Spinvasion: Taking Flight in 2023

The all-new Spinvasion puts you in the middle of the Battle for the ‘Burgh! Board your spacecraft for a thrilling flight on the first multi-action spin ride of its kind in the United States. What starts as a classic experience turns into next-level fun as you race parallel to the ground! One moment you crisscross up and down with other pilots, and the next you’re all rolling together in giant waves to defend the city from alien invaders. 

Area 412

This new base is where earthlings and friendly extra-terrestrials from planets near and far will prepare for an exciting aerial battle with the evil Crab Bots! Before taking to the skies on Spinvasion, complete your flight training with the cotton candy-loving aliens at Cosmic Chaos and equip yourself with the latest intergalactic apparel at the Area 412 Gift Ship. It’s one out-of-this-world experience after another!

New Events and Experiences All Year Long

2023 brings a jam-packed schedule of events, both new and old! The party begins in April with our 125th Celebration Weekends, where we'll be celebrating everything that makes Kennywood, Kennywood! There will be special activities, photo ops, and nostalgic food, drinks and merchandise.

And of course, the season concludes with Phantom Fall Fest and Holiday Lights!
