kennywood!007 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 So today, May 2nd, me, Katie (Coastin Katie), and Dave (CoasterExpert13) went over to Kennywood park for their new flat ride(s) media day. Cosmic Chaos: A Zamperla Mega Disko. 50ft high, traveling at speeds of 45 mph! Great ride 10/10 SS Kenny: A Zamperla Rock-N-Tug, very children friendly, although it appears to be a wild little ride, it's very calm and smooth! And it fits all ages! Pictures! Exit sign to finish this Photo TR! Turnpike on the way out. Backside of Cosmic Chaos. Wipeout. Volcano, re-painted. Forget to mention earlier, but King Kahuna (Top Spin) was re-painted too. And Pittfall! Is there some Captin in you? Pirate Arggggh! Musik Express REFURBISHED! LOL Katie, your awesome! More awesome angles. Mmmmm, tasty angle. Swing Shot being worked on. Phantom's signature shot. Pittsburgh Plunge.....waterless. This is one of my favorites I took also! I love this shot. EXCLUSIVE Phantom's Revenge photo. The gate was open! Phantom's Revenge....Over the waterfall!!!111!!!ONE!!!1! PATCH FRIIIIIIIIES!!! Phantom's Revenge and T-Bolt looking mighty fiiiine! Two awesome rides! Noah's Ark. Then Mary Lou (Public Relations Director) told me, Kaite, and Dave could walk the park to get some photos, as long as we didn't hop on any rides! Very cool if you ask me! Down to the Cafe to preview the new KennyTV or KTube. Heres a close up to show you the design of the disk. Back over to Cosmic Chaos! Wooo go Kenny! Dave owned. lol (See Coastin Katies PTR for my try at the game.) It was a very close shot! Seems he's been practicing. lol Jerome the general manager of the park shows us the new game! AROUND THE WORLD. Lil' Phantom. We should've had some ERT on this puppy! After about 2 times back and forth he asked them to hit the emergancy stop because he was done. lol Local news personal Sheldon Ingram tests the new ride. Because he wouldn't get on Cosmic Chaos at all. lol Spinning....wiiiii! Heres the boat a little closer up. Kenny is showing off his new ride. Higher! We got two cycles on ride, then headed over to SS Kenny! Crazy feeling at the top. Whats that in sky!?! Why it's a UFO! Woo! Test time, they ran about two empty cycles before letting us ride. The new alien gift shop. Awesome sign! The sign, and the ride. Alien music and sounds were also present! Alien theming. Very cool! Its Cosmic Chaos!!! Whats that peaking through the trees!!

CP_RULES Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I live that shot where PR looks like it just ends after the tree. Cool photos, I like the UFO ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N'at Man Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Nice Photo TR. I saw the report on WTAE with Sheldon Ingram riding the Rockin' Tug. It looks like Cosmic Chaos opens up a new midway. The new gift shop looks a bit goofy though. But the Rockin' Tug looks sharp with the life preservers on the side. It is a shame that they removed the classic games building to put in the basketball game. I saw this game at KD and while I think it's entertaining it looks terrible in the middle of the midway in front of the Auto Ride. This is Kennywood Park not Rucker Park. I'll be curious to see how the television thing goes. I'm not sure I fully understand it. I see my company slapped its name on the flat screens for advertising.

IceDragon Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Great TR! Looked like good fun! Doesn't anybody else think the Disk'os are so much agony? Or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo210 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hey Zack, that was a great PTR! I'm glad you have fun with multiple TPR members and took those amazing shots of the Revenge! Also, Pittfall looks sexy with its new paint job! -Stephen "The best part was when the news reporter freaked out!" M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
