I have a declaration to make. The Big Dipper is the coolest
drink stand ever. This thing just screams the 1930's and I love it.
The longest line of the day was in the evening when all of us fellow American
Coaster Enthusiast gathered at one of Kennywood's picnic pavilions for dinner.
The line wasn't long because the amount of people but everyone is having
a good time chatting with old and new friends and no one is in a rush for
anything because we are having such a good time.
On my previous trips to Kennywood they were always quick trips to the park
where I was unable to spend the entire day at the park to see all the lights
come on as twilight hits.
As with other parks that date back to the early days of electricity lights
were magical and new.
At places like Kennywood lights were added for practical reasons but they
were mostly added to make the park feel magical in order to keep guests
long into the summer nights.
