idlewild and kennywood in one day??

[caffeine_demon]

Hi,

 

As part of my east us trip, I was planning a day in kennywood, but noticing how close it is to idlewild, and the fact that they have ALTON MOUSE and a few other nice looking rides, I thought I could try and get the morning in there as well. I will be there on 12th june, so just before school hols

 

only problem is - no car, so the plan would be:

 

Get the coach or train to "latrobe" in the morning, and a taxi idlewild from there (train gets in at about 8:30, coach at 10:20), and then a taxi from idlewild to kennywood (or possible a taxi round trip - but may be pricey).

 

so - d'ya reckon they can both be done in the day? or should I just stick to kennywood - I will be there until about 10 or closing time.

Cab Fare one way between Kennywood and Idlewild is anywhere from $120 to $125 according to TaxiFareFinder.com. (http://bit.ly/HGaObA) If your old enough to rent a car, it would be doable, but otherwise just take the time to enjoy Kennywood. It's not a park that you want to rush through.

They can both be done in a day, but I would not recommend this unless you have a car. It's going to be very expensive and time consuming. Kennywood is also a park that you can easily spend the whole day at. Idlewild is an OK park, but I don't think it's worth making such a huge effort to get to.

It's also not quite as close as it seems due to lower capacity roads in the area. Distance wise it's not far, but it's a bit of a slow drive.

 

If you get a car it could probably be done, but you might burn more Kennywood time then you think.

Ok - thanks for the answers, I think had there been a public transport option, at least from "latrobe" about about 1-2ish I'd have given it a whirl - but the first coach back is at 5!!
