It is located well out of the cities, but not too far away. The park is geared somewhat more for children but has quite a few rides for teens and adults. The park is owned and operated by Kennywood and their attention to quality is apparent. Much of the park and parking lot is heavily wooded and the shade is welcome on hot summer days. Idlewild is located just west of the town of Ligonier on state route 30.
Signs mark the entrance.
Turn left onto route 30 west and the park is about 3 miles ahead on the left. The Round Up , like so many other rides here is hidden in the trees Close up of Caterpillar cars. The cars fully encircle the ride. The Rollo Coaster is a junior sized wooden ride perfect for the family but still a lot of fun. It runs on the side of a hill and almost all of the ride is in the woods.
