- Join us for a visit to Kennywood in Pennsylvania, the 4th park of our USA Road Trip! In this vlog we experience everything that this classic amusement park has to offer, along with POV's and reviews from all of the roller coasters. This includes Steel Curtain, the roller coaster with the most inversions in the USA and the tallest inversion in the world! We also ride Phantom's Revenge along with all 3 of the classic wooden roller coasters. Along with that we experience the awesome dark rides and capture the epic atmosphere that Kennywood has to offer

What’s impressive is how Shawn vlogs and rides coasters all day fuelled by only chips and a piece of chocolate cake.
Kennywood was spared the wrath of a dry hot dog fueled Shawn!
The cake was so good!
I only had a five hour day here because of the rain, but I loved this park.
It is indeed impressive. I have emetophobia (phobia of vomiting) and anytime I go to a theme park, I keep my eating pretty light until the end of the day, because even though I know I don’t get sick on rides and never have in my life, my brain doesn’t trust it. Heat and hunger is not a fun combination.
It’s the Cooplands “ cheese sticks” that make the difference…👍
I cannot expres how much I appreciate that you put in POV’s in this vlog. That must take a lot of time and effort, but don’t think it’s going unnoticed. Thank you.
I agree it's nice to have povs
I appreciate that!
I love that you put POVs in for coasters you can't film on! Hope this is something that sticks around in the vlogs as the POVs really make the video!
Agreed
I purposely paused the video so I could come comment the very same thing how much I appreciate that you are putting in the povs that you can't film yourself. I hope you're able to do that for every park that doesn't allow you to film as nearly all of them publish povs for their own rides. It is absolutely wonderful to not have to stop your videos to go find a POV and then come back. Again cheers to you thanks a lot.
Oh and kudos to you for having chocolate cake and french fries for lunch LOL also I have to add I love it when anybody from the UK says "exterminate" because they can't seem to help themselves saying it like a Dalek from Doctor Who!
Not all parks provide an official POV of their rides though which is what those are, pretty sure Shawn would have included them on all the videos for this trip so far if they’d been available.
I personally don't like it; I think it ruins the pacing, plus it feels awkward switching to a different video quality / framerate and back again. I know I'm in the minority, though.
@@ThemeParkOgre that part did throw me a little but I overall do appreciate it more than not. It is a little weird that we're not hearing his exuberance during a POV slotted in the middle that he didn't film, but I often stop the video and go watch a POV elsewhere if he is unable to film one. That to me is more disrupting but it feels weird not having it in there. It is an interesting experiment and I appreciate the time he took to do it as I'm certain the additional editing time must be difficult especially on a Marathon road trip like this. I think all opinions are valid and you may not actually be in the minority for the exact same reason that you stated. I personally do hope he continues them through this trip when possible and I respect you for stating your opinion especially if it seems it was in the minority as that takes some confidence. Funny enough the one that I felt was jarring but also the most interesting was the one for the indoor spinning Mouse coaster. The Exterminator. I love how when he said it was like he was speaking as a Dalek LOL. The split POV was unexpected but glad we got to see it as a riders experience on the left and illuminated on the right. It's not something that Shawn would have been likely able to do, so that in itself is an enhancement even if a little jarring.
It is smart that Kennywood offers a press kit with POVs! You did well integrating them in!
Thank you!
Glad you guys enjoyed my home park. Kennywood is very special to those of us from Pittsburgh!
Absolutely love that you included the park POV's since so many of our American parks no longer allow filming on-ride. It adds that extra something special to already amazing vlogs.
Fully agree 👍
Love the added POV’s , Shawn ! …You pair are brimming with excitement and it’s contagious, thank you for sharing
Thank you!
Thank you Shawn and Charlotte! You guys have put such a huge smile on my face today. I'm so glad you enjoyed my home park Kennywood so much!
That’s wonderful to hear!
