 Review of Whip @ Kennywood

My favorite flat ride out of Lost Kennywood, the Whip is spectacular! It is pure fun to ride, and gets you laughing as you ride and fly around the bends. Truly a classic flat ride that you dont find as a standard at many parks today.

The Whip is something so fun, yet so simple. Youd think one of todays flat ride manufacturers would recreate it, theyd make a fortune.

Thanks, mrceagle. Yes, the Whip is a blast. It would be really neat, come to think of it, if some of these newer/bigger parks would put in "recreated" versions of this flat ride. Bring on the Zig Zag, Cedar Point! Although, theres something to be said of a true old fashioned 1920s (?) version like the one at Kennywood - I think nostalgia adds to the ride experience.

I believe the "Whip" first premiered in 1914 believe it or not.

20s is right thats when most parks but them in. this allong with the Tumble Bugs.

This one is from 1918, which probably makes it the oldest in the country, unless theres one from 1914 still working somewhere.
