Really? My homepark is Canada's Wonderland and I'm really bored of it, I know people have Homepark Favourtism bias, but I think I have Homepark Negativity Bias, the only thing I think Canada's Wonderland does better than any other park is Layout, the park is so easy to navigate with no dead ends, everything is a loop and it's easy to jump from coaster to coaster to coaster, but nearly every other park I've been to has better coasters than CW

@@coastaku1954 I had hometown negative bias growing up when I was in my late teens through my 20's. I was tired of riding the same rides and wanted big faster coasters.

Just got my first visit to Kennywood over Memorial Day weekend and I loved it. As expected, Phantom's Revenge was the best ride in the park. Overall, I love the quirky charm that Kennywood has. A truly odd, yet awesome park. My only gripe though is that they had absolutely no merchandise whatsoever for Phantom's Revenge.

@judiplaz 2 жыл бұрын

They have tons of merchandise. I Have collected many shirts of the now defunct rides like the log jammer or turnpike. Plus others. U went early but it's possible u didn't see all the gift shops. The one in lost Kennywood (near the exit of PR) is where I usually get my stuff.

@oneandonlysound3453 2 жыл бұрын

There's a ride in Ocean City, NJ at "Playland's Castaway Cove" that isn't the same and not as old but is quite similiar to "Kangaroo." Just thought it was worth pointing out, seeing as how you've been there for Galeforce (and Wild Waves) at least multiple times, it's worth a ride even though on more crowded days it can take a while due to how it's loaded (and how it could kinda use one extra person if possible to operate it). For all I know there might be many of them out there, think I'll check it out actually.

@GbHandlebar 2 жыл бұрын

As far as Kangaroo goes, there are several ‘flying coasters’ (the generic name for this ride type) that still tour the fairgrounds in the UK. These may (or may not) have been created by different manufacturers, but they’re basically the same thing.
