THIS EVENT IS
ONLY FOR ACE MEMBERS AND THEIR GUESTS!
After occurring in October in 2022, owing to
Coaster Con 44 being co-hosted by Cedar
Point and Kennywood in the summertime, and
after being held in June in 2021, when it
was a pre-Con event for Coaster Con 43 that
began the next day at Hersheypark, this year
KennyKon is back to its usual month – July!
While the haunt season doesn't occur until
autumn, this year's event will have a little
spooky flavor. You see, KennyKon is always
known to celebrate Kennywood's ride
anniversaries, and this is the 15th year for
Ghostwood Estate, the park's beloved
interactive dark ride. Before the park
opens, attendees will enjoy the opportunity
to both walk through and ride Ghostwood
Estate. Morning ERT will include The
Steel Curtain in
addition to Thunderbolt,
which is appropriate since it wasn't
operating during Coaster Con. Nighttime ERT
will include the brand new Spinvasion with
its awesome light package and The
Phantom's Revenge, which is undoubtedly
one of the best night rides out there!
Registered attendees will also enjoy a
catered all-you-can-eat picnic dinner and
other surprises as well!
