 When did they get rid of Machinery Hill? That was some time ago. I don't know the exact year. The decision was made to build on that end of the fairgrounds and then just decide instead of putting all the machinery in one spot, having all sponsored spots, and then they ended up moving the kids' carnival. They have the large, of course, rides and amusement park in Midway, and then they decided to make the kids' mini Midway out in that area.
