When you think about it, nearly every single ride Kennywood has is either rare, a weird one-of-a-kind, or the only one left.
why I wanna go there lol
This is why it makes no sense to me when people complain about Steel Curtain not fitting in
So true, glad to have Kennywood as my park. While it’s not the biggest it definitely has its rightful place in the theme park world
@@melrauko I’m sure that’s what people said about Steel Phantom when that was built or even their indoor wild mouse.
The jackrabbit at kennywood was my first roller coaster
Kennywood is my home park, and it's always great hearing out of towners comment how great the coasters are. Growing up at this park has spoiled me and didn't realize how great the coasters were until I started to travel to other parks.
Really? My homepark is Canada's Wonderland and I'm really bored of it, I know people have Homepark Favourtism bias, but I think I have Homepark Negativity Bias, the only thing I think Canada's Wonderland does better than any other park is Layout, the park is so easy to navigate with no dead ends, everything is a loop and it's easy to jump from coaster to coaster to coaster, but nearly every other park I've been to has better coasters than CW
@@coastaku1954 I had hometown negative bias growing up when I was in my late teens through my 20's. I was tired of riding the same rides and wanted big faster coasters. Older I get the more I appreciate smaller parks over large ones. I never made a trip to CW since the coaster collection didn't excite me. Maybe one day I'll make it out there.
@@Astrojack83 We have 3 great B&Ms, an Arrow Suspended coaster and a Backlot Stunt Coaster... and the rest is kinda crap...
I’m sure that popcorn is good but they really need a Pittsburgh Popcorn Co place in Kennywood. Also black and yellow isn’t just Steelers colors, it’s basically the theme of the entire city.
It is indeed very good popcorn, Kennywood is my home park and I would have never tasted the Popcorn until a friend I was with purchased some. It is very buttery, flavorful, and crisp I highly recommend if you haven’t tasted it by now.
You guys really need ride the Turtle next time you're there. Since Conneaut removed their Tumble Bug, Turtle has joined the list of last surviving rides at Kennywood.
My personal record for Jack Rabbit was back in August of 2020 when I marathoned it, ending the day with 43 rides.
must've given you some sort of brain damage
If you did those all in the back row, you must have had big bruises on your legs from the seatbelt!
I’m definitely one who thinks Steel Curtain is super underrated. I freakin love it. So unique. Same goes for Sky Rocket.
Agree steel curtain is my #3 coaster overall
The only good parts of sky rocket are the drop off the midcourse and the drop off the top hat
@@Kennywood_Fanatic I like the bunny hops and inversions. And that it’s all butter smooth.
@@camdenhochgesang6554 I don't catch air on the hops and the ops always staple my lower legs
@@Kennywood_Fanatic what about the 2 inversions on the ride are they good?
Phantom’s Revenge is just pure perfection to me. I’ve ridden the original steel phantom and I preferred that one more but the revenge is still amazing! I hope Kennywood keeps it until it doesn’t work anymore 😂
"This one's a Mobius Loop, so it has to duel..."
Twisted Colossus: "Challenge Accepted"
I believe that’s considered a quasi mobius.
Morbius
I had the change to visit a few weeks ago phantom’s revenge is as awesome as it looks steel curtain is incredibly underrated the park is clean and small and has a cute old charm 10/10 park can go on about this park al day!
*all*
Pittsburghers when enthusiasts don't call Jack Rabbit's double down by its true name: the double DIP
(The rest of the double downs are still double downs, but JR is a special case)
I just love each and every thing about your channel. Don’t ever quit your job. Most UA-camrs are not this talented at what they do!!!
Just got my first visit to Kennywood over Memorial Day weekend and I loved it. As expected, Phantom's Revenge was the best ride in the park. Overall, I love the quirky charm that Kennywood has. A truly odd, yet awesome park. My only gripe though is that they had absolutely no merchandise whatsoever for Phantom's Revenge.
They have tons of merchandise. I Have collected many shirts of the now defunct rides like the log jammer or turnpike. Plus others. U went early but it's possible u didn't see all the gift shops. The one in lost Kennywood (near the exit of PR) is where I usually get my stuff.
It’s okay, we needed more purple coasters anyway.
That we do
You don’t know the difference between theme and amusement parks!!
@@ThrillCoasters305 what does that have to do with anything?
Purple is my favorite color
Wow Kennywood did a great job refreshing the park.
Just went to Kennywood for the first time yesterday, absolutely loved it. Phantoms Revenge is absolutely filthy, and every coaster was fun. Can't wait to go back.
I just rode black widow for the first time this year and it is now my second favorite ride in the park behind phantom. I went on it 3 times and even got a rain ride on it before we left.
Was just here recently. Loved the design and refurbishment!
RIP Coaster Bot blue
When Sarah mentioned the Eagles made me smile since I am a huge Eagles fan
I love these everything new videos you're doing.
