Am I the only one who gets excited for 2 weeks prior to Kennywood?! :) Bobby & I went on Sunday and had a blast! The weather was chilly at first, yet clear skies, and then warmed up just enough for 'perfect Kennywood weather'. \n\nOf course we enjoy the coasters, but it's the little rides that remind you of your childhood -- like the bumper cars, musik express, pirate ship, swings, ect that really gives this park history and the family-like feel.\n\nBut on to the coasters! I've always had a blast no matter how long the wait may be. The new(er) Sky Rocket - the roller coaster - is awesome! Even though it's short lived, the thrill you get is insane! Also, for some reason I ALWAYS make sure to ride the Racers first. I think it's because the line goes quicker so it's a good way to start the day, haha. \n\nEven my boyfriend who is terrified of roller coaster rode the Sky Rocket & Phantom's Revenge (proud moment because he literally had a panic attack on the hill of the revenge 2 years in a row & the 1st year he was asking me if the Thunderbolt was scary-- a wooden flipping coaster!)\n\nAnother plus (or maybe a negative in some eyes) is that they sell beer. It's across from the Aero 360 behind a wooden, white picket fence and security checks your ID before you even go in. It's $7 for a draft, wayyy too much in my opinion but it might be a good idea one day.\n\nYou can't forget about the food! Potato Patch fries with cheese & bacon are a must but there is also hot sausage, corn dogs, 2 cafe's, a mexican place with tacos/nachos that i didnt see till after i ate :( it must be new.. \n\nAll in all, Kennywood is a great day for the family. We are lucky to have an awesome amusement park in Pittsburgh. I make sure to visit atleast once a year.
