Of the parks I've been to, I noticed Kennywood was the only one with free parking. This perhaps because it is basically in a city were other spaces are available (also because they're awesome). At places like CP, were else are you going to park!
Where else would you park at Kennywood?? Only in the shopping plaza, and they'll tow you.
The best thing, IMO, about Kennywood parking is that you can pay $5 to park up close, or park anywhere else for free. Then if you use the free further away parking, they have free shuttle busses and a free ski lift ride that drop you off right at the entrance.
This is the difference between KP, IP, Knoebel's, Lakemont, and others compared to the chains: CLASS. They care about their customers, the owners are out in the park mingling with them, and listening to their complaints.
