If they can't preserve the past Kennywood has had no problem bringing
it back to life.
The "Old Kennywood" section of the park; which was built on the old parking
lot, recreates the fanciful look and classic feel of the "White City" amusement
parks that once covered the country back in the early 1900's.
With Lost Kennywood made to look and feel like a classic amusement park
it was the perfect place to put Kennywood's Whip ride. This one is
a bit larger than the others we rode while in Pennsylvania as it has sixteen
cars instead of twelve.
With this day being Kennywood's annual Italian Day huge crowds were expected
so our plan was to head to the coaster with the least capacity before the
crowds clogged the lines. That coaster is The Exterminator.
If you have ever wanted to be a rat scurrying through the sewer then this
is the ride for you.
