Kennywood Season Pass: Back for 2012, Kennywood Park is offering a Season Pass! Each Kennywood Season Pass is $99.99 per person and includes unlimited trips to Kennywood for the 2011 summer season (excluding Phantom Fright Nights), as well as select Bring a Buddy discount days, $10.00 discount on regular admission to Idlewild & Soak Zone or Sandcastle, and other perks. Quantities are limited so get them early!

Back for 2011 is the Kennywood Laser Spectacular, a nightly laser show over the lagoon complete with lasers, fire and music. Look for it each night 30 minutes before park close.

Shorten your time in line. Arrive early and head directly to the back of the park, working your way to the front. You'll spend less time standing in lines that way. As expected, water ride lines tend to be shorter early in the morning and late in the evening.
