Aero 360 ( 2000 ) | Zamperla | Hawk 48 | This ride is a modern , open-air version of the park 's old Ranger ride and features the Kennywood arrows on the rotating arms . Seated on inverted seats with legs freely dangling , riders swing back and forth - higher and higher with each pendulum motion . As momentum builds , the ride culminates by spinning riders the full 360 degrees | Auto Race ( 1930 ) | Traver Engineering | Auto Train | Also known by several veterans as the Auto Ride , this ride is the last of its kind and was designed by Harry Traver of the Traver Engineering Company . Electric cars run through a trough-like wooden track that twists and turns . When the ride opened in 1930 , it had several small hills placed in the track , but these were soon removed to avoid rear-end collisions that were caused when cars could not get up and over them on rainy days . Again to avoid rear-end collisions , the ride was fully computer automated and the cars slowed down for the 2014 season | Bayern Kurve ( 2009 ) | Anton Schwarzkopf | Bayern Kurve | Riders sit in one of the sixteen cars that travel at a high-speed around a circular , single-hilled track . Riders start in an upright position and as the cars pick up speed , they tilt inward toward the center of the ride . This ride is also known for its loud air horn which , along with the sound of the moving vehicles , is reminiscent of a diesel train . A popular ride since 1971 , this is the third Bayern Kurve that the park has installed | Black Widow ( 2012 ) | Zamperla | Giant Discovery | The ride seats 40 people and swings riders back and forth like a pendulum , reaching speeds up to 68 mph . The ride structure stands at 90 ft and at the peak of the pendulum 's swing height riders will hang 146 ft off the ground . The ride replaced the Pittfall drop tower ride | Cosmic Chaos ( 2007 ) | Zamperla | Mega Disk ' O | The ride seats 24 people on a giant disk . Riders sit upon motorcycle-like pedestal seats with back restraints . Arms and legs are free from restraint and the passenger faces outward . To a top height of 50 ft , the disk begins its untamed flight along the 120 ft concave track while its passengers spin around in circle | Gran Prix ( 1973 ) | Reverchon | Bumper Cars | The ride was added as a replacement for the Scooters bumper car ride and eliminated the need for a center divider and one way traffic . It runs 40 two-passenger cars , one of which , # 31 , is painted black and gold in honor of Mike Logan of the Pittsburgh Steelers football team , who mentioned the park after the Steelers won Super Bowl XL . It is one of four rides at Kennywood with a ride start/stop bell and its bell was actually salvaged from the Scooters building . Riders steer their cars in any direction across the metal rectangular floor bumping other cars out of their way | Kangaroo ( 1962 ) | John Norman Bartlett | Flying Coaster | The last ride of its kind ; purchased in 1962 . During the ride , eight cars travel a circular track with a single steep hill . After bouncing off the top of the hill , the cars then make a slow descent in midair back down to the track , giving each guest the sensation of flying . Its resemblance of a Kangaroo 's leap is what inspired its name | Merry Go Round ( 1927 ) | William H. Dentzel | Carousel | Referred to simply as the carousel by many , the Merry Go Round is a Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmark and is Kennywood 's third and largest carousel . Originally commissioned by the U.S. Government for the 1926 Philadelphia Sesqui-Centennial Exposition , it was not completed in time and was purchased by Kennywood . It is also the last carousel that was ever built by William Dentzel . There are 50 jumping and 14 stationary horses . The only two non-horse animals featured on the ride are the tiger and the lion . It is one of four rides at Kennywood with a ride start/stop bell that dates back to the origin of the ride and features over 1500 lights . Music is provided by a 1916 Wurlitzer style # 153 Military Band Organ , which is the oldest of its kind in existence , and possibly the first of more than 140 style # 153 organs built between 1916 and 1936 . During Phantom Fright Nights , the carousel is filled with fog and various figures are placed on the outer row of animals . During Holiday Lights , the carousel is decorated in wreaths and garland , with red and green lights , and Christmas music playing on the band organ