Shawn, your commentery, stats and info, with regard to every attraction you experience is phenomenal. You are a Theme Park Oracle. As is your Lifelong, Park Enthusiast, Companion and Partner. Charlotte needs acknowledgement regarding your feedback. It's just great that you can do it together. Treasure every moment. And thank you for sharing your experiences. Keep it it coming. Enjoy the beautiful weather! Lots of love. X
Thank you very much!
Kudos to Kennywood for providing POVs! That's a huge plus to the videos. Ishould think more parks would do this, since they already have those for promotion.
Wahaaaaaaaayyyy….aaayyyyyyyy… great videos as usual and Charlottes commentary is really balancing it all well. 👍 Remember… don’t forget Beacholme Cleethorpes… and the amazing Fishing Heritage Centre in Grimsby… they have a complete street with houses recreated from 1940’s Grimsby including an old pub and a complete genuine Trawler tour!! 👍👍
I really appreciate you, Shawn. Thank you for all the hard work editing, adding the park's POV on ride footage! Hope you guys are having an amazing trip so far! ✌&❤
Thank you so much!
Me and my dad have watched this channel for 4 years! Absolute mint vids. We love our rides and this yt channel encourages us to go to more places such as thee funny world vlog! That was absolute crazy and fascinating place which I wanna vist in future.
Thank you so much!
The effort and dedication to this channel is 2nd to none.. its honestly 1 of the best channels on youtube by far!!! 👍🏻
Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed my home park! I grew up in the neighborhood just outside of the parking lot. There have been a lot of changes there since I left in 1974.
I really love that you have added ride POVs to the rides that you aren't allowed to film on for this series, as I often finding myself watching your videos and then pausing to go and search for a POV. Nice work! And as always your incredible commitment to getting videos up quickly is so impressive and appreciated!
Thank you!
Another great vlog and you clearly loved this visit to Kennywood Shawn. Appreciate you intersecting the vlog with the park provided POV’s as well. And yes, I think we’ve all noticed the moustached girl at 22:43 🥸🤣🤣🤣 Also the girl on her phone whilst on The Whip at 49:34 🤷🏻♂️
We had such a great time!
I know what you mean now when comparing Kennywood to BPB, very similar with the woodies and Noahs Ark. Fair play to Charlotte for keeping up with your relentless pace. Big Congrats re 350k!! 🎉
They really do have a great vibe. Thanks for watching!
I dont know how you guys have managed it, I watch ALL your videos and they always brighten my evenings. Im going through a personal crisis currently suffering from psychosis and am in and out of mental health facilities so to have these videos to watch brings much needed happiness into my life. What I meant when i said i dont know how you guys managed it was how you've been able to get official POV's from the park and include them when otherwise you would not be allowed to film on ride, however you managed that - i salute you. Thanks both of you for making my days better and helping my recovery seeing that there IS good life out there to be had. Dan Farrell
Sorry to here that. Thanks for watching!
Loving the vlogs so far! Pittsburgh is the closest major city, and Kennywood is the closest large amusement park to me. It really is great. It makes me happy to see yinz hitting the good parks in my home state. Can't wait to see what you thought of Waldameer!
Thank you!
Hi shawn and Charlotte what a great Park. Really appreciate how you put the official pov's into the vlog. They used to have Kenny wood kangaroo ride at the fun fairs here in the UK. I used to love riding the them . Really enjoying the USA trip so far . Thanks for sharing with us . Love to you both as always Tracey 💕 xxxx PS Congratulations on the 350k 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
Looks like you guys are loving the Pennsylvania parks!! Kennywood what is my home park so happy you guys loves it ! Pa has so many awesome parks ❤
We had a great time!
I grew up across the Mon River and would go to Kennywood many times each year. Still remember Laugh in the Dark as a wee lad, some of the best rides Ghost Ship & Le Cachot are long gone. Never got to ride the Pipin which morphed into the Thunderbolt. The acrobatic shows that would happen at 9:30PM was awesome! Many memories.
Phantom’s Revenge looks a great ride loads of airtime and a bold statement from Charlotte her favourite coaster so far of the trip. Steel Curtain really dominates the skyline and what a ride also. Great vlog guys.
