Rollo Coaster - Whee!

Rollo Coaster

5.0(1 review)
78.5 km

The track length is 900 feet. The biggest drop is a whopping 27 feet! It's top speed? Maybe…read more30-35mph. Lame? No way! 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

It's nice if u can go with friends. You will definitely have a wonderful time. The Rollercoaster…read moreare crazy but fun. Even though lines can be an issue it is still a wonderful park with so much to do. Would recommend buying a gold or platinum pass.

Kennywood is hands down my all-time favorite amusement park! I love coming here and riding all the…read moreclassic attractions that have made this park such a special place for generations. 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!
