disco2000 Posted January 12, 2025 Posted January 12, 2025 I guess the new PR trend is don't tell anyone a ride is leaving until the season is done.... https://www.wtae.com/article/kennywood-par-thomas-town-end/63400506?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2eXaQ-2A906Ymm38PXDLh_JC_fEOF1UrIfhmXh-ySuIIxEM7Vvhf8Kw9Y_aem_w8ZEEkGJEGP9fHliY_eAaw Quote
KIghostguy Posted January 12, 2025 Posted January 12, 2025 It says the new area will feature five rides, and currently, Thomas Town has five rides. I imagine that it will be a new theme for the area, versus rides being removed. Quote
Orion-XL200 Posted January 13, 2025 Posted January 13, 2025 Honestly, while it was a good addition, seemed odd that it was only 5 rides and the rest of the kiddie rides weren't included. Here are some highlights from the Thomas addition: Thomas Town Ride Goes Off The Tracks At Kennywood Kennywood's Thomas train ride closed after 2nd derailment Exclusive: Get a first look at Kennywood’s Thomas Town I can't find it, but I vividly remember the Thomas Shell caused the engine to overheat and the train was down for a bit. Trying to find that article. Quote

rhyano Posted January 14, 2025 Posted January 14, 2025 This was always a strange fit for Kennywood, and it's a shame that this will end up being something like a Whistlestop Park. Quote