I met you guys at the park when you went! You can see my Dad and my brother at 12:07 in the video. I also made a Kennywood Vlog this same day that I uploaded 2 days I ago btw. It was cool meeting you guys
Defunctland is the GOAT
You guys forgot about the scariest ride at Kennywood.. the ride home! This is my hometown park. We love it. Nice park in the middle of the ghetto.
Can’t wait to visit this park in two weeks 😍
Favorite Family-Park, grew up here and I love the new look! Yinz at Kennywood made it perfect!
And to add it’s not Steelers colors, it’s pittsburgh colors. We all use the same
I rode the Jack Rabbit which was my first coaster at age 7. Been hooked on Coasters ever since. I grew up in Pittsburgh but haven't lived there in a long time. Need to go back to "Kennywood's Open" soon...
Purple actually is my favorite color so every time a coaster is colored purple it makes me really happy because purple is so underused 🥲
Side note: can we get a video of sarah just being a whole mood? 💀💀💀
Black widow is open !!!
Bro!!!
Purples my favorite color too!!!
I always say if it’s purple it gets to move up a spot in my credit list!!!
Lolol
Love the Skyline Representation. I need a Coaster Studios Skyline review lol
I loved the Skyline shirt too! I also loved his joke about the Steelers being a baseball team. That's the way to represent Cincinnati properly.
Glad you enjoyed your time at Kennywood. It's my home park and you guys are my favorite coaster youtube channel so I'm happy to see you liked it! I'm actually at Busch Gardens Williamsburg for this week! It's my favorite park and I heard its your home park! Was hoping maybe I'd see you guys around but it looks like we swapped places 😂. Btw I agree with your sentiment on Steel Curtain that it doesnt do much. Really wish there was just one more top tier metal coaster like Phantom at KW.
Oh yeah and also I thought Pantheon was pretty "meh" on the first ride but once I loosened up a bit, put my hands up, and let myself fly it's now my #1 coaster!
I met them when they were here and yeah nice meeting you guys
So glad i met you there. Also Thunderbolt had a partial derailment the other day so it will be closed for awhile
exterminator is quite a good indoor spinning coaster glad you didn't hate it !! if you're coming on coaster con ERT come say hi at the exterminator I'll be working all night
I rode Racer fairly recently. For me, there were like, two moments of decent floater..
A pretty patties reference!?!? I thought I was the only one who loved that episode lol...
Kennywood is my home park anand I love it. My favorite aspect is the classic/odd/rare rides
I feel so validated by your complaints about Premier Rides trains. I have such a hard time feeling comfortable in their trains. It really makes some of their rides unbearable.
You should get Anthony Schwartz to ride the steel curtain
Purple is my favorite color too!
There's a ride in Ocean City, NJ at "Playland's Castaway Cove" that isn't the same and not as old but is quite similiar to "Kangaroo." Just thought it was worth pointing out, seeing as how you've been there for Galeforce (and Wild Waves) at least multiple times, it's worth a ride even though on more crowded days it can take a while due to how it's loaded (and how it could kinda use one extra person if possible to operate it). For all I know there might be many of them out there, think I'll check it out actually.
As far as Kangaroo goes, there are several ‘flying coasters’ (the generic name for this ride type) that still tour the fairgrounds in the UK. These may (or may not) have been created by different manufacturers, but they’re basically the same thing.
Defunctland episode was so good!! Hope you enjoyed the ride...
BTW secret tunnel? The last airbender reference?
We have a similar ride like the Kangaroo at german Funfairs, called Beach Jumper, its really fun 🙂
The kangaroo isn’t the only one of its type … we have a few of these travelling on the uk fair circuit !
I think they mean it’s the last one as a permanent fixture in a park as the others travel around in the fair circuit.
How do I go to theme parks all the time like you guys? I'm so jealous lol!
start uploading videos!
Yeah that was 12 year old me's dream, then after about a few months of editing videos I realized how much of a grind it was.
One day when I'm an old retired man this will be me.
Yo Reece! Cincinnatians like myself getting some love I appreciate it lol!
Awesome video! Can you make a video showing where exactly the flashpass entrances are located for the rides at Six Flags Great Adventure? Thanks!
I definitely recommend going to kennywood at night.
Are you guys going to be visiting walygator grand est in France ?? I went the year it opened, when it was the Big Bang Smurf Park. Course I don’t remember I was only a baby lol but my dad was stationed in Germany at the time.
Be there tomorrow
I appreciate the secret tunnel reference by Taylor 🤣🤣🤣🤣
In August they're open from 5-10 for only 5 hours, but do you think I could get in all the coasters in 5 hours?
Shoutout to Sarah for the “Yinz” reference 😂
14:51 She used yinz correctly! Defunctland is teaching Pittsburghese to the coster community!!!
That fire truck ride is actually super common in Europe.
Was there on July 7th and was wondering why Steel curtain was closed any one know ?
