VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Some enjoy the climb up, for others it makes them want to throw up!
This morning, the City of Vancouver announced a couple of new heritage sites and they’re both on PNE grounds.

The ride is the only one of its kind left in the country.
The Pacific Coliseum was also named a heritage site. It was built in 1968 and housed the Vancouver Canucks from 1970-1995.
Don’t forget to try the food at the Fair at the PNE, and you can even get a fully balanced meal! Nevermind that it’s deep fried.

“That, we are hoping it will take off like the mini-doughnuts did, but the mini-doughnuts took a couple of decades to get where they are. So, we will hold on and keep selling our deep fried caramel apple pies and soon it will be a staple of the fair.” makes deep fried pies and he is hoping they are the next mini-doughnuts.
There is also, for the first time at the fair, some gourmet burgers made up of kangaroo, camel, wild board and alligator.
