Top Things to Do with Your FunEx Kennywood Discount Tickets

Steel Curtain - returning this year!

The coaster's towering steel frame, which can reach a height of 220 feet, is an exciting asset to the amusement park. In two minutes, racers cover 4,000 feet of track at an average speed of 76 miles per hour. Get ready for all the inversions you will go through at high speeds (there are a total of 9)! Getting on this ride requires steel nerves, but if you are brave enough, you won't be able to stop coming back.

Spinvasion

The brand new Spinvasion places you right in the thick of things during the Siege of the 'Burgh! It's the first multi-action spin attraction in the United States, so hop aboard your spaceship and prepare for a spectacular trip. What seems like a traditional activity at first quickly escalates to thrilling parallel-to-the-ground racing. You'll be darting up and down with other pilots one minute and then rolling together in massive waves to defend the city from extraterrestrial invasion the next.

Thunderbolt

Are traditional coasters your thing? The legendary Thunderbolt won't let you down. Get on the Century Flyer, a train from the 1950s that will take you on a trip full of surprises and thrills. You'll be amazed as soon as you exit the station. Take a deep breath and prepare for more because this is just the beginning, and Thunderbolt always reserves the biggest and greatest drops and spins for last! Remember to prepare your Kennywood discount tickets to enter faster!

SwingShot

Try out weightlessness by swinging forth and backwards. This isn't your average swing set accessory. The sensation of weightlessness is caused by the ride's tremendous acceleration, which propels riders skyward at over 50 miles per hour before they abruptly change course and drop back to the ground.

Turtle

Ride the last remaining tumble bug through a landscape of hills and valleys. The Turtle has been a staple since and remains a fan favorite today. Six turtle-shaped cars surround a round track with a few hills and valleys. The Turtle is the only surviving roller coaster of its kind.
