Make A Weekend Out Of It!
Make a weekend out of it and join us the day the day prior, Saturday, August 3, for KennyKon XXXV at Kennywood. KennyKon is ACE Western Pennsylvania's annual flagship event! This year, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the ever-popular indoor spinning coaster, The Exterminator! In addition, the original part of Thunderbolt, formerly known as Pippin, is celebrating 100 years. The Exterminator and Thunderbolt will host morning ERT, along with Turtle, which underwent a restoration following last summer. Nighttime ERT will include the brand new Potato Smash 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 a Behind-The-Scenes Experience with some seldom seen views of Racer and The Steel Curtain. Registration ends on July 24. For more information, click here.
