[TiffanyTeddyTune44]

[starlolable]

eyyyyyyy im going to kennywood tomarrow wit my bff

[mdhalas]

its sort of weird finding a video of yourself on youtube that was shot by strangers. i'm the jerk in the green shirt with mpb sitting right in front of the person taping, my gf is sitting next to me and my brother and sister are in the other train, look for the guy with the mohawk. thanks for documenting an excellent time at kennywood.

[sportsygirl8]

@mdhalas Hey, I saw you, not too hard to find...lol. i'm going to Kennywood I think on the 15th, but then again it might be next month that we will be going. Better be the 15th.

[cpg0519]

The second best ride at Kennywood, but the only thing that sucks isit seems like people don't know you can slap hands on this coaster.

[rebblerocker07]

I sat up front on one of the coasters once. Didn't scream at all. But our racer lost. ):

[ParodyOfDeath]

lol I notice that there's two people in this first page of comments with a Warriors name. XD

[zgsproductions1]

i always know which one is going to win the race because if you are in line and facing the trains in the station it's always the train on the right side, always.

[TheSyncopator]

@zgsproductions1 Not true. I work there.

[Esme4471]

2 thumbs up if ur going to kennywood 2morrow! I know I am!

[genesys56789]

i love this ride i remember me and my dad racing and beating my to brothers

[genesys56789]

i love this ride i remember me and my dad racing and beating my to brothers

[carlyqqq]

taryn you are the only one that i would know to take a video while riding the racer lol.

[yellowfang98]

I found a pattern, if ur in 1st during the beginning, ull probably lose unless the other train pulls ahead 4 like, a long time, then ur train will win.

[11linklover]

Plus, i love the sign when ur going up the hill

[Shadowclaw27]

@11linklover

You know why they have that there? So no other person gets their head cut off again. (no lie, my aunt was there)

[11linklover]

i always ALWAYS get in the red one, its closet to hot pink

[xxWebkinsxx]

i <3 this ride!!!

[sportsygirl8]

I got sick on this ride 10 years ago and trust you don't wanna hear the story. I will tell you all anyway. My dad forced me on this ride and my dad told me it was a kiddy coaster and there is nothing to it, well I got on it and right after the first drop I felt so sick and then when I got off the ride I threw up right in the water neer the paddle boats and then that was the last time I rode that ride again and any roller coaster until this year I got on Skyliner at Lakemont Park.

[brittanybug10]

Oh EW

[lavignefan01]

which track always wins? because all my life it was the side with the spare cars but i went last week and it was the other track. do i not remeber right or did they switch who wins?

[IalexxaI]

the one on the left always wins my friend said and i think hes right cuz we rode it alot and it seemed the left car always won

[SmashBrosFan19]

Generally the left track(starting out) wins, because it has 2 inside curves and the right has 1. But sometimes the operators start the trains at different times. If you look while going up the hill usually the one to the left side has a head start. So the winner is never one track because the operators balance things out.

[sto7714]

@IalexxaI oh ya? that's a good reason....

[KelMovies]

Red!!! I dont know why. Me and my friend made a bet witch one always wins and red 1 every time

[rebelpower14]

nothing compared to cedar point

[motownisretarded]

80 year wooden rollar coaster sounds really safe jk, i love kenny wood, and the phantum! charleroi day for kennywood is in 2 days :)

[therealnfsracer]

Ok coaster

[farc300]

Its a good racer (one of the best), but the coaster itself isnt very good.  fun for little kids though.

[Falloutboyfan251]

yay! kennywood! kennywood is like 10 minutes away from my house. :D & i have a sandcastle pass and that means after 5:00 we can get in for free! :) i love k-wood

[Alaona]

any 1 can get on dat

[FutureMrsNickJJonas1]

thisa is sooooo fun =) i rode it on the 2nd of june =)

[14watssama]

wait the coasters never chaged places and it always does maybe i missed something

[scottiebobson]

The trains switch sides right after they leave the station. When they're loading at the station in the video above, they are on the left side, but right after they leave the station and go through that little curve before the lift hill, they are on the right side. The design is very elusive. This is the only single-track racing coaster in North America.

