Great footage, I love that train. Hope they can stay open, but if not I will be at the auction if there is one. I still shed a tear when I drive by the old Adventure Land and Santas Village sites. Phil

They are closing forever before the end of the summer. :(

They found good homes for the steam trains at the Hesston Steam Museum. hesston-dot-org Someone's trying to keep track of the trains at kiddielandtrain-dot-com

I went to a Kiddieland when I was a kid in the 70's at my Dad's company picnic. I'm not sure if this was the one. We lived in NW Indiana, and he worked in Lansing, illinois.

killjoys. another part of my and many others' chicago childhoods gone forever and replaced by a sterile, big-box store so spoiled, soulless housewives can shop. every birthday, my dad would take me here, maywood weekend flea market, and then amling's for a pumpkin, and then russell's to eat. i still have the little beanbag duck he bought me at the gift shop here.

BUT THEY CAN SAVE THE BANKS, THOUGH.

we should put money together and save it, then find a use for the land during winter, so we would be able to keep it running all the time

Yah I hope someone buys it and has me run it for them, that would be neat!
