The disko counts a credit! Its very similar to survivor, witht he bunny hop. I can't wait to get on this, I've wanted to ride one since Survivor. The kiddie ride is a Rockin' Tug..Anyone know what that is? I can hopefully get some construction pics, not sure though.

Youll count a disko as a credit? You're such a whore Zack! As for the Rockin' Tug, I believe thats something similar to this: Anyways, sounds like some cool additions to Kennywood! Then again, I cant wait until they build a new coaster, cause that'd be a pretty good reason for me to get over to the park.

^Yes, that's a Rock 'n' Tug. They're actually pretty fun, I rode one at SFGAdv. Of course, they don't count as credits *sob* These look like some decent additions to Kennywood, I think they needed something new. Of course, this is just adding up to the big expansion in a few years (2008 is it?) I also count the Disk-O as a credit, considering that once it reaches it's maximum height above the ground it does traverse the bunny hop using gravity. It's the same thing as counting a boomerang as a credit, just with a bunny hill instead of loops!

I wonder if the disko will be themed...

Oh yeah, well I bet in line for YOUR disko, you won't be able to spray mist on the riders in line by stomping on the ground!

Cool. Two new rides. I've never been on either one of those. Are they fun?

^A little uncomfortable, but they are a little fun. I like when it goes over the edge. It scares the crap out of you, because your seat actually hangs OVER the end of the track.

That sounds so fun! I've always wanted to go to Kennywood.

At SFGAm, we have Jester's Wild Ride, which is our themed version of a Rockin' Tug. Most people who I've talked to, including little kids found the ride to be boring. So I don't know how popular the Rockin' Tug at Kennywood will be, but it's not very popular at SFGAm.

I wonder if the disko will be themed... Well it all depends on where the ride will be located. If its in Volcano Valley, it will be themed most likely. But if its anywhere else, probably just normal old disk-o. But the Magic Carpet was right outside of Volcano Valley, facing away from it. Im guessing their gonna face it towards the Valley and theme it jungle type like the other rides located there.

Another jungle-themed disko... cool.

Well, its more island themed than jungle. Like volcano, island, beach, you know stuff like that. Tropical you could call it. Bamboo, ok you get the point.

Haha, is it still a credit? (Does RCDB count it? That's what I go by)
