A simple trip to the show office probably would have answered that better than anyone could here.

Because they weren't.[:o)]
^The closest I see from looking at a map are:

Hoffman Estates (Cobra, Spider, Tilt-A-Whirl, Century Wheel, Dark Ride, Typhoon like Orbiter, Scooters, ARM Touchdown) - A few rides were down on Thursday. - Modern Midways

Bartlett (Spin Out, Himilaya, Ring of Fire, Tornado, Gravitron, and Scooters)- Astro Amusements

Mount Prospect (It's basically Fantasy - Screamer, Super Shot, Scooters, Matterhorn (Himilaya), Kite Flyer, Century Wheel, Pharoah's Fury)

The 1001 Nachts, and Tilt-A-Whirl from Fantasy are at Elmwood Park plus more classic rides.

I don't really know about truck parking. Sorry.
I'll be in Hanover Park tomorrow. Got anyplace close to there with truck parking? [8D]

Its mostly Wilson in Crystal Lake... I think Skinner has their wheel wheel there and one other ride.

Astro (NAME) unit 1 is in Dixon, IL as well.

Drove by Modern Midways in Hoffman last night on my way home and the show looked good. I like the multi color lights on the century wheel rim!!!
