    Every year, the best of the best make the trip from far and wide in a pilgrimage of sorts to a…read morepristine warehouse set against derelict buildings. Coming around the bend, you couldn't imagine that anything could exist in this lot, but there it is... The world headquarters of the Professional - Amateur Pinball Association. PAPA, for short. As soon as you walk through the doors, the atmosphere is ripe with excitement, frustration, joy, superstition, determination, and perseverance. The clanging of electro-mechanical pinball machines harmonizes with the music and sounds of their more modern counterparts. You're immediately greeted with a desk, and a handful of faithful volunteers, who devote their valuable time to make the World Pinball Championship a resounding success year after year. A quick tour of the facility reminds you of where you are. This isn't some second rate arcade, nor is it a first rate arcade... You aren't in someone's basement, nor are you in somebody's private arcade. This is the real deal, and the facility reminds you of that everywhere you go. As you make your way left, there are rows of pinball machines. A quick step down and you are on the delightfully tacky carpet, staring at the machines used for the B and A division of the championship. (Advanced and World Class divisions, respectively) As you stroll further to your left, there is an endless supply of pinball machines, ranging from the very rare "Cactus Canyon," to the all too common "The Addam's Family," to the so obscure I wish it didn't exist at all "Shaq Attaq." You've finally reached a wall, but it isn't the end- Not by a long shot. You've passed four back to back rows of machines, which is more than most have seen in their lifetime... But you haven't even made it a quarter of the way. Crossing a sparse brick partition is the "back room," which takes up more than a third of the facility. In this space are another 200 pinball machines, including the wall of time, showing pinball's progression from the inception of the flipper to the DMD days of today. After shuffling past the 10+ rows of pinball machines, you finally emerge at the other end. To your right is the qualifying bank for the C division, Juniors, Seniors, and Classics. Directly ahead is a wall lined with pinball, and the multimedia center, with computers for use and tables to use your own. And now you've come full circle, back to where magic is made year after year. The A division bank is where the small family of world class players congregate and reunite for a grueling week of pinball. While everyone may be competing against each other, there are no enemies in the pinball world. The place is perfect for anyone who has ever played pinball, and even more perfect for those who never have. Where else do you have such a beautiful selection of the best kept machines at your disposal? It is the ultimate training ground, and the ultimate proving ground, open only twice a year. The owner, Kevin, is a very compassionate person... keeping the pinball spirit alive with the World Pinball Championship, and also does a lot for charity, which the other event is exclusively held for in February. With the help of the amazing Dave, a God-send to the competitive pinball world, they make sure that this place will live on forever in the pristine condition it's always in, come hell or high water... Literally. Whether or not you live in in Pennsylvania, and whether or not you are a serious pinball player, you owe it to yourself to come to the biggest event in the pinball world- If not to compete or watch, to relive the glory days of pinball, and the days that everyone remembers. I've yet to meet a single person who hasn't played pinball, and most people have fond memories of it. Are you one of those? Then PAPA is for you. Keep on flippin'!

    Kennywood Park - Jack Rabbit

    A true pillar of Pittsburgh, Kennywood Park holds a special place in the hearts of Yinzers…read moreeverywhere. Most have grown up coming here, some have worked here, even fell in love here, but all have fond memories of the amusement park of Pittsburgh's past and present. Kennywood is located on the border of Duquesne and West Mifflin, sitting above the Monogahela River. If you are traveling from out of town, there are highway signs and also wooden, yellow Kennywood Arrows that direct you in the direction of the park from different areas of the city. Parking (both paid and free options) is located across the street, but there is a underground tunnel just beyond the entrance gates that takes you "across the road" and into the park. I have been to Kennywood more times than I can count, but my most recent visit was on a Saturday evening this past July. We arrived before 5:00 PM, and had no issue finding a parking spot in the free upper lot. There was parking available in the lower lot as well, but that section is paid. The upper lot has an escalator to bring guests down the hill, and from there it is maybe a 2-minute walk to the gates. At the time we entered, there was no line at the gates. I find that there rarely is any line, but even if there is it usually is only a couple minute wait. Security and ticketing has never been a problem here, and the process is always smooth and quick. The park was lively, but not so crowded that we were unable to ride. Lines were minimal for the most part, and even with a late arrival, we rode nearly 10 attractions before the park closed at 10. This included Phantom's Revenge, The Racer, Jackrabbit, Thunderbolt, and more. This included some time wasted waiting 40+ minutes for the Exterminator, only for it to break down while we waited! Right after we arrived, we decided to grab food. Even though it was prime dinner time, we had no trouble finding a table nearby. First, I purchased a souvenir cup at the Lucky stand. It was $34.99 pre-tax, but included free refills the entire season. If you bought several cups, the price per cup went down. However, I think this was an awesome deal, especially if you plan on visiting several times throughout the summer. Plus, there are several self-service fountain drink dispensers around the park that limit wait times for refills. Next was the Potato Patch. The line was short, and service was friendly and quick. I chose the classic combo of Bacon Cheese Fries. Fries here will run between $10 to $13, but are a must for any day at Kennywood. They are a good size to share with a few people, or to serve as a meal for yourself! Near the end of the night, there was a special Drone Show happening near the Jack Rabbit/Lagoon area. The show only ran for a few weekends in July. It was a neat show that went through the history of the park. Our whole group enjoyed it! My critiques of the visit are as follows: First, I wish there was still a Night Rider ticket. When I was young, they sold a cheaper admission price for those entering the park after 5 PM or so, since you miss a significant part of the day. I truly believe this should be brought back. Second, the hours of the park keep getting shorter. When I was a child, the park would be open until midnight during peak summer days, and even sometimes they would extend the hours on the spot if enough people were in the park. Now, you are lucky to see a 10 PM close. There is so much magic in the park at night, and closing when it is still light out should be illegal!!! Third, there were lots of attractions and stands not open. We visited on a prime Saturday night in July. The weather was perfect, and there were many games/food stands/rides not open or in operation. I know staffing is an issue everywhere nowadays, but it is disappointing to pay for admission and finding that prime rides, such as The Steel Curtain or Exterminator, are closed. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Kennywood this past year! It is fun to keep coming back and reliving memories that I have from my childhood, but also seeing how the park continues to evolve and appeal to the present day consumer. I just hope they realize the desire for historic preservation by locals, and never veer too far away from that.

    We have been season pass holders for several years now. If you are going to go to the park twice in…read morea year, it is worth it to purchase a pass. Along with the pass you have VIP parking and a cup that you can use on fountain drinks. There are a good variety of rides for all ages. Kiddie land is focused in one area of the park. Our favorite area of the park is Lost Kennywood. Food is pricey throughout the park but that is really expected anymore. One thing to note is Kennywood is cashless. We go to the park during all seasons throughout the year. You are able to bring in food, drinks and bags during the summer and winter. During fall fest they are very strict. You cannot bring anything in and your bag is limited to a small fanny pack. We found the best days to go in the summer is when it just rained. Definitely smaller crowds. Im sure we will be back as pass holders next year.
