Kennywood's New Space-Themed Thrill Ride Touches Down At Park

WEST MIFFLIN, PA — Kennywood wasted no time unpacking its new thrill ride Spinvasion, which arrived at the park via truck on Thursday.

Park crews are unloading the unique single-rider spacecraft, its motors, and more onto the construction site. Over the next several weeks, the ride will be built from the ground up.

Park guests can watch the progress in person, starting April 22— which is opening day for the 2023 season. The ride tentatively is expected to debut over the Memorial Day weekend.

Spinvasion is described as an intergalactic multi-action spin ride. It will anchor the all-new Area
412 that will include a revamped Cosmic Chaos ride and enhanced gift shop.

Here's what daring park patrons can expect with Spinvasion, which will be set against a giant interplanetary space mural: Riders strap in to their solo manned aircraft and prepare for a
classic swing experience after takeoff.

They soon will crisscross with other pilots, and riding sideways at certain points parallel to the ground.

The experience will be enhanced by a colorful light display.
