we have cell phones and bus stations/airports have free wi-fi. I feel ripped off.
I live in Vancouver and the learning support class in my high school goes to play land every year. This year was my second time and the wooden coaster was actually working this time. I totally recommend coming here if you live nearby. 9.5/10 from my limited experiences
The seatbelts unfortunately make it almost impossible to get airtime, as they come really tight and don’t budge, however there is a solution as you can hold the seatbelt at it’s max length the whole ride and get the full package like before
Dammit. So you can't control the tightness to render them "might as well not be there" like you can on rides like Skyliner and Jack Rabbit and they instead tighten like car seat belts?
@@urbex_coastersyea they do unfortunately, and like when car seatbelts tighten and don’t come loose. but they are pretty easy to hold at max length, and that is basically what the experience was like without them from what I can tell
@@panzerofthelake7661 Are they attatched to ride mechanisms? For example I have gotten away with riding Steel Force with no seat belt and just the lapbar, undoing the seatbelt as soon as it leaves the station and it has no censor to force you to put it on (part of why I hold that ride in higher reguards than a lot of enthusiasts I think). Is it like Steel Force? ie there but not enforced by censors?
@@urbex_coastersas far as I know it isn’t, as it’s an older ride, but I never tried undoing my seatbelt during the ride so idk, holding it at the base worked fine for me
I rode it at Boblo. It might have been my first coaster. I have a layover next summer from 7 am to 4 pm and will be looking to get a couple rounds on Coaster!!!
I’m currently on my way there for the opening day of Playland, fingers crossed I’ve lost enough weight to get onto The Beast, as for the seatbelts on Coaster, I found absolutely no difference between it with or without the seatbelts, I still got insane airtime and the seatbelt didn’t lock at all.
I read that the coaster isn't even open so none of the roller coasters are operating :/// I don't think Playland is worth it anymore ngl, they keep getting rid of more rides
@@flocky1 yeah the new coaster isn’t open until June or July, I am glad they got rid of Corkscrew as it just wasn’t that good of a coaster and it was too rough. I wish they had listened to me though and got the Giant Frisbee from HUSS instead of The Beast as that one is taller and faster and can have up to 50 people on it per ride cycle, instead of 20 on The Beast.
@@Magromancer Coaster was running today, opened a couple hours after everything else. I went for the first time and it was running incredibly well. Some of those hills are nutty.
@@wade7488 most definitely, it looks like a really unassuming coaster but once you get on it, it really shows just how good it really is, even with the seatbelts.
It still throws me off a bit when the KMG pendelum rides get called a "Frisbee" since I always have to think about the old traveling Huss Frisbee's. But that's me I guess. I rode 4 different KMG XXL models and I love them. While the G-forces aren't the strongest in the world, most people probably think they're more than strong enough. Ever since I rode those I get bored of the Freak Out's or Afterburners. I'm glad they choose a Starflyer from Funtime. The ride experience of their towers are my favorite. The Hell's gat Top Spin looks like it could go on our german fairs and it would fit perfectly. The Enterprise rides are always good family rides. Perfect to invert without having too much forces.
I wonder what promoted TH-cam to finally start recommending me videos that is actually located near me. Also due to me just watching this, so I could post this comment as I’m about to sleep, I haven’t actually watched the video, so this may have been mentioned. But apparently the coaster, Corkscrew was used to film some scenes for the Devils Flight opening disaster, in Final Destination 3. I had no idea, until I learned about that through Dead Meat’s Kill Count when it first released. Lol
I wish I got a chance to ride Coaster before it got seatbelt. I’m a massive fan of Phoenix at Knobles for I probably would have loved it without the seatbelts.(Through I would still probably really like it with the seat belts, just not as much).
Anyone remember the time Duncan McLeod fought Roddy Piper on the wooden coaster in an episode of Highlander? My buddy Jay was one of the caterers who made sammiches and fetched coffee for the actors and crew when they filmed it.
@@CanobieCoaster Highlander: The Series was filmed all over Greater Vancouver, that episode was called "Epitaph For Tommy" Season 2 Episode 10 from 1993. Playland looked a lot different 31 years ago, last time I was there was 1994 with Jay, we were there to see a Prong/Sepultura/Pantera concert. Lots of locations are gone/changed now, Tessa's art studio in the first 2 seasons was in Blood Alley in Gastown is still there but Duncan's dojo was near Alexander St & Columbia St overlooking the trains near where the pump station is was demolished, there's a new condo/apartment building there now. The scene of Richie jumping his motorcycle out a window of a rotting warehouse in Season 3 is The Shipyards Night Market in North Van now. In 30 years you'll look back on your 2024 video and think about how much has changed.
If you can control the seatbelt tightness I say it probably doesn't effect Coaster. Some may know how much I rave about Skyliner, I think some of y'all are reflexively tightening the seatbelt rather than having it so loose it might as well not be there like I have. PNE Playland will be my home park this season, I am super excited for Coaster and I think Senzafia2 (I'm gonna keep calling it that, stylizing it like Tonnerre 2 Zues is just too perfect) will likely be the best ride Zamperla has ever built (which isn't saying much, but I do think it looks like a genuinely good ride).
I love the scenery of this park and area of Canada, it reminds me of a Carly Rae Jepson music video - minus the wretched music. The Pacific West of Canada and US is just awe-inspiring. So Beautiful. Also, I definitely enjoy rides on the Enterprise. I was deathly afraid of Witches Wheel at C. Point as a kid, but once I rode it, I discovered that it is a very calm and relaxing ride and breeze. I could nap on that thing.
@@dmarshall9927 @dmarshall9927 I'd call Cultus Lake Adventure Park a theme park. B.C. should have more thrilling rides, but I think they're expanding PlayLand and hopefully adding more thrilling rides at some point in the future.

