Kennywood Vlog June 2019

In this vlog we visit Kennywood for our first ever visit as part of our USA road trip. Kennywood dates back to 1899 and is home to a fantastic variety of rides including 8 roller coasters.
In this vlog we share our full experience from this wonderful amusement park including reviews from all of the major rides that were open during our visit. Final preparations were taking place for the opening of Steel Curtain however we did see this huge new coaster testing! Since we visited Steel Curtain is now open and we look forward to riding it in the near future!

Sad to see Bret go-he is definitely an asset worth keeping for the future. Works well with Shaun and Alex’s personalities.

Tom Kennedy I’m missing him already .hes on at least one other vlog (phantasia land Germany)

[@thecakecadet8450]

Bret is great hopefully he will appear afew more times next year great vlog aswell guys :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Brett really is awesome!

[@Domsonthecase]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide I bloody love Bret

[@dave44xxx]

gotta be the first time Phantom's Revenge was ever called a "family" coaster lol

[@ilmarirantanen]

I was literally just going to comment that 😂

[@ElementerChannel]

I think he means like a large scale coaster that the whole family could enjoy, like Millennium Force

[@Cccoast]

😂I’m hoping this was a blunder??? No way is this a family coaster! Much more intense than XL.

[@dave44xxx]

Elementer Channel soooo ALL coasters?...MF and PR are still two of the tallest coasters on the planet... not "family" coasters

[@ElementerChannel]

David Wills Some coasters are more intense than others, like Skyrush or i305, that the whole family could not enjoy together. Rides like this are fun and enjoyable for many. Local families will wait for their kids to be brave enough to ride these to ride all together.

[@TheLonelyGoomba]

I wanna meet the guy who came up with the idea of ruining every dark / ghost ride by adding guns and flashing targets. Just so I can give them a look of disappointment.

[@reyjusuf]

Maybe they just wanted to copy Buzz Lightyear and just added guns to their one dark ride

[@SlothyVlogs]

Yep... Me too 😜

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It's a shame as rides without are much better!

[@jg-7780]

Good thing Knoebels exists!

[@DanielODonoghue412]

Gold Rush giving way to Ghostwood Estate is not as bad as Garfields Nightmare

[@bisem433]

Hey guys I'm so glad you enjoyed Kennywood park. I always watch your videos and am proud to see you review the park I have been going to for over 50 years...in fact I was there a day ago riding the Steel Curtain. I do have a bone to pick with you however....you didn't mention the carousel. It was originally built for the 1926 Philadelphia Sesqui-Centennial Exposition, the Merry-Go-Round was later purchased by Kennywood becaus it wasn't finished on time. It has 50 jumping and 14 stationary horses, a lion and tiger, and over 1500 lights, this National Historic Landmark is considered to be the soul of Kennywood Park. The best part is the Wurlitzer Model #153 Military Band Organ that is still playing live music like brand new! At Kennywood when you separate from your family or friends you always agree to meet up later on at the Merry-Go-Round. It really is the heart of the park and I hope you got to ride it even though you didn't feature it in the video.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bputfXmkiZaeapI

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for the information!

[@RS-dd2wi]

Awww shame Brett couldn’t stay :( 100% please comeback soon - loved him on the channel. Hope you see him when you and Charlotte visit Orlando in September. I’m going to miss these vlogs when they finish. My favourites of the trip have been Silver Dollar City, Dollywood, Kennywood, Bush Gardens, most, if not all of the Cedar Fair parks (Kings Island wasn’t great) and Holiday World, but the Six Flags haven’t been great. Especially Six Flags Georgia, which was terrible experience. I personally think Bush Garden Tampa is the best in the world, but if I get to visit Cedar Point I think it may change

[@Oshawottr]

The only real blight of the trip has been Six Flags. Other than that, Shawn, Alex, and Brett have managed to find a couple of gems. Kennywood is beautifully presented!

