AgentSoB Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 In training for my job in Pittsburgh. I made a pitstop at Kennywood. I only have a few hours. What are the must ride rides here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestar92 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The must-rides at Kennywood? Every single ride whose name isn't "Garfield's Nightmare". And I'm serious about that. If it were still the Old Mill, my recommendation would be completely different... But if pressed for time, at least hit all the coasters. Skip Sky Rocket if you must (though you'd be missing my personal favorite launched coaster, and yes, I've ridden Maverick). Kangaroo is a must due to its historical significance and rarity. Same with Noah's Ark. Even the Turtle is a rarity (though there is another ride like it within the same state). I could keep going and going like an Energizer battery when you get me talking about Kennywood. If AT ALL possible, do yourself a favor and try to find a way to spend a whole day there. It's my favorite theme park in the world, and considering that my home park has The Beast, Banshee, and Vortex, it is no small thing that I'm ranking Kennywood higher. -Homestar92, surprised by Terpy's lack of recommendation of the Turtle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Terpy has ridden the other one, back when it zoomed. Turtle often has very long, slow lines. If one has never ridden one, for historical reasons alone, it is not to be missed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSoB Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Phantoms Revenge is amazing!!! Sad that the Whip was closed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrick Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I want to go back to Kennywood now. I went last summer sort of on a whim, and I feel like I missed quite a few of their signature attractions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSoB Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Yeah Phantoms Revenge is definitely at the top of my list. It fits in just before Banshee and just after Apollo's Chariot. The Wood Coasters were all amazing and Exterminator was very unique. The only other thing I managed to go through was Noah's Ark. It was definitely interesting. I didn't make it to Turtle or The Kangaroo before closing. I'll definitely be trying to return soon. It was great! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
