THANK YOU! 🙏 Kennywood and the Phantom’s Revenge both placed in the top 10 in their @10Best polls, voted by you! Kennywood climbed up to be named the eighth best theme park in the USA, and the Phantom was named the nation’s third-best roller coaster: https://t.co/aJApl10GxZ

Get ready for the return of the Aero 360! ⬇️
After a rebuild this offseason, the Aero rejoins our ride lineup with an updated control system and vibrantly repainted orange seats. We relamped all the lights on the arrows, too. Can you believe Opening Day is only nine days away???

@GS_5289 I suppose in a way, yes! 😳

Welcome back, Racer trains! 🏁
The cars are added on the same side of the tracks, which is why you see red and blue stacked here. A rare sight for sure!

[Kennywood Connection @KPConnection]

INCREDIBLE!!! 😍

⚡ An ELECTRIFYING restoration ⚡
While you're trimming the tree, we're trimming the TBolt letters! For many years, the Thunderbolt's big red letters had a white outline to help them pop. Now, the original look is coming back with the letters fully restored for the 2024 Season!

[Kennywood @Kenny_Kangaroo]

It's happening! 🐢🎨 All six Turtle turtles are undergoing a total repaint as part of the Turtle's preservation project. The world’s last tumble bug will be in top shape for its 97th birthday in 2024!

Though I've been to Fright Night at Kennywood before, I had never taken pictures...until last night. What an awesome experience. The mood in the park was perfect for the season, and there were so many fun scenes to capture. The Spin-a-vision was absolutely my favorite.

[Kennywood Connection @KPConnection]

Love it!

Every now and then I enjoy a good challenge with photography, and capturing the bright full moon against the silhouette of the Phantom's Revenge at Kennywood was just that. These may not be the cleanest moon images I've ever captured, but damn were they fun to shoot.

We are excited to open Phantom Fall Fest as scheduled this weekend. However, modifications have been made to the experience because of the ongoing power outage in select areas of the park. 🍂 https://t.co/c9HRcYMhsR
