2018 Construction Updates

If you visit Kennywood this season, you’ll see that construction is the big story and will likely continue to be for roughly the next year. Thomas Town, announced back in February, is currently under construction with a planned mid-summer opening. There is also some mystery construction occurring at the former Log Jammer site as well as in the nearby lagoon where what appear to be possible coaster footers have appeared! We’ll keep tabs on that project in the upcoming months and post any developments here!

For now, let’s take a look at Thomas Town construction which seems to be speeding along!

One of the Gimbels Flyer engines, presumably the one that will remain unmodified this year, was hiding way down at the far end of the ride.

Next, we’ll move on to the former Log Jammer site to see what interesting things are occurring over there!

It will be interesting to see what photos and gifts you’ll get here in the future...
