Kennywood Park, West Mifflin, PA

Sky Rocket's finale doesn't take you close to the ground but it has several twists and even a corkscrew before the rocket runs out of thrust.

I have to say that having seen videos and photos of Sky Rocket that I figured it would be a good ride.

It is no record breaker but Sky Rocket is insane fun.

It is a coaster that I can easily ride over and over and not get bored with.

Kennywood is not about the biggest record breaking rides.  Instead the park has always been about quality and Sky Rocket fits into the mix perfectly.  Premiere Rides built Sky Rocket in 2010 and honestly as good a ride as it is I am surprised that more parks or chains have not added one of these to their lineups.
