"We had a huge offer; we couldn't speak for a few minutes when we saw the numbers," recalled Mr. Henninger, current chairman of Kennywood Entertainment.

 

The Generation of Kennywood Owners

 

 

The company released a study last fall showing its annual economic impact on the state to be $136 million compared with $125 million from the Pittsburgh Pirates and $85 million from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

 

The article is full of interesting facts and such. I'm glad Kennywood never selled out to Six Flags.

Wow, thank goodness Kennywood didnt sell out to SF. I bet you if Six Flags were managing it, the name would be Six Flags Pennsylvania and Jack Rabbit/Racer would have been taken out for a Batman clone.

 

And now, KECO is better off than Six Flags! Besides, Six Flags would have been the death to traditional parks like Kennywood anyways.
