Kennywood - Amazing Old School Amusement Park

[@TheCarpetbagger]

To anyone to noticed I may have missed a certain attraction, stay tuned......it’s coming

[@kirksbucketlist]

This is awesome! You definitely should come 2 hours north to Conneaut Lake Park, Waldameer Park, Drake Well and the O.C.&T. Train...and then head east to Knoebels while you are here!!!

[@lynnmmigdail7129]

I am so relieved. It really makes the pARK.

[@racritiahobson4337]

Check out Har-Ber Village in Grove, OK. har-bervillage.com By the way, I'm a huge fan of your channel. I love vintage artifacts and abandoned sites. History at its finest. Glad to be a subscriber. Looking forward to future videos.

[@payton____5274]

I go to Kennywood every summer, I love it so much and I definitely think that the Steel Phantom is the best ride there. If you didn’t go on it you really missed out. It’s so fun!

[@ScorpionsFatality]

@@payton____5274 its the phantoms revenge. The steel phantom was refurbished into phantoms revenge though. Cant remember the date.

[@sonic23233]

I'm glad you like Kennywood

[@christinevangilder6962]

Hey there Jacob!! I live in So. Maryland (by way of SWFL. 🌴🌞) and my elderly lady (97!!) grew up in West Mifflin PA. When I first met her she talked frequently about Kennywood Park. She remembers everything about KWP!! When admission was free, when the park would have concerts on the lawn in summer time. Her mother would pack a picnic basket for the 8 of them, and they would make a day of it. She used to live right down......or up? From KWP, and could walk there from Eliza Street! Amazing!!

[@conniecrawford5231]

Pittsburgh used to have West View Park , another fun amusement park with a great wooden coaster, the Dips!

[@MeggsNBaconn]

Hi from Pittsburgh! Kennywood is a staple of the city, I’m glad to see you come try it out!

[@GreenKarateMonkey]

I’ve been living in Pittsburgh all my life and that park was always my favorite.

[@BrodyMK64]

Same I live in the south hills

[@maddiew7844]

I live in Pittsburgh and kennywood is my least favorite theme park. They really let it go. It’s not even fun anymore

[@protorhinocerator142]

We used to go every year and then every now and then go to Cedar Point in Ohio. They used to have a wild west fronteir town section fot eh park there but they ripped that all out in favor of more coasters. I used to like that part. Kennywood still has a lot of olde tyme stuff from 100 years ago. The Thunderbolt used to be the Pippin and it was more like the Jackrabbit. Then they added those front loops you see all the time on the commercials and renamed it the Thunderbolt.

[@fuxwrongwitu]

I'm going to Kennywood for the first time in 10 years next week. I grew up in Pittsburgh so excited to go back and ride the coasters and eat at the potatoes patch

[@creeds00]

You know you are getting KZbin famous when on a Sunday morning your video gets over 1,000 hits in less than an hour of posting. Keep up the good work.

[@radar220]

The ski lift goes up to an upper parking lot, and garfield nightmare sucks compaired to what the old mill really was.

[@LunaBellaAngelina]

May I ask what the Old Mill used to be as this Garfield one looks terrible!

[@radar220]

It was kond like going through a haunted west style mill town, skeletons, ghost type thingsz a true dark ride, none of this black light shit

[@johnjacobs1776]

Thought I'd interject...when I was a kid I lived in Pittsburgh when my Dad was transferred the Old Mill was a sort of haunted wild west boat ride if I remember correctly. It was really cool. Yeah the Garfield theme was lame.

[@kathyflorcruz552]

I thought that Garfield & Rat trap thing we're really dark.

[@faiththeunknownbeing8126]

And ur skrewed if they are working 😂😂😂

[@josephconnelly1816]

Kennywood is such a fantastic small-town park. I live in Pittsburgh but haven't been for a couple years. This has made me so nostalgic for the park. Thank you for checking it out!

[@baileymae7504]

pittsburgh man here. this is one of the highest quality videos of kennywood on youtube. appreciate ya

[@oliviabender2863]

This is my favorite park, I’ve gone to Kennywood every summer since I was 4 and now I’m 15 in July. I love these rides so much!

