Here's an amusement park/kiddie park I don't think I've seen mentioned on HAIF:

Kiddie King Center

5103 Holmes Rd.

Phone: OL 4-5512

Little late to use the free ticket I guess... :P

I wonder if this was the amusement park I remember going to that was near the Prudential Building? While on the rides or walking around eating candy apples and cotton candy, we could see "the rock".

Nope, probably now. This one was by today's South Loop.

If you were to take a ride in the middle of the night, getting on IH 610, say, where it intersects with Gulf Freeway, how long do you think that it would take you to make a full circle, exiting at Gulfgate Mall?

610 Loop is 37 miles around. Probably about 40 minutes.

I just finish driving around the loop. It took 38:28.91 to go around the loop at 60mph at around 1am with no traffic :blush: I know sad...I couldn't sleep
