The Turtle ride at Kennywood Park, West Mifflin, PA

Here is one more reason to visit Kennywood...the Turtle ride!

The Turtle at Kennywood is the sole remaining full sized Tumble Bug ride that was designed by coaster designer Harry Traver.

The Turtle has been thrilling Kennywood guests since 1927 and it is still going strong. The ride is simple. Climb onto the back of one of the turtles where there is a circular seating area. All there is holding you in is a chain across the cars entrance and gravity.

Once the ride operator starts the ride, the train of turtles start to go back and forth until they have enough speed to make it over one of the hills along its circular course.

The Turtle picks up speed and you get sent around around over it's undulating track. While going up and over the hills you'll slide back and forth on the rides smooth metal seats sending you bumping into your fellow riders. The Turtle is not a high thrill ride but it is a high fun ride that is worthy of many rerides.
