This ride was is the Southwest territory and was there last year but did not run most of the year. Now this year it's gone and was not replaced with anything. Must be getting ready to put something new in, now that a season parking pass went up to $60 a $30 increase WOW!!!

The ride was called TrailBlazer, and most likely it will not be replaced by a different ride.

Price increases doesnt have much to do with the park needing money because they're in debt; it is becomes more expensive to run and maintain the park every year plus being the only theme park in the Chicago area and still drawing huge crowds theres really no reason not to increase prices.

Yea, I remember seeing this one last year. It's just a vacant area now.
I need a great day this year, or 2, or 30!
