Living in the Chicagoland Area I grew up with Kiddieland. My parents did too. I can't believe it is closing. I didn't go for those last days, I wish I did though. I have been around 7-8 times.
R.I.P. Kiddieland.

Are the shutting it down or tearing it down? Cause there used to be an abandoned Theme park down here called Splendid China. It got shut down but we used to sneak over the wall and have the coolest time exploring. It was pretty much a chinese town with a forest, 2 story buildings and statues up the wazoo. It just recently got torn down though due to vandalism.

Just because the dumbass owners didn't like them lighting fireworks in the park. What BS. I liked that place way better than Six Flags.

Trust me.. It was the best time when I went. We had about an hour of exploring under our belt then a guard drove up and chased us around the park. If you ever seen the PS3 game Uncharted.. it was EXACTLY like that. We jumped from the second story, running through abandoned restaurants and offices. Best moment of my life. So much adrenaline got pumped through me, I'm still recovering. THREE MONTHS LATER.

So intense. A shame... a shame they tore it down. I'll upload some of the videos from my adventures there.
