    I remember rides called RIDEE-O and DIPSY DOODLE we rode as children in 1950's. Did not see them here; I guess they were removed years ago. We went to KW every summer, I remember sometimes a sudden shower, and we would stay dry at the covered picnic pavilion near the Jack Rabbit... waiting patiently for the rain to stop. Lots of good memories :)

    • @amusementnow4416
      @amusementnow4416  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow, amazing memories! The Dipsy Doodle was replaced by an identical ride called the Flyer that can still be ridden at Knoebels in Eastern PA. Kennywood brought a similar ride back for a few years when they built Lost Kennywood, and you can still ride another one at Idlewild. To think you visited Kennywood in the decade when rides like Laff in the Dark, Zoomerang, and the Wild Mouse were there... wow!

    Monongehela Monster was an Eyerly Deluxe model, ran from 1979 to 1989, replaced by the Swing Around. The Monster sat in numerous places around the park, including at the old Cinema 180 Dome site, until it replaced the Buck Rogers Rocketships, high atop the lagoon stage. The Monster riders had the feeling of being thrown over the lagoon, as they could not see the ground from the top of the ride.

      nootle If you think about it, it gets Kennywood a little more cash for more land and bigger rides. If littler kids want to go over 3 times, they need a parent, so the parents and kid buys season pass instead of adding a big coaster where only adults buy the season pass for. There was no space so I think it’s good that they used it for Thomas Town

      Seems like alot of people dislike the decision. I'm not from the area, born and raised in Ohio, however I do plan on taking a trip to Kennywood in the next few days and to be honest a big part of that aside from the coasters that I want to ride is the fact my 4 year old son loves Thomas. I have to think additions like that make a ton of money for the park, so if it was between this or possibly going out of business down the road then I think a compromise was best 🤷‍♂️ Trust me I'm not a fan of change either but sometimes it is what it is man, gotta learn to accept and love something for what it is- even if its long gone.
