In Lost Kennywood Tuesday Night
Here’s the short video of the ride
One of Prema’s favorite rides.
“The German-built Wave Swinger is one of the most beautiful rides in the park, especially at night! Its 48 swings suspend guests while the ride rotates in a circular, wavelike motion.”
“Stick to the walls in a feat of centrifugal force in this classic adventure!
As the ride begins to spin, centrifugal force causes the riders to push against the walls as the ride lifts up to an angle of 60 degree.”
But we have plans to return to ride the Carousel.
“This merry-go-round located in Schenley Plaza was built in 2006 & has a colorful, ornate design.”
We were in the Oakland neighborhood by University of Pittsburgh to attend Visitor’s Day at Western PA Writing Project .
Throwback Thursday
Grandson Jack is here for a quick visit.
What to do that didn’t involve being inside around people? Sunday night we did three hours of Fall Fantasy at Kennywood Amusement Park but what to do on a rainy Monday?
My friend V said last summer her family enjoyed the Keystone Safari Park. You drive about 2 MPH through the park. Make sure you’re by the car window! You’re feeding a wide variety of animals as they stick their beaks and big faces right in the car window.
What a difference a year makes . From the archives
Lots of images came to mind.
The trick was digging around in the files and finding what I was envisioning for the Weekly Photo Challenge: Descent created by Cheri Lucas Rowlands at WordPress. Her example was excellent.
Here is my gallery of descent.

A wonderful summer day.
We did NOT ride the Round Up but the spectators are in line at the Tilt-a-Whirl.
Saw these two photos on the desktop and they seemed similar in shape
But here’s what happens with the Pittsburgh Plunge at Kennywood
