Kennywood Finally Set To Disclose New Ride Details
Months of mystery are about to end as the West Mifflin amusement park will reveal what's going in the Log Jammer space.
PITTSBURGH, PA - After months of rumors and speculation, Kennywood finally is set to disclose what its mysterious new ride will be.
Kennywood officials have scheduled a news conference Thursday for the big reveal on the project mysteriously dubbed Project 412 that will debut in 2019. There is strong sentiment that the new attraction will be a mega-sized coaster that will utilize the lagoon, the vacant space formerly occupied by the Log Jammer water ride that was retired last year, and possibly some of the property located behind that space and the Racer that currently is used for storage.
Kennywood has promised that the ride designer will be on hand for the project’s official groundbreaking ceremony to take place after the news conference.
