The Skyfighter cars really do have a "Buck Rogers" look
to them.
Allison is a little thrill ride addict so I took her on Kiddieland's Dip
N' Drop. Yeah I look a little silly but who cares, it's a fun ride
that you should try the next time you get near one.
Like I said earlier that Kiddieland has a bunch of nice old Hampton Rides.
With the old space capsule look of this one this ride has to come from the
early 1960's.
Kiddieland has a nice relaxed atmosphere and a fantastic place to take your
kids. Unfortunately Kiddieland's days are probably numbered as the
land that it sits on is owned by a different set of family members than
the family that runs the park and it is reported that the final season for
this park may be 2010. So when you get the chance go and visit this
park before, the rides are stopped, the laughter is no more and Kiddieland
becomes nothing but a memory.
