I grew up going to that park all throughout my childhood/early teen years. I moved away from home in 2018 from the Chicago area to Orange County, California. Seeing the park brought back a lot of awesome memories. Great video as always.

That's the first thing I noticed. This is the first video of his that I have seen and I'll be checking out some more. I was thinking, "this guy is from further north than Gurnee," even though you can hear it in a Chicagoan's voice as well, his was well pronounced. I love it! I usually look for it in the word BAG. That's my favorite. Haha, just playin' with ya. I want to check out your Wisconsin Dells video next. Used to go there a lot as a kid, and it was always Noah's Ark. Went in 2019 and Kalahari was sweet. It was the off-season, so indoor was a must with snow on the ground, still. I'd still love to go back to Noah's Ark and see what it looks like now. It's probably been 25 years since I was there, if it still exists? :) Thanks, Kyle!

But Goliath and Raging Bull are legit.

I'm hoping we can go with a group to take turns watching all our Littles and being able to ride. Although I still have a lot of anxiety with coasters after becoming a mom, always worried and always praying now. Love mom guilt and anxiety lol.