[@jimmytwo3998]

Can’t say I’m tempted to travel all the way from uk to go to any of the 6 flags parks .but definitely want to visit the cedar fair parks . And silver dollar city , Dollywood , kenywood , Busch Garden’s . (So far)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Agreed, we've had an amazing trip and seen some wonderful parks such as this! We'll always be honest in our videos and share our true, genuine thoughts!

[@AmaranTheTauren]

With regards to your merchandise, “Kennywood’s Open” is a Pittsburgh euphemism for “Your zipper is down”.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Love this, I never realised!

[@jbmiller3280]

You already said what I was going to say.

[@AmaranTheTauren]

Kennywood is my home park, wish I could have met up with yinz’. Could have told you quite a bunch about the dark rides history’s. Jackrabbit is the oldest ejector airtime in the world. John A. Miller patented the upstop wheel in 1919 and the Jackrabbit was opened in the 1920 season.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for the information!

[@shadowking3862]

Its mine to I love the park it is so cool and it has a lot of good history and that's what makes the park awsome

[@sportsygirl8]

I should have watched his vlog of all the parks he was going to in the US and could have met up with them at either Kennywood or Hershey, depending on what days they were there. I haven't been to Hershey yet this year, mostly because I wanted to save room to come to Kennywood and ride Steel Curtain.

[@georgeoberdorf274]

This is my hometown park. I grew up about 30 mins away. THANK YOU so much for this Vlog. I haven’t been able to get home to Kennywood since 2008. It was like I was there again. I’ll comment on some of the questions ya had... 1. “Garfield’s Nightmare”, I agree, is an abomination. Back in the 80’s it was called “Heardheaded Harold’s Horrendously Humorous Haunted Hideaway”. It was sooooo much better themed! And it was themed more to old west living skeleton scenes. 2. “Ghostwood Estates used to be a classic mine dark ride called “The Gold Rusher”. It was riding through a boomtown SCARY mine and was REALLY dark and had tons of jump scares, one where spiders fell onto your head. 3. I rode the original “Steel Phantom” tons throughout my childhood and teen years. I never found the inversions rough. But I am a smart cookie and always keep my neck away from the over the shoulder harnesses, which they had back then. I went back in 2001 and got to ride the changed version. I am one of the few in the camp that actually preferred the original. I want to go back this year and re-ride it, since I became a true coaster enthusiast post-2010. 4. To put in “Steel Curtain” they removed one of the best log flumes I’ve ever been on, “The Log Jammer”. It was one of the longest and was Kennywood’s first one million dollar ride in 1976. 5. “Bayern Curve”was removed from the park in the late 80’s. People protested so much that it was brought back in the early 2000’s. 6. Where SkyRocket stands is where the antique car ride was, called “The Turnpike”. It was like driving down America’s first toll road in classic cars ranging from 1910’s ’s to 1960’s style. HUGE backlash ensued from removing it. 7. “Ghostwood Estates” also used to share the same building with another classic dark ride on the backside of it, facing “Noah’s Ark.”. It was called “Le Cachot” and was dungeon themed. I also thought it was the second best of the dark rides, after Noah. It was made by Salley. 8. I can’t believe you didn’t ride “Auto Race”. It’s the only surviving kind of ride in the world. 9. “The Whip”used to be covered and housed in a pavilion, beside “Log Jammer”, where “Steel Curtain” is today. It was moved to the new Lost Kennywood section when it was built. 10. When Lost Kennywood was opened it featured a Rolo-Plane and “Pit-fall”, one of the tallest free-fall rides ever built. It was plagued with issues and removed to replace it with “Black Widow”. 11. You also missed “The Kangaroo”, another historical ride dating from the 20’s. 12. You must get “The Potato Patch” fries with brown gravy next time. You’ll feel like you’re back home :) 13. The Kennywood Carousel is named #2 best in the world, after Knoeble’s. Noah’s Ark was also #1 dark ride in world. 14. Make sure to watch the documentary “Kennywood Memories”, made back in 1988 from WQED Pittsburgh. It’s on KZbin and will show you how much the park has changed in 30 years... and how much is exactly the same. Finally, If you go back next year, I’ll gladly fly in from Dallas to meet you there and be your tour guide lol. Gives me an excuse to see my family AND ride “Steel Curtain” and “SkyRocket”, both of which are new to me. I’m so happy that you appreciated my favorite park for what it is... a true slice of historical American theme park magic and majesty! Cheers, boys! -Geo in Dallas, TX

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for the information!

