kennywood!007 Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Ok guys, I know no one likes to read that much so Im not gonna put a story. Ill let the captions and pictures talk! Yay we are here!!!! Crowds are looking small and great! Ya, your first buddy! But wait Kc, has to get footage of you! Woot! Those people are happy campers! See, I told you. More people going for a ride on an awesome coaster. Then they come down. And everyone screams. Another shot of the first drop. They are about to take a 228ft drop into a revine. I just had to add a through the trees shot. After the 228ft drop they hit the turnaround. Yes, put on that second train! Next was Thunderbolt. Can't get to many pics of this. Two trains is what I like to see! After Tbolt it was time for Kennywood's '06 attraction! SWING SHOT! It is pretty high. I love taking pics from under it. This is my favorite picture I took of the ride. After an amazing time of the S&S Scream'n Swing we got Icy's!(Mine was lemon! Kc got Lemon too. Copy cat. ) Kc's camcorder which was used to take the video you'll get to see a little later on. And thats all for part 1 of 3-4 from my Kennywood Trip! More soon! -Zack
Rollerholden Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Nice TR so far Zack. You take some great pics! Very artsy . I can't wait to see the rest.

Vekoma Fan Boy Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Great PTR dude! I really wanna rid Phantizzle's Revizzle now!
Dailey Enterprizes Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 I'm glad to see that I'm not the only Kennywood dork here.
kennywood!007 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Posted August 10, 2006 No your deffinately not. But I was kinda sad cause Swing Shot was on running one side. And The ride just didn't feel the same. But other than that the park was amazing that day. Great operations, except for the Racer, the ops where extremely slow. But I saw some people taking pictures like of rides, and I couldn't help to wonder if they were enthusiests. Anyone here there that day?
Rollerholden Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 I really wanna rid Phantizzle's Revizzle now! Do you speak English? That's too bad they were only running one side of the swing, Zack
Dailey Enterprizes Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 ^^ Even with one arm working the SwingShot makes the most awesome sounds; it kind of reminds me of the big bad wolf (the actual wolf, not the BGE coaster). I always see people there taking pictures, Kennywood has got to be one of the most photographed parks. I actualy used have a website called Dailey Enterprizes that I used for all of my pictures, videos, and whatnot, but getting rid of the website wasn't my regret; it's losing all the videos that used to be mine, there is no way for me to retrieve any of them. That really made me mad at myself.
kennywood!007 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Posted August 10, 2006 Yup, Swing Shot still does make that awesome noise. You'll get to hear it in our video . But I was still depressed about the one side thing, it just didn't feel as exciting.
kennywood!007 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Posted August 10, 2006 Part #2! Enjoy part 2 cause it has some tasty food, and a little surprise with the Phantom. Next up was the almighty King Kahuna. What is the Kind Kahuna you ask? Well its a maxed out Huss Topspin! (Not as themed as TR though ) The ride is extremely fun, the only bad thing about it, its a ball basher in the begining This part gives you a thrill. Step One Start lowering without spinning. Step 2 get low(er)! Step 3 and last step. Say hello to some fountains!!!!!!! Then you flip a little. Hey PKD sold us Volcano! No....Wait....Nevermind its just an Enterprise. FALSE ALARM! Yes, I would love to ride you! But wait let me snag a quick picture of the Phantom (even though I have 10000 pics of it already!) But you're closed! I'm getting hungry though. Lets get Patatoe Patch! It looks good, smells good, and most importantly tastes good! Gotta get a cold Mountain Dew to be my fries sidekick though. I was full, and so was Kc. So we let our food diegest on the Turtle! Then rode the Phantom again! We arrived and was greeted by the Green train! Purple said hello too. Purple was a show-off *rolls eyes* CHARGE!!!!!! Puple likes to hog the camera. So after we rode the Phantom (Green Train!) we walk out the exit and make our way down the path when I relize its really quiet! Purple Train got stuck! HAHA Thats what you get for hogging the camera. (They did not get evacuated which I wanted to see happen, but they were stuck for a good 10-15 min. Then they started moving and Purple Train just took over the camera again! click....clickl....clilk...kachink! I'm freeeeeeee! Vrooooooooom! OMG! Did he just stick his toungue out at me? Then we ran to Tbolt again. Such a great classic wooden coaster! Disappearing into the supports and ending Part 2 of my Photo:TR! Lots lots more soon! -Zack
Rollerholden Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Yay for top spins! Did you get any video of it?
kennywood!007 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Posted August 10, 2006 Yup got video of King Kahuna. I think you can hear the guys making noises in it...lol I forgot to mention this: King Kahuna (In The Back Row) has mirrors that you can watch yourself during the ride! Its quite amuzing...
Rollerholden Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 ^ Haha that would be funny to see! I remember one time on VooDoo at SFMW (top spin) some girl screamed "Now I can't have babies!" It was pretty funny. I'd love to see that video by the way.
Guest Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 After talking with Jerome (KW's GM) he said that the one side of SwingShot was having mechanical issues. Hey at least the whole ride wasn't down, right? Great pics.
bigstevet07 Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 I think I need a triple bypass just looking at the potato patch. It does look pretty dang good though.
Cameron Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Nice trip report .. Kennywood is so freaking awesome, but they need to bring the back the Bayern Kurve already! Cameron.
FeelTheFORCE Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Nice PTR zack! I cant wait to see the video! This just gets me even more pumped for my visit to KW Aug. 17th!!
viking86 Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Great TR! Kennywood looks like a really nice park. Phantoms Revenge is one of very few coasters that I REALLY want to ride!
Devious Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Nice TR! we were there monday, nothing beats a 5 minute line for phantom! -Denzel "I have the t-shirt!" R.
kennywood!007 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Posted August 10, 2006 Thanks for the kind comments guys. Now sit back and enjoy part 3! No wit was time for the Aero 360. A very very popular ride at Kennywood. Just starting the ride already goes pretty high. Then gets even higher! Then almost a full rotation! Then comes the upsidedown part! The ride allows riders to get chances at going forwards and backwards. How it changes direction is it stops upsidedown for about 5 seconds, and reverses is direction of spin! After an awesome time on the Aero 360, we checked out the map. (Even though I know Kennywood off the back of my head ) Then we filmed and took pics of the Log Jammer! Splish, splash! Looks fun, is fun! Artsy photo for Mike! (waterviper) Racer........Through the trees!!!! Racer from the bridge. "Hey Kc, lets blow our quarters on this 00.50 shooting game!" Hit the barrel, HIT THE BARREL! We should hit that guy, easy target hes sleeping! "I'll shoot him!" Yay! Can't get much pics of this coaster either. But then again, theres not that much to take pics of. Cause the ride is so compact! Ya, theres a double-dip! Or double-down. What ever you wanna call it! It still provides amazing airtime. Kennywood Park, bringing people together. Why not take a picture of the Garfield's Nightmare sign?!? Yeah, they have one of those sky bungee things. Called Sky Coaster! Can you say *cough* Build-A-Bear *cough*! Thats all for part 3! Video coming next update! Later -Zack
pkdcoaster Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Really Good Photo TR! I have not been since 1999 I really need to go back What were those white box thingys on Phantoms brake run? are they magnetic brakes or just electrical boxes? Great pics thanks for sharing, JEFF
kennywood!007 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Posted August 10, 2006 ^Which picture are you looking at Jeff?
