K'Wood's Phantom Revenge during ACE's Fall bash in October - rode Sky Rocket 5Xs before that (sorry about the ACE plug

I donh't understand why Cedar Fair doesn't have some kind of fast pass unless you are crippled or pay a horrible VIP pass. We were lucky to arrive at 6 Flags NJ (whatever its name is) about and hour and a half before it closed and rode El Toro 11 ELEVEN times and only having to change seats about 2 times. We would've gone home after that, if we didn't live in Pittsbugh! Have used their flash passes, and definitely get the season passes with parking. I don't get a Kennywood season pass since I am over 55, and it is amazingly cheap after 5:00. It also helps to belong to ACE, who had a wonderful ERT on K'Wood's new coaster in October before the park opened for their Fright Nights. My partner commented that they all looked like characters from the comic strip "The Far Side", but the TPR gang I am sure could be compared to some other comic strip - will let you decide.

Those 5 times on K'Wood's Sky Rocket (hate that name) was at an ACEers event!!!! - sorry - got to keep all options open, but we wore TPR charter member t-shirts! Does that mean you will at least use some lube?

Try living with Kennywood's new coaster by the name of Sky Rocket! - sounds like something from the 60s, and there wasn't even a contest to name it! Great coaster though. http://www.kennywood.com/attractions/NEWfor2010.php and it could it in a lot of people's back yards!

I forgot to mention: Munich is like that year around, even without the Oktoberfest - one of my favorite cities in the world.

What is amazing it that all that you saw is totally dismantled and hauled away. A month later it is just a meadow and mud. I don't know where all the rides and tents go, but they are not on that site. BTW - Pittsburgh now has a branch of the Hofbrauhaus. Not a far ride from Kennywood, but bes that you go to the HBH after K'wood - it's a dry park