[@cwhitley5007]

I’m happy you enjoyed our park

[@Piecemaker1623]

Yay! KENNYWOOD!! Welcome to Pittsburgh.

[@datru82]

Kennywood is awesome!

[@Jimmy-cs3zp]

Jmmy you good Friday 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌈🌈🌈

[@abbey8933]

From Pittsburgh, just went to kennywood last week and it will always be my favorite. So glad you loved it!! Really made my heart full

[@liv-xr8ri]

growing up this was my local theme park it’ll always be my fave

[@Rebelgirl-kv6bd]

I've been to Kennywood a few times and it's so much fun!!!

[@margaretsen7479]

Kennywood has a fantastic Fright fest at Halloween time.

[@davidbowers521]

Did you do the Noah’s Ark walk through haunted house? It’s also a neat old school treat.

[@JamiewoodCoasters]

It's also the last remaining operations Noah's Ark Funhouse in the word.

[@daniellel5284]

My mom tricked me into thinking it was a Bible ride... 30 years later 😱

[@XTHEDMAN420X]

Lol, not anymore it's not. When they renovated it due to internal rotting of the wood (because it was made in the 20's duh) they had renovated it to a lame fun house, like it was back in the 20th century

[@Countmax]

kyky quesadilla they had skeletons through the floor, Noah’s ark is and will always be Satans play ground,with the Bible sprinkled in.

[@cherylgood5110]

TFS, looks like you had a great time

[@DoomerCowboy]

Pretty neat seeing keeywood on this channel. Went there evey summer when I was a kid.

[@robynwood550]

I’m so happy you loved Kennywood. It’s my hometown park and no matter how many coasters I ride, it will always be my favorite.

[@mariorobertodellatorrecarl1863]

Wow, how interesting because I like it so much more amazing, have a good time, my friend.

[@kaydub0623]

The chairlift goes to a parking lot and the statue is of George Washington. Also, Thunderbolt is 51 years old as of this year. :)

[@ville666sora]

I always loved getting to sit on that chairlift and relaxing after a long day of walking around the park, with cotton candy or fudge or whatever treat I begged my parents to buy just as the park was closing lol. My feet always hurt so bad after being there all day.

[@StPaul-rp4iu]

Every year during summer break from school, me and my relatives would go to Kennywood Park back in the 80's. The Thunderbolt was my favorite. Garfield's Nightmare used to be the Tunnel of Love. I really miss those years.

[@johnashley327]

I graduated in 84 from hs. I remember school picnics and getting a new outfit and books of tickets.

[@bubblesdarke5226]

I love Kennywood. I try to make it there at least one time every summer.

[@indigoberry9040]

6:20 the jack rabbit behind you!!! oh this makes me so happy

[@santana204]

I know that exterminator line was long. It's always long. I love that ride

[@kellyd9009]

I cried on it a lot of times except for when me and my cousins went on it, I didn’t wanna embarrass myself

[@adrianna986]

We waited on it for like an hour and then it got shut down cause somebody fell off when they were getting off the ride 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@hiibob2618]

Santana Boyd Not always, I got to stay on the coaster 4 times in a row, no lines they whole day

[@sandyvi808]

Was there two weeks ago, sorry we missed you. Glad you liked our old trolley park in the 'burgh 😍

[@CoolPanda-nk6wq]

Going tomorrow! Woo! I look forward to going every summer

[@Booth81]

Pittsburgh really is one of the nicer places to see here, in the North, and probably the only big City I'd consider living in. Top notch, down to earth folks all over town. So glad you're there, showcasing this great little park in the area. As someone who's turning 39 this year, I really do prefer smaller parks to the big, corporate ones nowadays. PA's got plenty of other amazing little parks too, like Knoebels, and Waldameer.

[@IndiAcres]

That place was awesome!

[@marshavoiers327]

I have never been to Kennywood. Thanks for sharing this video. I'm now anxious to visit. I loved Geauga Lake here but they closed it. I miss the old , more family friendly amusement parks. Looks like a lot if fun.

