Did you use a filter on these pics? Or were they taken during the "golden hour" before sunset? Either way, it gives the screenshots a really nice old-timey feel. Deep dish may be a casserole, but a delicious (and decadent) one! Nice update.

Love the Chicago Pie Company. Did you make the custom chairs or are they from the workshop?

Chairs were off the workshop I think, booths are just art shapes and the tables are various things.

There is a Re-Shade setting which helps it just a bit but the rest of it is just golden hour.

This would have been the original entrance of the park, it is also supposed to have been a former pavilion from the time when the park operated as a fairgrounds.

It houses rest rooms and some food stands these days

This building served as ticket boothes for many years, it was moved out front of the entrance building when the park changed over to one entrance price for unlimited rides. When the park entrance was moved to about where the current entrance is this was moved back almost to where it would have been back when the park was small and each ride required tickets and it was repurposed for more food vending.

Some of the historic structures that still exist today still serve purposes very similar to when they were build such as the carousel house.

Another pavilion now houses a Himalaya ride

The cafe has been in this same spot for many years.

It has been added on to a couple of times.

The original entrance to what was a show pavilion for livestock shows has served several purpose, for a time there was a coaster here that used this as part of the station after a fire destroyed most of the original show pavilion. The coaster was called Dragon's Lair and was an Arrow looping coaster. after it was decommissioned the pavilion was seating arena was restored to almost the same footprint as the original, a more modern entrance was added along with other upgrades to allow for more flexible uses. We now host a circus most of the year.

This is the new entrance.

Another historic building that still stands houses a sit down restaurant.

The Whip is yet another historic remnant of the old park.

Some time ago I mentioned there was a Engine Company Number 2 in the park. Here it is... it is a rather substantial upgrade to the station this coaster had when it was originally built and we will get to this one, maybe in the next update. It is part of that process of this park trying to transition from pure amusement park to more of a theme park.

Love everything! The entrance building is perfection, LOVE the carousel and Himalaya pavilions. The older part of the Field House reminds me of the Armory they had back in my hometown. The Whip is gorgeous, as is it's logo (is that a TMTK item?). Beautiful screens - but I'd expect nothing less! LOL!

Very nice. I especially like the night lighting.
