 THRILL RIDES



Built By: Zierer
Opened: 1984

A whirling dervish of a ride is the Bavarian Wave Swinger, which lifts its passengers high above the midway.

Riders are hung upside down over several times in one direction then a two second break at the top, followed by more upside action.
 



Built By: Mack, GmbH & Co.

The layout of the ride is similar to the Turtle. Although the Musik Express provides a very fast ride that enables you to crush your partner while listening to music.

Bumper cars have been at Kennywood for decades. Although the cars and building haven't always been the same, the fun still has remained, bumping into your friends and family.

New for the 2003 and apart of Volcano Valley, the King Kahuna flips and rocks riders in every direction.

During the ride, riders sit in one of the sixteen bobsled-themed cars that travel at a high-speed around a circular track. Riders start in an upright position and as the cars pick up speed, they tilt inward toward the center of the ride.



Built By: Zamperla
Opened: 2007

The ride, called MEGA DISK’O by its manufacture Zamperla, Inc. seats 24 people on a giant disk, a.k.a., the UFO.  From a top height of 50’ the space ship begins its untamed flight along the 120’ concave track while its passengers spin around in circle.  The result?  An experience that offers guests an “out of this world” experience!
