Elephant Ride

We sat at the bench and  enjoyed watching the  ducklings before the Burritos  went for an elephant ride at Kennywood Park.

Not literaly the kind of elephant that you have in mind but this mechanical elephant ride hehehe

Kennywood Park is a  good place to go if you have kids who love thrills and excitement.

Skycoaster at Kennywood Park

Call me crazy but just by looking at this people way UP there makes me dizzy.  The Skycoaster is an attraction at Kenywood Park that  is not really a ride but a flight for those who  wants to have a thrilling  experience.  

 One to three flyers are suited in a nylon harness and then attached to the cable to pulls them, to the top of the launch tower.  

 From 180 feet above ground, riders release themselves with a parachute like ripcord...then free-fall at  approximately 75 mph!  I think, if I were one of these  people, I would be dead  when it stops hahaha.

This superman style of  attraction  will never be in my list for sure.  Just seeing how high they go  upsets my stomach lol.

Lil' Phantom

Another ride  at Kennywood that Ms. Burrito   love is the Lil' Phantom.  It is kind  of like a kiddie version of roller coaster.  The three of them   went but I  decided to just watched outside so I could take a photo.

As you can tell from the photos below,  Mr. Burrito  was with his Dad holding on for his dear life lol.  Ms. Burrito on the other hand  enjoys it a lot.

She  rode Lil's Phantom twice, I was with her on the second time.

Lil' Phantom, is a 7-foot, 2-inch tall kiddie coaster with an oval layout and a rated top speed of 15 miles-per-hour. Lil' Phantom is the perfect size to introduce young children to roller coasters.

On the other note, have you ever heard of the word Xylotomy?  According to Wikepedia, Xylotomy is the preparation of small slivers of wood for examination under a microscope, often using a microtome.  The person doing this type of  test is called Xylotomist.

Whippersnapper

The Burritos' favorite ride in Kennywood was the Whippersnapper. They came c back on this one three to four times before we left.

According to Kennywood's   website's info, Whippersnapper is a  smaller version of the large Mangles Whip found in the Lost Kennywood area of the park. The Whippersnapper was one of the first four Kiddieland rides Kennywood purchased in 1924. It is still a favorite today.
