The Turtle at Kennywood Park, West Mifflin, PA

Kennywood is a park full of classic rides and The Turtle is a rare gem in a park full of rare rides.

The Steel Phantom Roller Coaster at Kennywood Park, West Mifflin, PA

The Turtle at Kennywood is a "Tumble Bug" ride that is one of the two remaining rides of this type.

Kennywood's Tumble Bug was themed to a turtle when it was added to the park in 1927.

The Noah's Ark at Kennywood Park, West Mifflin, PA

The Turtle is almost coaster like. The cars go around a circular undulating track with electrical engines that send the cars back and forth getting faster and faster until it goes over the hills.

Once the Turtle gets up to speed and over the hills that is when The Turtle really becomes fun. You slide down the bench seating and slam into your fellow riders. There are lots of laughing coming out of the cars. In the end everyone ends up with a smile in their face.