Like that you threw in a "yinz" at the end. Black Widow is open this year but was down all last year. they call the Phantom's Revenge color petrifying purple when the park put the color up for public voting.
Black Widow actually recently reopened, rode it three times yesterday
Fun Fact: The company that owns Kennywood also owns Movie Park Germany.
I’m so hyped for kennywoods Intamin giga
kennywood is my home park and i haven’t been yet this year. the purple paint is messing with my brain sm.
12:20 it ran when i went there in April.
The true racing experience is when ur riding Gemini and on the big turnarounds u high-five everyone on the other team. Also it always duels
Disagree. Every time I'm on Gemini we weren't even close to the other train. Even going up the hill we weren't close. On the Racer ur always neck and neck. And yes, u can high five in the bends too.
I went to Kennywood in early June and they let me and a friend load up one side on exterminator.
Good video, but black widow was only down for about a week. It’s back open and has been open for most of the season
Dude I have to go to Kennywood!!! How do I meet other coaster people?!
5:55 lmaooooo
Playland's Castaway Cove has something just like the Kangaroo
5:54 Taylor's taking pages out of ElToroRyan's playbook talking to animals🤣 you should've asked him to subscribe!
Great video, did you not ride thunderbolt? You showed several shots but nothing on ride or in line? Kennywood is my home park and I agree the park hasn’t looked this good in years!
We didn’t do thunderbolt this visit
Maybe next time, along with the repaint and retracking it’s running better than it has in recent years!
5:53 finally someone who isn't scared of snakes.
OMG SKYLINE CHILI IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE RESTERAUNT (pls dont judge)
Kennywood had a Bayern Curve for a long time, I think it is gone now. Are there any parks around that still have one or is it officially defunct?
I THINK Knoebels has one in storage that they just got and are going to refurb and open, but don't quote me on that
I believe there is one still in operation in the US and one in Europe.
Bayern curve is defunct along with paratrooper and volcano along with the old kangaroo ride
Knoebels refurbishing one right now.
@@pre_s_t they bought Kangaroo back, as seen in this video. And yes it’s the same one from before.
Will u ever do a skyrocket review?
@sarah GO BROWNS!
steel curtain does not pull much airtime in my opinion and when i ridden it 4times i did not feel any forces
Why is black Widow down? Thought they fixed it and was operating just a few weeks ago?
Jesus that snake jumpscared me, I hate snakes.
I grew up in Pittsburgh and even worked at Kennywood. I absolutely hate the Phantom’s new color. The green was iconic.
Thank you, I totally agree
They made a Ravens coaster
"Just looking at Sky Rocket makes me feel sick" - Reese, probably
Well Black Widow has reopened. Zamperla actually came in to look at Aero 360 and they fixed Black Widow while they were here. I was told from alot of people that it was likely done for the year. Nobody expected to reopen.
Thanks for the update. I'm making a return trip and love Zamperla Discoveries.
@@thisrollercoasterlife498 just FYI, it has alot of downtime. So there are no guarantees you will get on it.
@@HockeyGUY66871 I've already been on it earlier this season, which is why I'm surprised it was down. I do remember it having a bit of a shimmy at the beginning, but so did the one at SFMM.
@@thisrollercoasterlife498 the one at cedar point is closed a lot too.
I have been going to kennywood for my entire life and just now found out the pipes in the queue of phantom are for trash. 😅
Have you heard anything about Wonder Woman at Magic Mountain? It started testing today. I was wondering if you got any press invites or info on when it's opening.
I have not heard anything
9:42 That guy in the buckeyes shirt just trying to not be in the video.
There is an identical Racer in Blackpool Pleasure Beach. I think!
its not exactly identical, but it does share a lot of similarities, including that they both feature a mobius layout
Phantom’s Revenge and Thunderbolt are beyond stellar. IMO Steel Curtain is the 4th best coaster in the park. Very overrated. On a dead day, we rode everything in an hour.
Go birds 🦅
what happened to thunderbolt? i feel violated. wait til kenny hears about this!
Hopefully the folks that own this place do the same with Adventureland; being a corporate place doesn’t mean you remove the park’s charm!
When It shows the ride going how come we never see you on every coaster you go on? Like at every park you go to and the rides you go on how come we never see you guys?
Have you ever went to Six Flags Magic fountain
I really want to ride steel curtain but idk if I’m legally allowed to bc I’m a browns fan
Then no
Have you guys have been to the Arizona State Fair??
We have not
@@CoasterStudios they're here in October they have some good thrill rides and one fairly ok coaster
Did you guys ride thunderbolt during this trip?
We actually did not
These guys are obvious SpongeBob fans and I love it!!😆😁❤
Sarah played it VERY risky by asking everyone to say "Go Browns" while in yinzer territory and on the ride themed to the steelers.
Double dip not Double down. That is what Pittsburgh calls it.
And 5 days after this nothing at Kennywood had a shorter than 40 minute wait
