Super EX has been the mainstay of the young and old for years, the last time I visited it was more than 20 years ago! Now it's time to let the young ones experience Super Ex for the first time. Not much has changed (which is good) the Midway has some interesting new additions but the old favorites such as the Ferris-wheel and Scrambler are still here as well. We always visit on opening day to get in for free ($12 Adult $8 child) the price per ride has kept pace with the times with most rides between 3-5 tickets ($1 per ticket) for the die-hard's they offer a bracelet for $40 which offers unlimited rides. The games of chance are are still here and as popular as ever, the exhibition halls are also still here and offer quite a few distractions for the parents and children. One trend I enjoy are the free shows you can enjoy while the kids keep busy with the rides I counted five places to stop and catch a show spread through-out the grounds. If you've never been it's well worth a visit if you enjoyed visiting in previous years the formula has not changed much and you should enjoy a return visit!

2010 is the last year for Super EX at Lansdowne park, it's hard to believe the EX has been located here for the past 122 years. Here are a few images from the last year at Lansdowne park.
