Kiddieland's Steam Train delighted kids of all ages for 50 years at Chicagoland's last remaining amusement park.
Did I miss something? What is Great America? I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
Great America is a... umm...
THEME park! That's it, it's not an amusement park! bwaha, must have meant last operating steam train in the chiagoland area?
Holy Bejesus!, just found this and I know what I'm doing afterwards

and SFGAm isn't exactly in Chicago, not that Kiddieland was, but it was a few blocks from Chicago, SFGAm is 40 miles.

It says Chicagoland.
Gurnee is a part of Chicagoland. I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

Just pointed it out for fun. Nothing serious obviously.
Just checked the location for this place. You seriously going to drive that far for a train ride? Well, get some pics buddy. I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
Quote of the Month!! LMAO! 
It's great to see more and more Kiddieland rides up and running.
I liked the other one better - deisel. Does anyone know where that went? Just curious even though I wouldn't make out of my way to go there.
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
This is indeed great news. Glad to see that it is back in operation.
Instead of doing a PTR for this, I figured it would just be easier to update this topic.
Below is a link to my facebook page, that has pictures from my trip to the Hesston Steam Museum from today. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2 ... 9463ace5ce Got 2 rides on the Kiddieland Limited. Not sure if they will only run these on special events, or more often. Either way, its a fun place to visit to ride a piece of Chicago History. --Brian
