Great mobius coaster, one of only three in the world and the first mobius ever built. (mobius means one continuous track) From its classic unchanged look to the smell of an old coaster this is one of the greats for a true coaster lover. I agree with what others have been saying about a great handslapping competition between friends and family on the blue and red sides. Kennywood is a MUST visit on any enthusiasts list!

Kinda short, not much air, but a helluva a lot of fun! When this ride gets competing, people get excited. I only won once, however. I had great fun switching between this and the Jack Rabbit at the dwindling minutes before closing!

One of the truely great old coasters dating back to 1926! This ride is pure fast fun! Not thrilling compared to todays standards, but back in its day, this was the way it was! Lots of fun! The non-traditional red paint job also adds to the "flavor" of the ride. Definitely check it out- hard to resist the temptation to run off the exit ramp and get right back in line!!!!

I love this park. Its so quaint and traditional. This ride is yet another traditional ride. Its a dueling woodie that has some good drops and great airtime. The best part of the ride is when you can touch hands with the people from the other train.

This is an awesome classic wooden racer. The structure was a piece af art. It makes you feel like youve stepped back in time. As the cars pass over the station, the building shakes and adds a sense of danger to the coaster. The track is exciting and racing another car makes it more fun. You get to choose which side you are on. Our family split up, the girls went on one side and the boys went on the other , we had a wild race. this was one of my best coaster experiences ever. The Racer is my favorite family coaster.

This racing coaster stands out from others because of its Mobius track design… meaning that it is one track that wraps around twice, not two separate circuits. If you start on the right side, you wind up on the left, and vice versa. The front seats of this coaster can be pretty tame, but the back seats, while not the most thrilling ride around, certainly is a fun ride. It has the illusion of speed through out its course and also has some moments of air. Add onto this the visuals of the racing train speeding along next to you only a few feet away and you have a very fun ride.
