    Jacob, I want you to know how much I appreciate your videos! I've lived in a wheelchair my whole life: Your videos can take me to so many places that I can never expect to visit, or could even if I was there. Thank you very much for your fun and entertaining comments and videos.

The sea area was added in the early 2000s and expanded a couple times the Farm area after that. They have a wood Roller coaster Which was their last bid addition.

    I have a short memory of tiny houses and story book figures, and it troubled me because I couldn't place it and I wondered if it was just a memory of a dream. Well, thanks to the internet I was about to research info about the amusement parks I'd visited when I was a kid, and I found it. The amusement park has been long gone, but various folks have kindly documented some info about the park and some have posted old pictures. I was pleased to learn its a memory from what was Storyland Park in Elk Grove (near Chicago).

    My family did the ride to Cinderella's castle in the pumpkin just a handful of times. It was cute, but it was a very long wait, which is why we didn't make a regular habit of doing that. We did visit Cinderella's castle, but most of the time, we'd just walk there.

    When Disney Land began, my family was working in The Enchanted Forest, one Aunt in the castle, and the other in The Gingerbread House. It was a beautiful park,and on weekends I played there for hours. The man who owned it, had to let it go, he could no longer keep up with the maintenance. I in my older years fondly remember. It's wonderful to see some of these fairly tale parks are still in good condition.

    Great place to go for little kids! I'm a little kid at heart, so I love these places. I love the little dinosaur ride and the Buccaneer Bay ride. Kind of like the Jungle Safari at Disney World, except pirate-themed. I also liked the pumpkin ride. You can ride to the castle like a proper princess. I love these little off-the-beaten places that nobody knows about. Jacob, your videos inspire me to go places. I want to go places like you do. I want to go to unique museums like you do.

    Good golly, this video's really taken me back.
    Here's a little story with no payoff:
    A long, long while back, right next door to Storyland was this little stand-alone attraction called Heritage: New Hampshire. When I was little- like. Four or five, we went to Storyland for the day. I didn't remember a lot of it since I was little, but seeing this video really brought back a lot- like that sea serpent/dragon on the Bamboo Chutes! I was sure I remembered something like that.
    But, back to Heritage. About halfway through our Storyland trip, we decided to go to Heritage next door. I have the most vivid memories of that place nowadays. At the time, though, I remembered it vaguely until about five or six years later, I was in fifth grade, and we went on a field trip- as fifth graders do. Since I was so little the first time, my memories of it were pretty fuzzy, since I was way more taken with Storyland. But when I walked in with my tour group for school, I was hit with so much familiar stuff, and the whole walkthrough, I was planning to beg my folks to let us come back to Heritage again another time.
    This place was a walkthrough of New Hampshire history beginning in a mock English village and spanning from colonial times to the modern day. It was So. Cool.
    But, sadly, that field trip was the last I'd ever get to see of it. Turns out, they put on one final round of tours the day or two after they closed for my 5th grade class. I don't know what exactly happened to the exhibits, but I believe the building itself was turned into Storyland storage space. I've never been able to find a full video walkthrough of the place, if there was ever one made, and it really sucks to know that's one part of my life I can never go back to in any way. That said; in a weird way, I guess, seeing that Storyland is still up and running and people still love it makes it a little easier to think about Heritage being gone. It's nice to see this place almost 20 years later, even if it is through a screen.
    Thanks for the upload, sir. It really, really brought back a lot of good, old-fashioned, bittersweet memories for me.
