While searching out for amusement parks (aside from those Disney ones) during summer, I stumbled upon Edaville. It's a train themed amusement park. The best part was... Thomas land was coming (at that time) to Edaville in August 2015. I immediately knew that we had to take Shane there for his birthday. I guess I was more excited than he was. At that time, I had just gotten him a Thomas the Train set, and he had been pretty excited.
However we decided to do this trip over the Columbus day weekend instead of Thanksgiving for a few reasons - More daylight, Grandma popo was still in America, Longer opening hours and not so cold!!
Edaville!!
What I really like about this place was that Shane could go almost on all the rides. Previously at other parks, all he could do was watch the rides go by. Also, even though it was a long weekend, the queues to the rides were not terribly long. Maximum wait I would say was less than 5 minutes.
And so he went on his first flying elephant ride

It was after our visit to Thomasland that Shane started recognising the other engines like Toby, Percy, James, Henry, and also the other characters in the story like Bertie & Harold.

Trip to Thomas land isn't complete without a photo with Thomas
The biggest enjoyment we had was the 20 mins ride on Thomas. It was a ride around the perimeters (i think) of Edaville park. We hopped on it twice and the little one loved it so much!!
Overall, a very very nice day at Edaville. I would definitely return more often (if not for the 6 hour drive!!!).