[@georgeoberdorf274]

Theme Park Worldwide anytime Boss!!

[@swiftbear]

When I was a kid the Ghost Wood Estate ride used to have a huge fake spider fall down out of the ceiling, scared the crap out of me first time as a kid. This was like 30+ years ago O.o

[@AmaranTheTauren]

What Kennywood did to the Old Mill was an aberration. It used to have incredible charm and old 50s style barely working animatronic skeletons doing silly things in an old west ghost town. The scenes on CP’s train reminds me of the old theming. Good catch that it’s the mill’s waterwheel that is the primary driver of the water channel and it’s not decorative.

[@sonotdown998]

@AmaranTheTauren Yeah. They really need to put it back the way it was. Admittedly though, when I rode it back in the early ‘90s, nothing was working.

[@G.0.]

@@sonotdown998 Yea. I remember it from the 90s and honestly feel this is an upgrade. Sadly.

[@mrtoastykat2825]

[@gavinvirag3483]

Glad you enjoyed Kennywood so much! Locals forget how special it is. Hope you come back to get on skyrocket and Steel Curtain and to see it at night! It’s really amazing at night. Skyrocket’s first half is really fun and the inversions are great. Steel Curtain is a fantastic ride. Gives Kwood a great 1 2 punch with phantom. Again, glad you enjoyed it and giving it such a nice review.

[@lilnugget2317]

Skyrocket is going to be open this summer I went like 2 months after watching this video and it was open and I rode it it's amazing and so is steel curtain

[@mischiefmanaged5757]

Wow. That park looks amazing. I’m definitely going to plan a trip to include. Cedar Point and Kennywood. The wooden coasters look so much fun there. Brett has been a great addition. He is very knowledgeable and provides good critiques. Another great vlog.

[@yeaaalilly]

when you get there you HAVE TO ride the phantom's revenge first its the best one

[@mischiefmanaged5757]

68RobloxVideos Thanks for the tip! 😄

[@robinjones394]

It truly is a beautiful park... and it has amazing kiddie rides too.. really a great park for a family... I hope you love it! I’ve lived here my entire life (nearly 50 years).. The guys are correct when they say how smooth and well kept the wooden coasters are.. you can really feel it.. a lot of love has been put into this park over the years..

[@mischiefmanaged5757]

Robin Jones Sadly, we have had to postpone our trip this year, but it is still one of our must visit parks once we can get there. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@jg-7780]

I love how the northeast US has a billion whips, they’re nowhere near extinct in this region!

[@10nestaw1993]

that industrial back drop on phantom's revenge station looks so cool.

[@thefactsarethese3668]

Alex would be the first person I've ever heard to insist on Kennywood being a THEME park.

[@user-pl5ds8iz6q]

Its definitely a theme park. Its an escape. All the old historic buildings, rides and landscaping makes Kennywood one of the USAs best theme parks. Completely different to Six Flags where they just stick a bunch of coasters on concrete with no atmosphere.

[@thefactsarethese3668]

@@user-pl5ds8iz6q I'd say you're confusing atmosphere with theme (amusement parks are intended to be escapes too, after all), but to each their own.

[@user-pl5ds8iz6q]

@@thefactsarethese3668 technically every park is a theme park. All rides are in some way themed. Steel Curtain for example is themed to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Just some parks are more immersive than others. Disney is at the top. Six flags is at the bottom

Shawn - You, Alex and Brett together is now my favorite team up for your vids. You all compliment each other so well and everyone brings something unique to the table. I have really enjoyed your america series... maybe as mentioned you could make this an annual thing though obvs on a smaller scale - Def dropping the six flags parks :-) Looking forwards to Canada's wonderland next guys...

