Lost Kennywood was added to what once was Kennywood's parking lot
as a homage to classic parks from the early 1900's. Many of those
parks had a Shoot the Chutes ride that splashed down into the parks
central lagoon. Kennywood smartly added a modern version of those
classic rides as the centerpiece of Lost Kennywood.
As with all Shoot the Chutes rides, the Pittsburgh Plunge takes a large
boat of park guests up before sending them plunging down into a large
body of water creating a massive wave that soaks everything and everyone
near it.
As you can see Bond and Travis got thoroughly soaked on the Pittsburgh
Plunge.
As with most rides of this kind you get the wettest not on the ride, but
by standing near the splashdown.
As you can see here the boys got completely soaked by the wave from the
Pittsburgh Plunge.
