Oo, so I'm just gonna make this quick.. I have pictures and stuff but I'm not gonna upload them until I get home next week. Overall, this is how the day went:
Jack Rabbit x 2
Racer x 1
Lil Phantom x 1 (except Snoo didn't ride because he is whack, clearly)
Thunderbolt x 2
Phantom's Revenge x 3
Exterminator x 1
Pitfall x 1
Swing Shot x 1
For being a Saturday, the waits were really good.. A few near walk-ons, and the rest were not more than 10-15 minute waits for anything, except Exterminator. As for the supposed storm we were suppose to get, we never got it.. Most we got was like, a ten minute downpour but it passed and everything opened right back up.
Jack Rabbit
I didn't expect anything from this because Marcus basically said it was going to suck and it didn't really look that good either. It didn't have much too it, but it's clearly a classic, and in the back, the airtime on the double down was nuts. It wasn't a great coaster in the front, but it was something I enjoyed when we rode in the very back.
6.5/10
Racer
A moebius coaster, and I only rode one side, but I'm totally counting it as a credit anyways. It was an okay coaster I guess, nothing special, no fantastic airtime, and just pretty meh overall haha.
5.5/10
Lil' Phantom
Probably the worst / most boring kiddie coaster but if you look at pictures of it, it's not hard to figure out why. The thing is about two feet high and one second long, but hey, it's a credit!
1/10
Thunderbolt
I was expecting quite a bit from this since it was supposedly suppose to be a very fun coaster! But to me this was reallyyy meh.. I actually prefer Jack Rabbit to this, although the turns where you kinda smash into each other are kinda neat. Either way, nothing to get super excited over IMO.. Better in the back than in the front though, definitely.
Phantom's Revenge
Didn't know what to expect from this coaster at all, as I didn't even know the layout or anything, but it was pretty great. Right on the brink of my top ten now.. It was great the first time we rode it in the back, and it actually has some fantastic pops of airtime. The second drop is fantastic as well, much better than the first, which is also good. We rode it in the front too, which was better than in the back.
8/10
Exterminator
LOL! I didn't know what to expect from this at all, and although we waited a long-ish amount of time for it, it was an awesome coaster. The trains really move you from side to side and overall it's just really good fun.. And the fact that it's indoor makes it that much better. My second favourite thing in the park, behind Phannyyy, and certainly the best indoor coaster I have been on.
7.5/10
Pitfall
It was a drop tower.. It was scary.. And it was about on par with the one at Canada's Wonderland. Nothing really amazing, but hey, it was a walkon so I can't really complain

7/10
Swing Shot
Screamin Swings are meh for me to begin with, and I'm not even a huge fan of Skyhawk, though I have heard the smaller versions of these things are better.. Which they're not, because it sucked. And the first time we were in line for it, it started to downpour.
5/10
OVERALL
I really enjoyed Kennywood.. I never thought it looked great but the atmosphere is really good, and the park, as Marcus described it, really feels like an amusement park. Nothing huge, family friendly, and just nice in general.