[@katioely8672]

Didn't expect that this park is so amazing. So many classic coaster. Steel Curtain looks insane. I love the sound of the Arrow 360

[@joeheid2776]

Amazing your analysis of Garfield's Nightmare. Us older people loved the Old Mill.

[@biged680]

its back!

[@katiethompson0629]

Guys you missed the Kangaroo! One of the best family rides in the park and so much fun. Make sure you ride it next time. The arrow's used to be all around the West Mifflin area to actually direct you to Kennywood. And the shirt you bought means that your fly is down ;). Kennywood's Open :)

[@mattman237]

I'm gonna have withdrawals symptoms when these US vlogs end, LOL.

[@Cccoast]

The entrance is set up like that due to the fact it originally opened as a Trolly park in the 1800’s.... it was a popular set-up “back in the day.” Lake Compounce in Connecticut kept this design through the years as well! This was supposed to make guests feel as if they were stepping into another world from what I’m told.... I think it was also functional at one point, with the bridge serving as the station. On another note, these parks were included with the ticket of the trolly and were used as a promotional experience to try to get patrons to ride the privately owned trolley lines. ... ALSO, Kennywood is one of two historic landmark parks in the USA. Rye’s Playland is the other. I’m sure you know all this already! But figured I’d leave this for others wondering why the entrance is the way it is! Also, phantom a family coaster???

[@chartle1]

West View Park was the same. The tunnel was a way to get you across tracks well I guess under them. :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for the information! We loved Phantom!

[@coasterkid21]

Just to let you know for you shirt. If you live in Pittsburgh you say “Kennywood’s Open” to let someone know that there pants fly is open!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I never realised!

[@jacobstaahl4900]

This is the same here in Denmark, however we say "your Tivoli is open"

[@james82]

Iconic. Iconic. Iconic. Iconic. Iconic. Iconic. Iconic. Iconic. Iconic.

[@Jeremy-jx4kq]

When you come back to the area you should try to make time for Waldameer in Erie, PA. It’s not a full-day park by any means but you have Ravine Flyer II and 3 other credits and the park has a really unique charm (the statues). It’s a perfect combination day with Kennywood or Conneaut Lake Park.

[@250R1983lover]

Can we have a moment of silence for Morgan? They would be making world class rides STILL if they were operating. What an underated manufacturer

[@spaceistheplace2293]

Morgan and Chance rides merged into Chance Morgan, the name has been changed to just Chance Rides now, however Chance is still carrying the legacy of Morgan with their hyper GTX model.

[@250R1983lover]

Thank you!

[@epsxik3870]

I do have to say Kennywood have play some great music

[@keiraneven9034]

This park is incredible. Phantoms revenge is a airtime machine do you agree?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We loved it!

[@lifedoom2922]

I can agree so much. my first time riding it when I was exactly 48 inches I got so much air time because I was 48 inches and a small skinny 9 year old

[@biggleboyfleming649]

I look like an hour away from and yes

[@CoolPanda-nk6wq]

I dont know if you had them this trip,BUT next time you have to get some potato patch fries! Kennywood is just as famous for them as they are the coasters. Theyre a must!

[@gerardolivier5250]

one of the best parks in the usa ;)

[@quix9556]

Glad you visited my home park! About that log flume boat and vintage car, the Log car was from Log Jammer which was a Arrow log flume where Steel Curtain is now, and the car is from Turnpike which Sky Rocket is at now. Hopefully you guys come back and ride Steel Curtain, Sky Rocket which is now open finally as well as Black Widow.

[@jbmiller3280]

Nice humble comment from a guy who was on the first public ride of Steel Curtain.

[@quix9556]

^^^^^^^*

[@lindaschad298]

Thank you for visiting Kennywood! I have so many memories of it, including school picnics. Walking through that first tunnel was always a thrill, because you were at Kennywood at last! Glad you guys liked it.

[@charli.ward.]

