Old Chicago Shopping Center & Amusement Park, Bolingbrook Illinois

Let's take a look at one of Old Chicago's Training Manuals.

This is not a complete manual but most of it is here and is an interesting look at how the Fairgrounds wanted employees to behave and present the park.

What's nice is this isn't your old stale as heck manual from Human Resources. They start it out by letting employees know that their job is to make guests smile and they are "the magic in Old Chicago".

With quite literally hundreds of people working together to make Old Chicago happen having a face to the names of the management team makes it easier for employees to know who they are interacting with.

If you didn't know, Angus Wynne was the founder of the Six Flags Chain. He was brought in to fix Old Chicago after Robert Brindle was forced out.

With a shopping center and amusement park mixed together you are going to have a lot of departments. Just looking at the management team you have a food and beverage, park operations, maintenance and construction, marketing, games, mall manager and more departments all making Old Chicago work.
