jcgoble3 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Gotcha. I should get to Kennywood one of these days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieninja Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Kennywood is well worth the drive. I would make the trip annually from here on out, if I could. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 After the buy one, get one sale they had last fall, this has been a VERY busy year for Kennywood. Hopefully, the in park per caps made it worth it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 If you visit Kennywood, make sure to avoid the special deal days. (Passholder bring-a-friend-cheap, buy-one-get-one admission tickets, etc) It wasn't crowded at all when I went. I didn't ride the Flying Coaster or most of the other flat rides. I need to return at some point. Perhaps venturing further east to Knoebels as well. Those from Cincinnati might combine Kennywood with a trip to Cedar Point to save a considerable number of miles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you do Cedar Point first so that it doesn't completely disappoint you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you do Cedar Point first so that it doesn't completely disappoint you. If that's the standard, figure out a way to detour through Jackson, New Jersey on the way home. Terp...trying to be good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Something like putting Louisville, Chicago, Des Moines and Mason in a trip from DC to Moline, Illinois and back? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagoda Gift Shop Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 The rehab a ride can get during the off-season can vary greatly. During an off-season tour of Cedar Point a few years ago, the Wave Swinger ride was completely missing similar to SR&R. Bryan Edwards explained that some rides are completely dismantled some years and other years are left mostly in place. I like SR&R and hope that it makes a come back. I believe this ride came from Coney Island? If so that is more incentive to keep it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that it did. It isn't on my 1972 Park Map, so if it did come from Coney, it was left in storage for a while and put up later.

Others that should have been got otherwise taken care of. Life is good. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagoda Gift Shop Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I did some more searching and found the ride was added in 1975. So yeah, it did not come from Coney Island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GODZILLA2877 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The sign is now gone also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The sign is now gone also. The "temporarily closed" sign or the sign with the ride's name? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Is the "temporarily closed" sign removed too, or just the Shake, Rattle & Roll sign? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The LED sign out front still listed it as closed today. I didn't look when I went by the ride location though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themuska11 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Maybe i didn't look hard enough, but i think Shake Rattle and Roll has been removed from the parks website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Maybe i didn't look hard enough, but i think Shake Rattle and Roll has been removed from the parks website. That would depend on what the meaning of the word "removed" is. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/rides/Family-Rides/Shake-Rattle-Roll It is still there, just not linked to from anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuska11 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I see, when you just look at the basic Family Rides section its not listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 ^But keep in mind, links being removed is certainly not a good omen, at least not for the foreseeable future. If it is to return, it will almost certainly be out quite a while. Just because the website is sitting on the server means nothing. Thunder Alley's page remained on the server long after the attraction was demolished. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
