Especially considering that most county fairs seem to be an exercise in separating you from your wallet. Not only that, but there are incredibly reasonable deals on food and water. Bottles of water are only a dollar at most vendors. I saw a $1 grilled cheese sandwich. You can buy a walking onion for $3. A walking onion? I have no idea. It was too hot for me to consider eating something that was billed to taste like french onion soup. But now, I regret the decision. I did try one of the $6 pit beef sandwiches after seeing the smoker in the back. Man, that was serious and resulted in a fantastic smoke ring. And the $4 milkshakes were pretty fantastic, especially the strawberry. And no fair experience is complete without funnel cake. The one from the permanent structure was fantastic. Also we took in a clogging show and watched a whole lot of goats get judged. The rides were a lot of fun for the kids. I found the ferris wheel to be terrifying, but enjoyed the bumper cars. I'm really hoping that we make it back here next year during fair week, because this place is fantastic.

If you're planning to visit more than once during the season, I highly recommend getting the Platinum Season Pass. Not only is it a great value for Kennywood, but it also includes admission to Sandcastle Waterpark, making it an even better deal for families and anyone who loves amusement and water parks. No trip to Kennywood is complete without stopping at Potato Patch for their famous fries--they're absolutely delicious! I also like grabbing the pulled pork tacos from Rogue BBQ, and of course, I always save room for dessert. My favorite treat is a vanilla ice cream cone from the Golden Nugget, dipped in chocolate and topped with peanuts and a cherry. So good! What I love most about Kennywood is its classic charm. I've visited newer amusement parks, but in my opinion, none of them have rides quite as memorable or enjoyable as the ones at Kennywood. The employees are always friendly, welcoming, and seem to genuinely enjoy working there, which makes the experience even better. I highly recommend Kennywood to anyone visiting the Pittsburgh area or looking for a fun day with family and friends. It's a true Pittsburgh treasure and a place I look forward to visiting again and again!

    Coming here was something special for me as Leap The Dips would be my 400th coaster credit and I…read morewanted it to be a special one so why not make it the worlds oldest wooden roller coaster! This park was chill as it reminded me of like a city park that has rides, mini golf, and go karts as well as two wooden coasters! My visit happened to be on opening day of the 2022 season and I must say it was a good time as the park was kinda dead making for me to get multiple rides on Leap The Dips which was totally what's good! This park is really chill as it's like wide open with lots of picnic tables and places to hangout which I thought was kinda cool. While this might not be the biggest park around it still serves it's purpose for it's community making for an amazing time no matter how old or young you are. Their associates here were all very nice and friendly as I talked to alot of them and it was definitely enjoyable seeing how they care about the park. Overall this was a good time and an awesome time riding this old school woodie I'm not sure when I'll get back here again but I can definitely say that it was worth the trip to ride this legendary wooden roller coaster!

    My husband and I hadn't been here in a few years, and since we (and my cousin and her husband) were…read moregoing to a Curve game, we decided to check this place out. Wow! What a downgrade! Lakemont Park used to have a seemingly random assemblage of portable rides which were still fun to ride. The whole atmosphere was that of a carnival-meets-dive-bar (the good kind of dive bar). But now the rides are no more, the coasters are still standing but not operating, and all that remains basically are batting cages and mini golf. Well as long as we were there, we figured we'd try the batting cages (I hit quite a few of line drives). But in short, there's no there anymore. And it was strange to see the two coasters standing there silent. Leap-the-Dips is the oldest coaster in North America and the only side-friction coaster. It's my second-favorite after Kennywood's Phantoms Revenge and half the fun of riding it was wondering whether this old, over-grown pile of Tinkertoys would collapse as you were riding it. By the way, it is a National Historic Landmark and the operator of Lakemont must keep it standing and in operable condition. But the money's not there. As for the Skyliner it's a fun vintage wooden coaster. It gave you a great view of the adjacent ballpark, and vice versa. The train had an "Altoona Curve" sign on its side, which was plainly visible from the ballpark.

Idlewild's Rollo Coaster may seem an anachronism in today's kinetic, adrenelane-charged, high tech world of gigacoasters and monster "woodies" like Cedar Point's Mean Streak and Great America's American Eagle, each park every year vying for the biggest, fastest, and baddest. Believe me, I'm the Roller Coaster Queen and I love coasters like that! No, the Rollo Coaster takes us back to a different time when the object was simply to have fun. This coaster may indeed seem tame by today's standards. But it's an ACE Classic. ACE is the American Coaster Enthusiasts, of which I'm a member www.aceonline.org But keep this in mind. Although the drops may not be that high, this ain't no kiddie coaster. The ride is surprisingly rough! It's a classic old woodie with all the shakes, rattles, rolls, dips, turns, etc. You're still vibrating a little when you exit the ride! The Rollo Coaster is a terrain coaster, meaning that it takes advantage of the ravine it's built in. Kennywood's three woodies are also examples of terrain coasters. It was built in 1938 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, which still makes roller coaster cars. As I understand it, when it was built the designers from PTC came out to the park and fit the coaster to the terrain. One of the other neat things about it is that it's built in a wooded area. Legend has it that some of the trees in the park were used to build the ride. So no, the Rollo Coaster can't compete with the likes of the Maverick, the Phantom's Revenge, The American Eagle, or the Magnum XL. It doesn't need too. It only wants you to get on board and have fun and laugh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIa8l8C0GzM