Welcome to Pittsburgh! I predicted you would really really enjoy kennywood because of the assortment of classic woodies and the small family oriented park charm. Personally I don’t really, I prefer making a bit of a trip in either direction to Hersheypark or cedar point over visiting my local park. I’m not a huge fan of classic woodies at all, so my opinion of kennywood is rather unpopular as a Pittsburgh dweller. If they keep with it and continue improving the assortment of modern steel coasters and bigger thrills, I can really see it being much more well rounded. It’s a shame you barely missed steel curtain’s opening, but you weren’t missing much at all with skyrocket. Fun Pittsburgh slang fact: kennywood’s open means your fly is unzipped

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for the information!

[@JoriDiculous]

how nice of them to name a Park after Kenny :)

[@iangraham6351]

I’m glad you guys enjoyed my hometown park! Steel Curtain and Sky Rocket are up and running so I hope you get to come back to ride them!

Ik the second day it opened it closed again

[@KoasterKrieger]

It did not close down again.

[@user-pl5ds8iz6q]

Unlucky boys, I got Sky Rocket and Steel Curtain today. Had to wait 3 hours for curtain though. Both great rides but Phantom is king

[@robinjones394]

I rod3 the Steel Phantom as a teenager the first summer it opened... the speed was out of control (and was clocked at 96 mph) and there was a ton of head-banging.. you didn’t miss anything. Once they removed the inversions,, and redid the layout, it became an amazin* coaster.. I’ve lived here 48 years and I’ve loved Kennywood. I’m so glad you loved our park... btw “Kennywood’s Open” means that your zipper is down... lol.. seriously.. say that to anyone who grew up in Pittsburgh and they will reach for their pants zipper..

[@camikelly2356]

I went to Kennywood in June 2014. I liked the old-school wooden roller coasters. Like you said, it's important to stay well-hydrated in the heat at theme parks, as well as getting a good night's sleep. I didn't have the best experience at Kennywood because I got sick on the pirate ship and I didn't get much sleep the night before. I couldn't imagine doing a trip like you did. I'd be too tired after one day. But it's great you can keep going like that.

[@johnshores4745]

thanks for taking the time to do offride shots , when you only get 1 sometimes 2 days at a park it must have taken alotta ride time to do it 👍👍👍

"Kennywood's Open" is a local slang meaning that your fly is down

[@LindsayTVFilm]

There's 2 documentaries done by the Pittsburgh affiliate of PBS. It's all from the same summer back in the 80's, but one with never before seen footage came out 2-3 years ago. Both are on KZbin (the newer one is That Kennywood Summer)

@Theme Park Worldwide I was just kidding. Just wanted to give you some Pittsburgh attitude. You guys are awesome!

[@ethanfaranda8174]

I feel your pain. Went to Kennywood 5 days before Steel Curtain opened and then sky rocket opened the day after steel curtain

[@Meekimotosyoutubechannel]

I like the tin sign you got.. You also mentioned Kennywood didnt have that corporate feel.. Maybe that's what I was getting at with Cedar Point. Too commercialized and expensive. I love the place but I think they need a new wooden coaster at the beach area, and add more flatrides .. they took out the wildcat and the log ride.. It just needs a few small things like that to give back some of the classic feel. I agree they do lack a good dark ride.. I also think they could squeeze some room out of behind the gaming area by gatekeeper and the corner of the parking lot that gatekeeper changed the layout of.

[@susanmorine7438]

the sky rocket opened :)

[@chartle1]

You know everyone knew were not from the area when you pulled out a map. I'm a local and didn't even know they had them. ;) But Kennywood would love to be more of a destination park and love to see more people carrying maps. :)

[@MrShowbizguy]

Another satisfying vlog Shawn, you showed corners of the park I've not seen in any other vlog

[@ChloeClements34]

Kennywood is so magical, everytime i go here or see this park it makes feel 10 years old again. It has such a charm and it history to it. I know you were disappointed about Steel Curtain but hey when this park is only 3.5 hours away from Cedar Point it's always worth coming back. Sky Rocket is not a very good coaster, its launch is ok but poor compared to newer models and it breaks so hard on the top hat it wrecks the rest of the ride which is slow and uneventful. The trains are not very comfortable and painful for taller riders. Great vlog and great trip so far boys.

[@Peterwrayadventures]

Great to see the history throughout the park. Another awesome vlog.

