On the way to work...

Hi everyone...to start, just thought i'd mention I love the website...brings back a lot of memories.

I actually work fairly close to PGA, and thought I'd rummage along the parking lot to see what was around...here's what I found. I hope this isn't too OT...I looked for an off topic forum, and couldn't find one.

Sorry about the resolution. One of the pics looks like car parts from the Barney Oldfield Speedway...the disassembled ride I found in the employee parking lot...not sure what ride it is...might not even be that old...

Looks like a Troika... Triple Play.

Does anyone know why Triple Play was removed?

Old age probably. The Triple Play is still running in Gurnee and was in rehab for 2003. I still love it.

Hey FunnelCake, if I didn't already mention it, great pics! Do you happen to have any more pics? Thanks!

I can't seem to view the pics, it's just a big red X in the boxes. The Triple Play in Gurnee actually was taken apart in 2006 or 2007 (can't really remember) but it was put back together in 2007 and is still operating. It's a really fun ride!

It was 2006.

I thought it was 2006 because in 2007 I remember it running again but I didn't get to ride it.

Well I have not rode it since 2004. So I really want to ride it this year really bad.

That is going to be my first ride then the orbit.

What you don't like the orbit. That was my first upside down ride ever.
