SwingShot
The SwingShot is an exciting and wild swing ride unlike
any other! Because the two sets of 16 seats are positioned back to back, SwingShot
offers each rider a front seat! The structure is over 60 feet tall, and its
two arms swing to a height of 90 feet. Tremendous acceleration in both directions
produces the exhilarating experience of weightlessness as riders catapult towards
the sky, quickly reverse direction, and then plummet towards the earth at speeds
in excess of 50 mph. Riders must be at least 48" tall
to ride.
AERO
360
With legs dangling, riders swing back and forth
attached to a familiar yellow symbol—the
Kennywood Arrow! The arrows swing higher and higher
with each pendulum motion, culminating in a 360
degree over the top experience. Ride more than
once because choosing a different seat results
in a different experience. Riders
must be at least 48" tall to ride.
THE COSMIC CHAOS
This is our newest ride. Riders board an unidentified flying object and face outwards for a 360 degree view of their surroundings. While traveling in a circle, the ride reaches heights of 50' and traverses a "U" shaped track. Riders must be 48" tall to ride.
THE BAYERN KURVE
The BAYERN KURVE, returned to Kennywood in 2009 after a three-year absence, is a high speed, circular ride. GUESTS sit in cars that simulate bobsleds and travel clockwise around a banked track. When the car travels across the highest point, GUESTS are at a 45-degree angle to the ground. The BAYERN KURVE was a popular ride at Kennywood in the 1970's, 80's, and 90's and remains so today. Riders must be 46" tall to ride.
MUSIK EXPRESS
The Musik Express is a fast-paced circular ride traveling a track with
numerous peaks and valleys. As the name suggests, loud music plays (& lights flash wildly!) throughout the ride. Riders
must be at least 46" tall to ride.
PITT FALL
At 251', the Pitt Fall is the tallest structure on the Kennywood skyline.
Riders slowly rise to the top of the structure with feet dangling
and heart racing. Enjoy the spectacular view while ascending because
once at the top it's a free fall straight
to the ground! Riders must be at least 48" tall to ride.
PIRATE
Another ride in Volcano Valley, the Pirate swings back and forth until
it reaches a height of 60' at a 75-degree angle giving riders a feeling
of weightlessness. Riders must be at least 39" tall to ride. Riders between 39" and 48" must ride with an adult.
SKYCOASTER®
The Skycoaster® is not really a ride; it is
a flight. One, two or three flyers are suited
in a nylon harness and then attached to a cable
that pulls them (Superman-style) to the top of
the launch tower. From 180' above ground, riders
release themselves with a parachute like ripcord...
then free-fall at approximately 75 mph! Riders
must be at least 42" tall to ride. Additional
fee required.
VOLCANO
The namesake of Volcano Valley, this ride consists of 20 swinging gondolas
traveling in a circular motion. The entire ride lifts to a 90-degree,
spinning the riders upside down. Riders must be at least 54" tall to ride.
