Kennywood embraces digital media

Posted | Contributed by GregLeg

By offering such features as park-related ring tones and a video-related feature called K-Clips on the park's website, and KTV -- an in-park system using LCD TVs, the park is looking to stay relevant for the modern generation.

As long as this doesn't destroy the charm of the park (which is a large part of why I want to go there this summer), I'm all for it. Be aware of your history, but don't be afraid of the future.

It will be no worse than the TV monitors found in queue lines at other parks, possibly even better since it will be interactive and with HDTV quality.

I guess "interactive" means text messaging from your cell phone...

In any case, from the renderings I saw (at CoasterBash), it looks like Kennywood is doing as they always do, integrating the new with the old so seamlessly that you might not even realize that it's new!

the ktv system is going to be tied into existing queue line t.v.'s (garfields nightmare and the exterminator) also there will be a main t.v. in the midway replacing the kennyville stage the t.v. there is suppost to be 6-8 feet tall so its a cool concept however you dont have a stage at all in the park now.
