Its time for this park to grow. Keep everything the way it is now, but as far as that new land use that land wisley. Fix it up. EXSPAND. Kennywood needs more thrill rides, more scary bigger roller coasters, and more food. If they do that then this park is set. But when they do this. They better not take out the thunderbolt or the phantoms revenge or jackrabbit. Those 3 roller coasters are really special.

They will make one small change after the next and when you look back ten years from now you wont even realize that the new owners have indeed changed kennywood from what it used to be.....that is how the big firms do it when they say they will "keep it the same". They never do! ^ In response to you Ed....Kennywood was never eant to be a mega-coaster park its a park that prides itself on its darkrides.....which is a rare breed now-a-days!

The new owners have said that nothing will change, but I don't believe them.

I live near it. Personally, I wouldn't mind if they "extended" the park. After going to Cedar Point, Kennywood seemed really wimpy and the rides weren't as much as a thrill. I say, keep everything the way it is now, and then extend the park with some bigger mega rides. They have technically already did this with "old kennywood." I have been to Kennywood many times.

I can only see this as a bad thing for now.. Albeit I haven’t been to the park, but Kennywood just wont be the same with new owners.

Do we know why this is happening?
