		Kennywood is known for having either the first or one of the first kiddie land area in an amusement park, it is great for kids (i stayed riding in it until i was too tall for everything) haha.
		My personal favorite rides in the kiddie land area were the miniture swings, they have a full size one in "Lost Kennywood" (an area of the park, used to be a parking lot, then they transformed it into an addition to the park in the mid 90's).
		Yeah, but kennywood decided to be stupid and take that out like 2 years ago and put a lame 3-D garfeild ride in its place (kids will like, I'm just venting my anger ;)We also have other really old rides, but dont get me wrong we have new ones too.

		I headed next door to Racer and got on after a wait that seemed about as long, and although only one train per side was operating, that's still up to 48 passengers per cycle.
		Kennywood is without a doubt the best-staffed park I've ever seen - there were plenty of staffers everywhere, up to five or six ride ops per coaster, and also I noticed maintenance milling around underneath the rides as they ran, inspecting the structure and underside of trains.
		Kennywood completely met my expectations, and I'm definitely going to try to be back as soon as I can.

		Like I said earlier Kennywood is a great place to walk around, who wouldn't want to spend a day walking around with views (and rides) like these
		One thing you must do is try to hand slap the other train as you pass by.
		A neat feature that was designed into this that I wish had been put into other racing coasters is that you start out on one side of the station and end up at the other side so they have to race the coasters at all times.

		In accordance with the Kennywood Law #1, I proceeded from the Jack Rabbit to the Racer.
		Anyway, as I boarded Racer, Gary handed me a ticket, which is unusual as the person standing in that location is normally supposed to collect tickets from the riders.
		Racer gave its usual competent ride, and as usual when I stuck my arm out to 'high-five' the riders in the other train, all of them looked at me like I was from...well, not from Mars, as that's right up the road...but you get the idea.