It’s epic!
It's nice that kennywood have done there own POV's as you can still be part of the rides
What an awesome vlog guys thank you again. I’m living vicariously through you & im so excited now bout my upcoming trip next year you truly are the best out there for your coverage of theme parks & I’m so glad you get to do it together 😊😊. Can’t wait for next one much love guys ❤ Lisa your Aussie fan ❤❤❤❤ be safe on the road ❤
If you ever do a trip to the US, do an east coast trip like this because there are so many parks densely packed into a "small" area (small for the US anyway)
Thank you so much!
@@gametime2473 I’m heading to Nashville first to visit friends then to travel east coast 😄
great vlog and thank you for putting in the pov's for us to see
Thanks for watching! We’ll be sure to share more official POV’s in vlogs when we can’t film our own!
Good video, Shawn and Charlotte! I enjoyed watching it! My dad and I went to Kennywood in June 2014 and liked it. I definitely love the old school classic wooden coasters. They definitely don’t get the love they deserve. On the contrary, hopefully they can get Steel Curtain up and running by this season since it’s been SBNO for awhile.
Thank you!
Thanks
Thank you for your support!
Many thanks for cutting in the official POVs, much enjoyed!
Thanks for watching!
Sandstorm playing on Steel Curtain was by far the highlight of my day
Brilliant tune
Love your channel. It’s great how you’re so consistent with content. I know it’s your job, but it’s a job that you love and your passion is inspiring. After a long day at work, it’s so nice to be able to wind down and watch your videos which are always super fun. Keep up the good work👍👏Much love from Cheshire🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you!
I wish I would’ve known you were coming to Kennywood!!!! My home park!!!! Thanks for coming to visit and shining a spotlight on our little Amusement park.
We loved our visit
I am loving following your american adventures! Brilliant vlogs. Thank you for including the park povs where you can as it really helps to see what the coaster is like!
We got our platinum passes. Haven’t been to kennywood in 16 years since I was a teenager and we live between kennywood and sandcastle. Can’t wait to go back and ride some of the new rides.
Glad you had a great day at the park guys. It looks amazing, and so want to visit some day. Thank you so much again for another amazing video guys, loving your trip so far.❤❤❤❤
We loved it!
I have to say, and i thought this after your previous Kennywood vlog, that this is a great looking park. As you say, well cared for attractions, good variety, very fun thrill rides that don't just plain scare you -- they offer thrills rather than fear, which adds up to a really fun looking park. This is a place i would never have heard about, were it not for TPWW, but it is a real bucket list kind of park, based on the ride offerings, the scenery, and the atmosphere.
love the vids bro ever since I was in high school keep it up
I am glad to see you enjoying my home park!
Nice touch with the official POVs more of this please!
Thank you!
Perhaps my favorite vlog of the trip so far. I've only been there once, and that was when steel phantom was there. I remember loving the park though for all the historical rides. Jackrabbit, noahs arc, kangaroo, all were great! Loved seeing them again tonight! I must admit though, I've seen the posts on Facebook today from cedar point, really can't wait for those vlogs 😊
So many great rides at Kennywood. My personal Top 3
1. Phantoms Revenge
2. Thunderbolt
3. Racer
I went here last year and it was the best theme park I have ever been to!highly recommend
I love coming along with you guys for the ride, best wishes x
Thanks for watching!
Saw you two in line for Millennium Force during early entry at Cedar Point (June 6th). MNL2 Contriver was in the same line, same frame.
Wow, Pennsylvania has great parks! Going to have to go there someday!🎢
Front row on Thunderbolt will give you a crazy pop out of your seat when you hit the lift till.
Love that you enjoyed my childhood park in Kennywood, and my current local park of Hesheypark. Your videos are a joy!
THANK YOU for the POVs . ✨✨✨
Thanks for watching!
Love listening to both of you! Keep on riding!
