A new ride is coming to Kennywood in 2023 and it’s unlike anything else in the United States.
“Spinvasion” will be the centerpiece of a revamped alien themed, section of the park called “Area 412”.
The ride is described as an “intergalactic multi-action spin-ride.”
In a release, Kennywood says ”Spinvasion” “puts its daring pilots in the middle of the Battle for the ‘Burgh. Set against a giant interplanetary space mural, riders strap in to their solo manned aircraft and prepare for a classic swing experience after takeoff. Next-level fun quickly begins by crisscrossing with other pilots, flying sideways at certain points parallel to the ground.”
“Spinvasion is a first of its kind attraction, which offers our guests something they can’t get at any other park in the country,” says Kennywood General Manager Mark Pauls. “This extra-terrestrial thrill ride is the centerpiece of the all-new alien-inspired Area 412 section of the park. Featuring a massive themed ride backdrop, along with a fresh new look to the Cosmic Chaos and an improved retail shop, this is one giant leap for all Kennywood fans and Season Passholders.”
“Area 412” will also feature upgrades including a “Cosmic Gift Shop” and the recent new paint job for the “Cosmic Chaos” ride.
It’s part of the park’s multi-year enhancement project.
Kennywood celebrates its 125th season in 2023.
