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!

What was previously an empty lawn behind the train station will be accessible to guests for the first time. Pictured here is the foundation for Cranky's Crane Drop, which will be the sole ride located in this space.

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

This is where construction equipment gets in and out of the lagoon while work is going on here.

Finally, let’s take a look at a few other updates around the park.

Doc Popcorn's former operator retired over the winter, and nobody took the reins from him...so what shall we see here in its place? Stay tuned...