POV for when parks don’t allow. Nice. Great idea guys. Well done.
Woweee !! My favourite park so far. Great selection of attractions. Can see some similarities with Blackpool but much better here. The Haunted house shooting ride is what i would love to have seen at UK's Alton Towers....perhaps after missing out with the Curse house they could build this instead of the indoor coaster ? I wish they would. Super coverage. Snakes !!! Flip....reminds me of DisneyWorld Orlando with beware the Snakes and Gators signs round one of the mini golf courses ( one near Fantasia). Looks like you are having a whale of a time there.
We loved it here!
thank you for this Kwood love vlog..The park has never looked better
I love Kennywood! I worked there during the summers while I was at University of Pittsburgh.
Kennywood seems like a great park. I hope to go here some day. Thunderbolt and Phantom are especially appealing with how they manage to save their best tricks for last. From what I can see, that Spinvasion ride is pretty much an old school Apollo in modern guise, like what Legendia still has. Everything old becomes new again.
The classic woodies are fantastic
This park looks so lovely. Totally see what you mean about about the BPB vibe. Jack Rabbit and Kennywood Racer remind me so much of Dipper and Nash. So nice that they have a lil shoutout to BPB in the station too! 😊
If I would’ve know yinz were in my neck of the woods I would’ve showed ya’ll around Pittsburgh.
Great job! I really enjoyed! 😊
Can we just talk about the snake for a second 😱😱 sooooo random that dude was just walking along with it 🙈😂
I like how you edited the ride POVs into the vlogs! It’s a great idea!
Thanks!
So pleased you had such a great time at my local park! Loved the vlog
Your local park looks amazing!
We loved it here!
The vlogs have been so good so far enjoying them so much cant wait for loads more to come!!
Thank you. We’re loving this trip so far!
Kennywood has always looked like such a charming park to me, really looks brilliant, loving this trip so far, phantom’s revenge looks outstanding!
It’s such a great park!
Another fantastic vlog from a wonderful looking park. Great mix of thrills and classics. Would love to visit and experience this for myself.
Omg 😱 I love Shawn’s vlogs especially living off only fuelling up on fish 🐠 n chips 🍟 cake 🍰 🌭fizzy drink 🥤 donuts 🍩 ice cream then going on all the intense rides I don’t know how you manage without not throwing up 🤢 feeling dizzy, I guess Shawn must be made of tough stuff like metal steel of iron, I love the combined footage of Shawn’s off ride footage with the parks own POV on rides what a great interesting vlog
Thanks for watching!
I love the sound of wooden roller coasters both on and off ride they sound amazing.
They are awesome!
Loving the vlogs from your American trip, so entertaining, informative and you two are so fabulous. A huge congratulations on reaching 350K subs, well deserved and I look forward to reaching the 500K, which I think won't be too long. Keep up the superb work and you'll always have me as a huge fan and subscriber.
Thank you so much!
Loving this USA trip so far. Hope theres more pov's to come!
Thank you! More on the way!
Actually it's a great idea to have 2 tracks side by side on Racer. That must increase the capacity enormously! 🥰 The queue is never standing still! ❤❤❤
Fun fact about the Racer... The two cars run on one track not two... I watched a news story on it last year... It's amazing..
You poor fools. You missed out on potato patch fries. You bought inferior fries. Your ancestors are sad about that.
Glad you love the park. It’s one of my favorite places in the world. My grandfather worked on the track for The Thunderbolt. It is a tradition that I ride it first.
It truly sucks that it’s not open in to the night. All lit up in the dark and it’s truly beautiful. The dark foliage and the topography of the park lit with old school bulbs is enchanting. Riding some of these coasters lit up in the dark is/was so cool.
We had a great day!
We had a great day!
Steel curtain shows what you can do in limited space, project exodus could take some learnings at Thorpe park. Different manufacturers of course
I wanna have a theme park day out with you 2 so badly! 😂 Enjoy the trip guys
Thank you!