[14watssama]

Hershey park has a ride called lighting racer im not sure if it is one track or not

[lavignefan01]

ive been going on that coaster all my life and still cant figure out exactly where they switch.

[tangsoopap]

They don't switch. It's one track that doubles over the same route.

[cavs010]

I rode this on may 9th!!! My friend and I went on it. We were on the blue one near the back of the train. We lost to the green one by a car and a half!! It was my 2nd coaster. The first one was the Jack Rabbit.

[maggottothedeath]

gotta ride red

[dannny676767]

gotta go on the train to the right, always wins

[pappy15445]

I have to get back there this year--I love kennywood's coasters

[shwam29]

i always win cuz blue wins every time.

[stifler0099]

it switches every time

when you enter the part to get on the coaster the right one always wins

watch when in waitning in line youll see what im talking about

[xxWebkinsxx]

blue doesnt win every time :)

[jacko39]

fun coaster.

[Death18s]

top 5 things to do on this ride

5.raise hands on hills

4.laugh when you pass other car

3.slap hands with friends on the other car

2.flick poeple in the other car off

and the number 1 best thing to do is swear at the other care as you pass/get passed by them

[poopcritic]

5, 4 and 3 are in good fun 2 and 1 are just bad

[catine09]

do a history on kennywood, my friend at work is 73, almost 74, they used to go when She was young, very young. she almost fell off this ride. this ride, threw an entire train of cars off and killed everyone on it one time. over the years, not just the past couple of years, but in general, you need to check how many accidents this park has had. how many suits, and the sure unsafety of this park.

[pyschopath4]

thats what makes it fun

[slickss85]

this park isn't anymore dangerous then any other, i have heard about the accident on the racer, and a few people died a few years ago on the "whip" when a tornado came threw and knocked the roof down

[GazeHime]

well, it was a microburst that brought it down and i think it was only one woman who died. she went back to get her purse when it fell on her. you are right though :)

[TruePatriotLove05]

Hmmm that's funny, I did research on that story and an entire train of passengers NEVER died on the racers.

[radestloser]

OMG I loved this!

I can't wait. I go in two days!

[jobrozrock]

i remeber this rollercoaster dude my eyes were PEELED open at the end i can't wait till i go tomorrow!

[PWNAGE11]

i love kennywood and pittsburgh

[billybobjoebob123]

this was my first roller coaster and i was practically cryin cos my dad made me go on...i still dont like roller coasters...

[hymnsinger5]

Everyone's like "You cheated" and it's like "We don't even control the coaster!"

[ttpad07]

i love the racers! :]

and here's a hint: the one this person's on wins, no matter what. like on the left side. but it changes colors everytime to throw you off.

[preds48]

lol, that's not true ;)

[iluvcrosbyandstaal]

kennywood is so osm

[Alaina395]

i love this ride cause the line goes faster cause there are two carts!

P.S GO GREEN!!! :)

[xOx29mjmj94xOx]

lol im excited i found out the trick of the track!! now i get how they switch haha

[HIME424]

How do they switch.. i could never figure that out.. can yoo please tell me!

[AstroDroidR4O2]

When the trains dispatch, they turn away from each other. They have already "switched" by the time they reach the lift hill, and they stay next to each other for the entire ride.

[AshleyMarie100004]

i cant wait till kennywood openss!

[jimbo4222]

That lady in the first red car, 3 seats back. She just has her arm stretched across the car. No big deal to her.

[wickedlyangelic76]

omg! i love that ride! too bad the line is long!

[joshbgosh10592]

even though it looks long, it goes so fast. the line could be out of the bars, and it will take a max of 15 min.

[sweetiesis]

this ride happens to be one of my faves!

[NATALiE0152]
