As construction progresses on Kennywood’s new-for-2015 4D theater, the park has announced the film that will play inside for its debut season. Ice Age: No Time for Nuts features the infamous Scrat and his quest to retrieve his beloved acorn, filled (of course) with all sorts of mishaps along the way.
The 88-seat theater is scheduled to open on Wednesday, July 29th!
KPConnection was given a chance to visit Kennywood to catch a unique glimpse of the park under a blanket of snow! Click here to check out the 65-photo album on our Facebook page. Special thanks to operations manager Marie Ruby for this opportunity!

Kennywood has posted their 2015 season calendar on their web site. Opening Day is May 2nd, 2015, and gates open at 11:00 am! A countdown to Opening Day is below for you diehard fans out there!
Phantom Fright Nights hours have changed for 2015. The park will now open at 6:00 pm rather than 7:00 pm and will close at Midnight rather than 1:00 am. We’re told this change was made was due to a law preventing Kennywood’s team members under the age of 18 from working past Midnight during the school year. This also means that on the Sunday they are open for Fright Nights, we’ll get five hours rather than four (6:00 – 11:00)!
Here’s looking forward to a great 2015 season! Is it May yet?!?!
