I can't believe there's all that to walk through! The outside of it looks like it would be a quick walk through, but dang pretty good illusion there. I like that it's a fun house now and not a scary.
My parents took me through this when I was a child. They thought it still had the fun house overlay, not the haunted house theme. Anyway I still have nightmares sometimes
Nope. In the 90's they did a ground-up rebuild of the entire Ark, and changed the theme to be more intense and scary. In 2016 they returned it to being a funhouse.
@@kaydub0623what happened to the “elevator” at the beginning of the ride? or the water room towards the end? i haven’t been to kennywood in over a decade.
I road every single roller coaster and attraction , at Kennywood but this one just scares me the most I hate dark rides or any roller coaster that has any long dark part to it and dark attractions, etc.
I'm a Pittsburgh resident and as often as my family and I have gone to Kennywood and walked through Noah's Ark, I didn't realize until just now how dark and grim the actual story of Noah's Ark really is. First of all, if you read about Noah's Ark in the Bible or the Tanakh, you will know that God caused a Great Flood to drown the world and cleanse it of sinners. God chose Noah, the supposed descendant of Adam, to build the Ark as a Sanctuary for Noah and his family (and two of every animal on Earth, of course) to survive the Great Flood. A good clean story that children can appreciate, right? But now with the hazard of Global Warming, Altered Weather Patterns, and the melting of the Polar Ice Caps? The story of Noah's Ark could be regarded not as an ancient esoteric moral narrative, as a premonition to what could happen if Humanity got out of line. Over a century of persistent toxic pollution from aggressive industrialization by the leadership of greedy capitalists is enough to make God Almighty concerned to the point of correcting them permanently. And if a Great Flood is what will convince this sinful rabble, then a Great Flood is what's going to happen unless we, God's children, do something about it. Having realized that, I wouldn't be surprised if #Tesla Incorporated sponsored Kennywood's Noah's Ark, just to wise people up about the danger of gasoline cars causing Global Warming.
I actually disagree. I was surprised by just how much was inside as far as the animals and scenes. And for the fact that it still rocked back and forth on the inside blew my mind. Even the Pirate Ship in Wildwood only did that for a couple years before they turned it off for good.
@@DarkinthePark Noah's Ark is a beloved attraction at kennywood and just a few years ago it was refurbished to keep it in good condition for many more years , they won't never turn off the swaying motion since it's a big part of the attraction.

I always giggle at how Gnarly Noah looks at he dinner table, poor guy

@BEANIEVRYT yes my favorite ride is the black widow and Phantom
I am assuming you don't like Exterminator! That is all in the dark with some light here and there.
@@sportsygirl8 yeah lol
@@Nina-pg9jx It's fun though! Not worth a 2 hour wait though.
the freaky parts are like the pirate ship in Wildwood, NJ
The Skua!
That is a claustrophobic fire trap.
I really didn't feel that way while going through. There is fire detection and suppression in the ride.
I miss the one in Blackpool
Everyone needs to check on Noah's goat. It needs an exorcist.
This traumatized me as a kid
I took my almost 2 year old sister on this thinking it was for little kids 😭😭 she was traumatized
Let me guess, pre-2016 when it still had the elevator and flooding chamber?

Well...let's hope that if the floods do come, that this ride takes float and survives the apocalypse.
@@DarkinthePark That would be quite a miracle, my friend.
very cool but not much going on inside.
