Not large, but fun for a child's first coaster ride. They just don't make them like this anymore! I also remember the wonderful miniature train ride that went through the entire park and actually left the park grounds to surround the parking lot. I also remember that classic revolving neon sign with two children having fun at Kiddieland. It's very sad to hear that this park has closed, especially due to a family rift. Very sad to lose such a classic, fun, affordable amusement park. Thanks for sharing, smctopia!
