So, there are a few easter eggs within the Mill. There are orange cats hidden throughout to reference the rides past. Some of the tombstones reference removed rides.

Today is my 65th birthday I'm having an unremarkable birthday all alone. Thank you Carpetbagger for taking me with you is the amusement park in Pennsylvania. I've been homeless since 2013 and no one wants to be your friend when your homeless so it's kind of like I've got a friend in you taking me along to places I'd never get to. Thanks

Normally there should be 17 different channels of sound and music playing within the ride, it's not normally that quiet. Must have been a temporary tech issue during this visit - you can get a sense of what it normally sounds like by watching the POV video we released when the ride opened: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbN3d9F-ut6RlX0.html (Full disclosure: our company created the new version of the ride)

There are music & sound effects in the Old Mill, but it clearly wasn't working this day. The Steel Curtain coaster opened last year, but has only ran for a few weeks - it's eternally broken. In the arcade, the old machines up on the ledge used to be accessable until at least the early 2000's. They don't have staff knowledgeable enough to maintain them, so they sit on a ledge.

When I was growing unease in Pittsburgh, each school district has its own “ special day” and the schools provided ( for a small fee) school bus rides to Kennywood. Teachers sold discounted tickets in class( I think all schoolpersonnel got free tickets)! Smart, huh!

@TheSWolfe 4 жыл бұрын

My middle school (Sabraton Jr. High) band sponsored a "school bus to Kennywood" trip when I was in 7th gd. We drove up from Morgantown, WV. - missed the latenite fun tho, cuz shortly after sunset, we had to meet back at the buses & drive home. Used to drive up every summer w/family/friends when I was a kid. Never liked the Garfield ride - something about those neon cartoon scenarios, I see they've recycled some stuff from it for the new Old MIll. Their old wooden coasters are still my favorites! I miss the Logjammer but the water ride they run now is def a drencher on hot summer days. My son + a few old friends threw me a 50th bday celebration at Kennywood - great memories! Special place in my heart for this old park - long live Kennywood!

I’m from Pittsburgh, I haven’t been to Kennywood in years! My family went every year, it’s a huge part of my childhood. My mom actually found out she was pregnant with me after she rode the Racer! My dad’s nickname was the Kennywood Kid. He was older and he went there for about 70 years. My parents and I would always ride the Turtle and the train, and the Whip and the Auto Race with me in the driver’s seat were my special rides I went on with my dad. He passed away 10 years ago, and seeing the wooden tracks brought a tear to my eye. ❤️

Harold is a character from when the ride was called horrendous Harold’s haunted hideaway.

The Old Mill in the past had tons of skeletons (no blacklight ones) and they played instruments in the middle of the ride, they were even "outside" in a courtyard type of thing. One played a clarinet and it was more funny stuff from what I can remember. Excellent video and great work.