[@handbaghound]

I adore The Whip!! Our local park #FantasyFarm had 1 I loved it so much..great childhood memories

[@Jeremy-jx4kq]

Seems like you guys found a second wind the last few parks. Great to see! Kennywood is great!

[@jeanlines2588]

You already know we loved Steel Curtain! Sky Rocket was a fun ride but the restraints were horrible so we had no desire to reride it. Garfield's Nightmare is really a nightmare. I remember loving the Old Mill ride as a kid and couldn't believe they put this theming in a few years ago. Definitely time to change it again!

[@f1fan112]

Sky Rocket is a good coaster... shame it wasn't running. I am 99% sure it is running now though.

[@judiplaz]

As u were looking thru the merch, u touched a Laser Loop t shirt. Pittsburghers remember it well. A single loop coaster, out and back. It was sold to a park in mexico I believe where they just retired it for good. It sat where lost Kennywood is now. The laser loops platform is now Phantom revenges platform. Hasn't changed much either. Great vlog!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching!

[@cumbriandoddy]

Any plans to do review of the whole trip shaun once the vlogs are done? Reflection on the parks and rides as a whole would be really interesting. Perhaps a video on the merch purchased as well?

Great vlog guys! Oh was great to have Bret along for some of this journey, he's an absolute G!

[@philhunter9134]

Been waiting for this one. Kennywood is my parent's childhood park. And my brother's, and the rest of my family. If you live in or around Pittsburgh you've been to Kennywood innumerable times; it's part of life. When you were on the 'Whip', I couldn't help but think that my parents were on that ride, like eighty years ago; probably in those very seats! So, I'm very happy that you had such a good time.

[@jbmiller3280]

My memories in the early 70’s were riding the Whip when it had the pavilion roof over near where Steel Curtain is now located. A classic sampling of Kennywood: Two little kids on the Whip (always laughing and grinning after each whip turn); then a little kid “driving” and a parent (or older sibling) in the back seat on the Auto Ride just outside KiddieLand.

Kennywood was founded in December 1898. It opened in Summer 1899.

[@trevorb.yokkanan9801]

Have to say that interactive Dark Ride looked awesome. It looked as though some of the targets also triggered something to happen with either animatronics or some kind of prop action. Loved that! If I pay a visit to Kennywood, I will be trying that out.

Ghostwood Estate reminds me of when the Boo Blasters ride at Kings Island was the Phantom Theater. It was a dark ride minus the guns and with more animatronics, it was great.

This park reminds me of the movie,"Adventureland".

Hmm Maybe because that's where it was shot. ;-)

Just recently made my first visit to this classic park. Phantom's Revenge was even better than expected and I love their collection of classic wooden roller coasters. I never got to ride Garfield's nightmare but I'm glad that the Old Mill returned. It's a great classic and a very fun ride. Sadly Steel Curtain was closed along with the rest of Steelers country. I've ridden Maxx Force and I think the inversions on it are fantastic and Steel Curtains look just as good. Sky Rocket is a very fun ride with some great airtime moments and awesome inversions. The launch doesn't blow you away or anything but it comes pretty unexpectedly. Nothing really matches the surprise of rolling launches or launches out of the station to me, doesn't matter if they're a little weaker, you can really tell when a ride with a non-rolling launch outside of the station is going to launch and it takes away from some of the intensity. Sadly didn't have time for much else besides the coasters but I'll definitely be returning some time for the charm of the park, vintage attractions and Steel Curtain.

I’m glad you enjoyed your time at Kennywood. I’m so glad to have met you at Kennywood and had the ride on the thunderbolt! Steel curtain is such an amazing ride and the sky rocket is now open again!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was great to see you!

[@robj7481]

I’m trying to imagine what patrons would have thought if Steal Curtain was built back in the early days of tame woody coasters. They probably would have looked at those inversions and been terrified!

The Ghostwood part gave me flashbacks to when I had to work that ride in 2017. I'm now at the Thunderbolt/Raging Rapids. I must have been at the rapids when you were at the Thunderbolt in this vid.
