Wow... I wish I had something like that around me.

It seems so under priced.

Holy sh!t.


That is just amazing. $99 for a season pass? That's amazing. 5 trips and you're payed off. I'd be there every day anyway. Wow.

You realize Canadian dollars have been worth more for years?

Wow... $0.65 difference. I should drive up there to buy all my sh!t then.

That's almost as good of savings as switching to Geico.

The Canadian dollar is stronger then the American dollar which means that it has more buying power. You get more for your buck.

As an example from south of the border, it would cost you 10.83 of Pesos to purchase the same thing that $1 US dollar would get you.

^ yes but things are priced differently too. Sure the Canadian dollar is worth more but the same **** COSTS more up there too.

Go to Squampton and buy beer (~$20/6-pack). With the exchange rate you are still paying way more.

Just because a dollar value is high doesn't mean that you get more for your dollar...

... Just because a dollar value is high doesn't mean that you get more for your dollar...

It's the theory of currency exchange. It was just the best way to describe it I thought. I was just trying to give nyDipl0mat a quick lesson in it cause it seemed like he may have been confused asking why someone would actually pay more.

And for the record... no, I would not travel to Canada just to purchase anything (unless it was illegal in the US and not in Canada).

i forget which city they build it in but they had rails built in the city on a hill. you had to hike but it was free. 100 bucks for any season pass is damn worth it in my opinion
