Here are ten new attractions being added to the Old Home Week midway this year:
The Ol’ Up and Down: A series of ladders of different height and lengths.
Cat Scratch Fever: Attendants dump a can of tuna over your head and lock you in a shipping container with a dozen cats.
The Fixed Link: A rope bridge that will probably hold together for a bit longer. Hopefully.
The PEI ER experience: Not to be confused with VR — you sit in a waiting room for 14 hours and are given two Tylenol and a popsicle afterwards.
The Rotten Borough: A Ferris wheel that is mostly empty but still has a long line and is built on an eroding foundation.
The ‘Member Ship: Remember the UFO gift shop from Rainbow Valley? It’s just that. It doesn’t move or anything. You just get to remember your innocent childhood in it.
Spinnegan’s Wake: Much like a Merry-go-round, but vaguely Irish themed. No one really understands it, but it is critically acclaimed and touted as the best ride by all your friends who went to UPEI and studied English literature.
Crushing Truth: A mechanical fortune teller for those over 40. Sample automated fortunes include “Your knees will never work the same again,” “He/she isn’t coming back to you, so move on,” and “You know you have hair everywhere now, right?”
Decapitator 2000: Despite the name, it is not exactly as it seems. It’s just the Decapitator 1000 with blue paint.
Chickens in a rink: Not a ride, you just get to see chickens in a hockey rink. It’s just as fun as you expect!
