RAILS OF FUN HOLIDAY PARK 2024
Hello everyone!
Can you believe it? Opening night is 2 weeks from tonight! I always try to add or improve my display every year and this year is no different:
• All 5 cars for the Little Chiefs ride have new lights and are all on the track and operational for the first time in the 20 years that I have owned the ride.
• Added 2 more curves and lengthened the track for the Little Chiefs going through Candy Cane Lane.
• All 3 cars for the Steam Train have new lights and it’s own transformer finally operating at 100% power. No problem pulling a full load this year!
• New track supports to level the Steam Train track. It won’t have to climb a hill this year either!
• Updated the playground that the Steam Train goes around.
• Updated the Uhleview Drive-In by adding blacklights and the 15 Charlie Brown characters that I handmade back in the Spring and painted with fluorescent paint.
• Added garden fence borders around the front perimeter, the playground and the boarding area for the Little Chiefs ride.
• Improved boarding areas for both rides with separate entrances, exits and gates for safety and crowd control.
Here are some photos from last week and a video clip I made yesterday for Amy Marxkors at KMOX 1120:

Description of Rails Of Fun Holiday Park
The only interactive Christmas lights display for children where they ride through on a 70 year old amusement park kiddie train ride. They start in Xmas Land then go through a time tunnel back to the year 1965, where they end up in the middle of a drive-in theater showing the 1965 classic: A Charlie Brown Christmas! Then, they find out that back in the day, many drive-in theaters had miniature train rides for kids going around their playgrounds. Now, they find out that the Uhleview Outdoor Theater also has one! My little 35 night amusement park now has TWO amusement train rides!
FREE train rides for the kids, weather permitting.
Santa Clause visits on Saturday nights in December!
Every penny collected goes directly to the St. Louis Shriners Hospital for Children. Last year, $8,446.96 was collected from the jar at the end of my driveway!
Tune In: 90.1FM for the house lights dancing to (12) Trans-Siberian Orchestra songs with one minute intermissions.
Hours: 5-9 PM. November 29th until December 31st