[@KR-sh6rm]

I knew you would love Kennywood! That's why I suggested it during your livestream. So glad you had fun! 😀

[@maggieanderson3778]

Oh my goodness, Jacob. I had as much fun as you did. Thanks so much

The ninja turtle kid was a crack up! Very cool haunted house! Some jump scares in there for you Jacob! 😂☠️

[@RoseBlackwells]

[@radar220]

Oh yes, idlewilds halloboo.....idlewild is just fun for everyone, and there roller coaster, the old school out and back, is just a fun little coaster....i think its called "rollo coaster"

Been there a few times, and just got our season passes for my family this summer! This is the first time I’ve ever bought season passes, and I’m really excited about all the fun to be had this summer!! We are going April 25, when they are only open for season ticket holders! Glad you were able to check it out!

[@aljoe0181]

Enjoy welcome to Pittsburgh

[@faiththeunknownbeing8126]

I need to go back again. I make it a point to go on that big harness thing in the lake. 👌 It's good that I live here... But my friends think I'm insane. And then I'm waiting for the steel curtain.... Amazing

[@sara31773]

Ski lift goes to the upper parking lot. Only used occasionally for really busy days.

[@the_cheese]

Kennywood looks like a ton of fun! I love Jacob's reaction on the Thunderbolt!! Have you been to Oak's Amusement Park in the Sellwood neighborhood of Portland, Oregon? Its a great little amusement park, well worth a morning or afternoon of fun

[@relicman]

Thanks for doing this. I used to come here in the 90's with my cousins. They still go because they live near Pittsburgh.

[@barbaraharshman9460]

Glad you liked our park!

[@aidensauntieemme]

i just went there today! i absolutely LOVE kennywood! thunderbolt is my number one favorite ride there.. also black widow!

[@nikolaibreckenridge2287]

Kennywood used to have better Dark Rides. The Gold Rusher (which the Ghostwood Estates replaced). Le Cachot (a classic Bill Tracy dark ride), and the Old Mill (which was replaced by that boring Garfield nonsense).

[@faiththeunknownbeing8126]

The gold Rush was my shit lol

[@hiibob2618]

The Old Mill should come back or remove the Garfield and add a REALLY compacted RMC, but remove 2 pavilions behind it to make make room and maybe that one really big one

[@daniellel5284]

My god thank you! I thought I fever dreamed the terrifying dark rides from childhood. I couldn't even walk by without crying!

[@Nenezilla]

You forgot the Ghost Ship, but that may have been before your time (yeah, I'm an old Pittburgher)

[@ville666sora]

They seem to replace all the good rides other than the coasters.

[@ScottSharak]

Kennywood is a fun park, used to go a lot when I lived in Pittsburgh. Hope you tried the fries they are good. And the ark is fun to go in...

[@mjbari3]

I said to myself "Aggghhhh! Garfield's Nightmare!". It has worn out it's welcome here, but I enjoy it. Looks like all of the stunts were working that day! That is some of the best 'magic hour' footage on the Thunderbolt I have ever seen! Glad you enjoyed the park so much!

The Garfield ride looks so much better in this video than in real life 🤣

Glad you enjoyed my home park, Jacob! Everyone in the area pretty much agrees that Garfield needs to be converted back to the Old Mill like it was pre-2004. Also don't forget about Noah's Ark! It's the last of its kind and was refurbished a few years ago.

[@ambersparks9679]

I'm going there today I've been there since I was a toddler I've been on all the rides so far and they're making a new ride called "The Steel Curtin" its representing Pittsburgh Steelers!And the steel curtain is the tallest roller coaster in Pennsylvania! My sister is working there and shes 17 alot of my family who were teens worked there as a kid my mom did back in the day when she was a teen!😊

if you're still in the Pittsburgh area, jacob, you need to go check out the tour-ed mine in Butler county, and Fort Ligonier and Idlewild park in Westmoreland county. both are within an hours drive of pittsburgh.
