It's a good time!
do *not* expect Disney or 6 Flags' Corporate look or feel.
That's not what this park is all about!
Its a great park because of its TRADITIONAL amusement park persona.
PROS:
Wooden Roller Coaster! (Jackrabbit & Thunderbolt)
Potato Patch Fries (w/ Cheese or Gravy = Nomnomnom!)
Funnel Cakes
Looking @ dumb people with Fannypacks!!!
CONS:
its an aging park, therefore a bit dirty
entrance fee is waaaaaaaaaay outa-line
("Funday Pass" which is a ride all day pass for $35.99)
They completely screwed up the Old Mill (and now its a *little* kids' ride)
3 WISHES:
1.) They'd make more "Dark Rides" (i miss the "haunted" types like Le Cachot, the Goldrush (I wonder what they did with that big Spider from the ceiling in there??) and the Original Old Mill.

2.) I wish that the Train was like it was when I was a kid! It had funny characters all through the ride. It was a funny ride and now its historic.
3.) Lower the prices a tad--Kennywood will get its money one way or another, it wouldn't kill them to make that entrance fee a bit more reasonable!!!
If you're in the area, you should check it out; it is worth the trip at least every couple of years.
TIP:
If you're an adult, go after 5!
They have what's called the "Night Rider Pass" and if you go after 5, you can get in for $20.99.
This still gives the average adult plenty of time to ride some of your faves, grab some fries and get outa there! ;)
