Guests can expect safety signage and pathway markers to remind of social distancing, required facial coverings, and sanitizing stations throughout the park.

While Kennywood regains some sense of normalcy in 2021, safety and cleanliness remain essential to protecting Guests and Team Members against COVID-19.
KENNYWOOD CHAPERONE POLICY PATCH
All that and of course, Potato Patch fries! Kennywood’s three indoor restaurants, End Zone Café, Johnny Rockets and Parkside Café, reopen after remaining closed last summer.

Millie’s Hometown Ice Cream will take over the Dipper ice cream stand, featuring a Kennywood-exclusive Eat’n Park Smiley Cookie ® Lemon Custard flavor. While Bites & Pints is the headliner, visitors don’t need to wait until June to enjoy new and returning favorites. “Chef Pekarcik developed a dynamic menu celebrating cuisines of various cultures that will pair perfectly with a day of fun.” “With Bites and Pints, Kennywood thrills are no longer limited to riding – they’re coming for your taste buds too!” says Pauls. Collaborating with renowned regional Chef Brian Pekarcik, guests can sample different dishes paired with specialty drinks and live entertainment on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in June.

Winners of last year’s 100 Years, 100 Memories contest honoring the iconic ride will take the first spin to mark the start of the season. Opening Day will begin with a centennial celebration 101 years in the making: a ceremonial first ride on the legendary Jack Rabbit roller coaster, the fifth-oldest operating coaster in the world. 120 years since its dimly lit channel first floated wooden boats through to witness not-too-spooky scenes, riders will find the Old Mill is now more closely themed to the historic stylings of Kennywood’s oldest operating ride. They’ll be joined by The Old Mill, which was reborn last season after a 17-year nightmare.
KENNYWOOD CHAPERONE POLICY FULL
The first full season after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic features the return of favorites missed in 2020, from the record-setting Steel Curtain (2019’s Best New Roller Coaster) to attractions like the Gran Prix, Black Widow and Raging Rapids reopening this summer. “The 2021 season offers a lot to be excited about, and we’ll keep the safety of our Guests and Team Members as top priority as we welcome everyone back to the park.” “We can’t wait to begin a new year that brings us closer to the typical Kennywood experience,” says Mark Pauls, General Manager. These sounds were solely missed during May and June 2020 that will, thankfully, burst back into our lives starting Saturday, May 8, when America’s Most Thrilling Historic Landmark begins its 123 rd season of fun.
