Went to Kennywood Saturday and this time we took the girls (ages 4 & 5) with us for their first trip ever to an amusement park. Thomas Town is sure attracting big crowds. The park again was filled with young families and the new land looks really popular. We got there at rope drop to avoid the long lines for Thomas. The girls especially liked the Fire engine ride , with working water hoses to put out the pretend fire in the middle. . We rode with the kids, and the ride, though primarily for young kids, is a blast. They also loved the helicopter, live show, and train rides but were a tad too short for the Thomas drop tower. But the STAR attraction of the day was the four level interactive play area that is adjacent to the stunning Thomas store, both of which have really good air conditioning. In the morning the girls ran and played through that attraction for a good 45 minutes. Finally we dragged them off for lunch at Johnny Rockets (Scarlet said after tasting her milkshake, "now, that's what I call a milkshake!". Sounds like a commercial idea) . Next was Kennywood's large Kiddieland that has apx. 15 rides, most of them smaller versions of actual adult rides in the park (great idea there), and a bunch of rides on Kennywoods historic, and huge, carousel. After the afternoon in Kiddie Land, they begged to go back to Thomas Town to play in the interactive area. So this time they spent a good hour running and playing at full speed. We had to drag them off. They would have stayed all night. Great idea to have this area air conditioned. And for next years expansion, and the huge air conditioned building that will contain interactive Steeler experiences for the older kids, that will be a nice trend of comfort and relief from the heat.....Thomas Town is certainly an excellent expansion. So much fun for the kids. And the cost was a really reasonable $8.6 million. No overpaid Imagineering department at Parques Reunide.