Hopefully Western Canada gets new and better coasters now that Mindbender is gone
ThunderVolt is a start.
@@CanobieCoaster definitely, we get a real launch coaster for once, not including Backlot
@@SRBAnimate it's because now it's called the life ender .
Last time I was at the PNE the year was 1998. Getting way too expensive. Last I heard parking was 20.00 bucks. Probably more now??
I expected it given how the park is in a city.
Even water is 5 bucks
@@calmorale7724 I have been told the vendors pay two grand per day to sell their products at the PNE.

Have fun!
I, GO THERE NEXT WEEK!
My parents all rode the corkscrew, but when it operated as the screamer at boblo island
Cool!

same!
they really have a KMG XXL pendulum ride?? I love those, I mainly know them from travelleling fairs in Germany
Wade shows (a carnival provider in Florida) is gonna start traveling with them in 2024, there is also one in Carolina
Yes they do!

I love the XXL model.
there are parking restrictions around the area, where a permit is required on the vehicle. this restriction is when the P.N.E is going on
Thanks for clarifying!
I was in Vancouver during the first week of October, though I didn't go to Playland nor did know what days or hours they were open during October.
Their website is a bit confusing to read.

It was a movie star. The Flash also filmed at least 2 episodes here.
@@CanobieCoaster I knew they filmed in Vancouver, but I had no idea an episode or 2 was filmed in Playland. I’ll have to find those episodes.
@@adventurekitty101 also it was used in one of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies
@@KiaFursuits Oh yeah. I know the scene, with Greg and Rowley. Forget which movie though.
ThunderVolt is said to open next month. im so hyped
Nice!
A good ‘ol zamperla family launch coaster

i rember riding coaster when i was younger and i had the same expericen where i was thrown all about do to my size. i still wil not go back on
It has belts now.
@@CanobieCoaster that’s good. Still not going on
FrightNight is a cool experience if ever here in October
waited 3 hr for the Thundervolt lol fucking sucked . 2 people had to leave form heat stroke
Maybe I'll be in that area in the fall at some point.
Good video. Loved it 👍
Thanks!
i wish they had a inverting roller coaster
The park used to have a Vekoma Corkscrew
@@dustmybroom288 i know im saying i hope the get a new inverting coaster
