    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    For those looking to gorge themselves at the trough of bizarre food creations, the CNE is back, and it has you covered — with a watermelon burger, pickle cotton candy and a peanut butter chocolate corn dog among this year’s gut-busting options.

    Other foods unveiled by Canadian National Exhibition organizers Wednesday include:

    Gastronomes will no doubt focus on the deep-fried delights, but there are loads of other attractions coming to The Ex this year too (just maybe avoid the rides after your third helping of Thanksgiving poutine).

    Officials say there will be seven new rides alongside recurring favourites, including a brand new roller coaster called The Outlaw and the over 45-metre tall Superwheel, which the CNE says is the first and largest observation ride of its kind to grace Toronto’s skyline.

    There’s also the Vegas-style Sparkling Symphony fountains show, which boasts geysers of water shooting dozens of metres up in the air, synchronized with music and illuminated by lasers at night.

    Then there’s the nightly drone show (barring high winds), a skating and acrobat show that features Olympian Elvis Stojko, food trucks and craft beer, and a bandshell performance lineup that includes Amanda Marshall, Dionne Warwick, Kardinal Offishall and a drag show starring Tynomi Banks from Canada’s Drag Race.
