Kennywood Questions
1) What's the oldest ride? The site says that the old mill is the second oldest (but also says that it was built in 1902 and is celebrating its 100's b-day in 2001). Is it the old mill?
2) Does someone have a pdf or jpeg of the park map?
Thanks!

To my knowledge, the Old Mill is the oldest ride in the park. The oldest building is the old carousel building, which opened with the park in 1898.

Honestly, you really don't need a map since the park is just one big circle. If you need a map when you get to the park, stop by at Guest Services and they'll give you a Xerox copy of an outline of the park.

I would compare the shape of Kennywood to a baseball diamond. Even though it's a small park, they still have a lot of rides, and I'm surprised they don't have a map posted anywhere.

I don't quite see how it compares to a baseball diamond . . .
Anyway, the park is not huge, so you can just wander around and easily hit everything. There ARE maps posted in the park. One of them I know is near the carousel. You can also pick up a (very simple) map from Guest Relations.
I'm not really worried about finding my way around. I just like to look at maps and think about the park. You know...get 'hyped' on it. Thanks!

The oldest operating ride in Kennywood is indeed the Old Mill, 100 years old this year, but the second ride installed at the park.
The first ride was a non-jumping carousel which was housed in the current carrousel food court building.

Why do I smile at people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?
