This is such an awesome documentary, I remember taping 'Kennywood Memories' off of PBS back in the mid 90's, it's great to see how things have changed. It's also awesome how guys like Harry Henninger, Carl Hughes, and Charles J. Jaques Jr return for this after 11 years from the previous documentary. Kennywood is the best, hope it survives another 100 years.

I LOOOOVE kennywood. the Thunderbolt is REALLY rickety but its a great coaster. the steel phantom is no longer there; now it is the Phantom's Revenge. Noah's Ark is really dark & scary. The best coaster is the Racer. i rate this video 5/5

I think this video came out in 1999. It was right around the time that Leap the Dips was reopened at Lakemont.

how old is this video? must be old because the Steel phantom is now the Phantom Revenge. And at the whip, it no longer has a roof. Macro burst destroyed it.
