Old Chicago, while a neat idea (paving the way for camp snoopy @ MoA), it couldn't hold a candle to what my parents tell me of Riverview. I spent many a summer day listening to my mom dad and aunt tell of their trips to Riverview, especially hearing my mom talk about what were apparently her two favorite rides, the Bobs (of course) and the Flying Turns (a *real* bobsled). They thought it was a wonderful park (even amid all the racisim concerns, which they never mentioned)
Also, Riverview: Gone but not Forgotten was also a picture book. What I liked the most was how they claimed that the 'FireBall' roller coaster exceeded 100mph (yeah right!). Even though most of the coasters would be more akin to Cornball Express than Son of Beast, I would still liked to have ridden them.
