I've been saving Kennywood for my 100th review.
Kennywood is the real deal. Not a contrived historic looking theme park. This is the model for such historic charm.
I love this park and I don't even do many of the scarier rides. They do have a lot of historic coasters for those of us who are faint of heart.
Yes, the lines can be long. But it's a theme park and the lines are less than other parks.
I go to Kennywood a couple times a year and I think most others agree with me that it is simple the standard for what a park should be.
