WEST MIFFLIN, PA — Kennywood has narrowed the list of names for its new Potato Patch-themed bumper cars to three, and now wants to know which name you find the most a-peel-ing.

The ride is getting a full makeover with 20 new cars modeled after Kennywood's signature snack. Each car will be fitted with fries, oozing cheese sauce and an oversized fork. The tasty transformation, which arrives for the 2024 season, will mark the 50th anniversary of
both the bumper cars and the fries.

Here are the choices:
