Steven, In one of the photos there's a small portion of the Fiddler's Fling sign in Gurnee. Did Fiddler's in Gurnee at one point have a completely different sign than the one it has today and do you have a better shot of that sign? It looks like it's on it's own posts instead of being bolted to the ...

Buffet le Grand in Gurnee has been repainted and renamed again, this time to a Johnny Rockets.

The photos were taken about three years ago, so it could...

In-Laws is still operating I think. Haven't heard of the other two.

If anyone has a park map from past seasons scanned, please send me it. I'm working on a database of SFGAm Park Maps for the SFGAmWiki and all I have scanned is the 1997 map.