Another great vlog, aww the Kangaroo ride used to be called the ski jump when the travelling fairs came to Birmingham back in the day, the only difference was the "jump" was a complete circuit but I remember the air time well!! 😂
U really should stay here in the USA since u love the parks over here
Nice to see that Kennywood is in such good condition. when I was there in 1999 the park was quite run down.
Have heard Kennywood hasn't been so great the past few years, but this VLOG made me want to get back there. It's been over a decade since I've been there.
We had a great time!
This US tour’s brilliant, great to see the variety of parks away from the usual Disney/ universal/ seaworld offering
Thank you. There’s so much out there to discover!
😃 OMG! I live 20 minutes from Kennywood. I hope my Pittsburgh Peeps treated you well, Shawn & Charlotte. ❤
It’s such a brilliant place!
Another great trip to Kennywood park with you both. Today's comical line goes to Sean 🤣😂. Thanks for entertaining us!
Love the pov you used on all rollercoasters. Another awesome vlog. 😁😁😃😀😃😄😁😄😃
Thank you!
I've always loved the lights there.
What a great place looked really good living the dream guys thankyou for sharing see you on the next one xx
Thanks for joining us!
Thanks for the vlog! I did a northeast tour a couple years ago and Kennywood was my favorite of all the parks!
It’s a beautiful park
Nemesis with the new the track is being ready to be connected. I'm already hyped 😁
It’s looking epic!
Just saw that old ride "Kenny the Kangaroo", I think there used to be one on Clacton Pier years ago.I remember riding it as a kid. I absolutely loved that ride and you said that is the only example of one left in the world. I would go to Kennywood just to ride it. Superb. They don't make them like that anymore.
Such a classic ride!
Kennywood removed it a few years ago but everyone went nuts and they brought it back lol.
Unfortunately, Phantom’s second train is somewhere… It’s being worked on somewhere, but no one knows where… And then Steel Curtain’s second train is almost ready. They had to take it apart and put it back together again. But I want to thank you for expressing your pleasure with my hometown amusement park! Pittsburghers really do take it for granted. There have been some issues in the past… We have to admit that, but it’s nice that someone who’s been around the world, and on some of the best coasters and the best parks still understands how amazing Kennywood is! In the 40 years I’ve been going I’ve never once taken it for granted. So many classic treasures and brand new innovations. Thanks for your kind words!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for another awesome vlog both!!
I am so glad that you were able to ride Steel Curtain and enjoyed it. Just like you, we missed out in 2019 because it opened the week after we were there. We went last year but the ride was down on the day that we were there. I am hoping that my boys will be able to ride it when we go next month.
It’s such a brilliant ride!
First video of yours I have seen. Loved it. Keep up the great work. Haven’t been to Kennywood since 2019. Need to get back.
wow! It was fantastic to see the Turtle ride. Had so many good rides on it at Blackpool Pleasure Beach back in the day x
Such a classic
The kangaroo ride, there was one on the travelling fair called ski jump, not sure if still operating
Ooh I am a big fan of Kennywood and I am so excited there is a lot of wooden coasters in the USA it fits the USA vibe
Kennywood is brilliant!
Looks a lovely park with some great classics. Hope to visit one day.
Love the use of the official POVs, nice bred
I love having the POV from the parks in there are we going to have this all the parks you Can’t film on ride for
Thank you! If the parks have official POV’s available then we may do this in more vlogs!
Can't wait for the Cedar Point video! I absolutely love Cedar Point! We were there in October last year and my oldest son was finally tall enough to ride the big coasters. He wouldn't ride any that go upside-down but he rode the Millennium Force 3 times! My youngest can't wait til he tall enough to ride them!
They’ll be on the way very soon!
Love the povs that u put in most times when. U can’t do on ride
Ghostwood Estate is a underrated ride imo.
Hope yall had a great time
The Kangaroo was removed along with a paratrooper ride from its original location to make way for something new. Originally they weren’t going to return it but fans rallied behind it so they brought it back in a new location.
Thanks for sharing. It’s such a classic!
