Founded in 1898 as a small trolley park near Pittsburgh, Kennywood
was begun by the Monongahela Street Railway Company, which
was controlled by Andrew Mellon. Today's Kennywood still contains
two major buildings dating from 1898 -- a carousel pavilion
and a restaurant (originally the Casino). Over the years,
Kennywood added various thrill rides and attractions to keep
park visitors coming through the turnstiles. The park now
operates several great coasters, including the Phantom's Revenge
and classic wooden coasters like the Jack Rabbit and the Racer.
