everytime the park gets a ride it looses a ride. I think it needs more rides to help with long lines etc.. Also I think they need to return the general admission for people who cant ride. I have gone to kennywood every year for the plum picnic and for the first time this year due to back surgery I... More

I arrived early at 1030 am on 5/12/12 to get the Season Pass and did my part by going to the other side of the park, getting the Season Pass, and then came to the park again on 5/19/12 and brought a buddy. After waiting 15 minutes to get his ticket and then another 15 minutes to get to the... More

I have been going to this place for almost 25 years and it is a Pittsburgh tradition. Sure, the prices are high for tickets (get them through Giant Eagle or other local supermarkets for discounts) and food and extras (get Potato Patch fries), but if you are a Pittsburgher, you go to Kennywood at least once a summer for fun...

We generally go to Kennywood every year, since I was a kid. Nice park; easy to get around, as it is not too big to traverse. Some thrill rides, mostly family rides. 3 good ole fashioned wooden coasters. More

Kennywood may not have the huge thrill rides of Cedar Point but it has its own charm: nicely landscaped grounds, some darn good coasters and a fun, festive atmosphere. I always enjoy my visits there and highly recommend it! More

Well, kennywood is your place if you like waiting in lines. Because most of it will be spent in them just to get to the front, where you then get terrible service from the workers. On top of that, the rides just full out suck. Kennywood only truly has two quality rides, the Phantoms Revenge and the Pittfall. And the... More
