Invertalon Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Made our trip to Kennywood for their second annual Holiday Lights. This year, they expanded to include a holiday version of the Ghostly Estate and the Turtle among a few other things. Looked even better than last year! We arrived right at open and were able to ride everything we wanted in the first hour or so before it just got insane crowd wise. The mid-50's temps brought everybody in today. Fed the goats/llamas/sheep when it start getting busy and then grabbed the camera for the remainder of the night and just enjoyed the sights. I loved the train exhibit they had this year (we missed it last year). Was amazing the amount of detail! We hope they continue to expand this event to include even more of the park and the rides. Phantom would be a great addition when it is not below freezing... Here are some photos from the night... Click for higher resolution.

Taylor Finn Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Never really realized this event was so well done. Always heard advertisements for it, but it looks like it'd be a blast, really. Should try to check it out this year when I go on Christmas break. Could be a lot of fun. Great TR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invertalon Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 It is really well done! We were quite surprised last year when we went because we were not expecting it to be as nice as it was, especially since it was the first time they had done it. We generally always went to the Hershey event around Thanksgiving and my girlfriend and I both agree that we may prefer Kennywood. We need to get back to Hershey though to see it again though as it has been two or three years. But we do like that Kennywood is much closer! I would highly recommend it! We are planning to go back in a few weeks and hope it will be a little less busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
