pad takes the place of the orange pedal that has been used
for a number of year. Standing on this pad serves the same
purpose of having your foot on the pedal. Also new is at
the Pittfall, team members will be required to stand
behind their respective gates while the ride is in the
air. This will prevent objects that guests drop landing on
our heads.
Where are things
located? Cleaning supplies will be kept at The Pittfall
and under the games building. Odersorb will be given out
by the games workers, they have a supply in the back room.
The sign out sheet and schedule will be located at The
Pittfall.

full time? May 13th is the first Monday of the season we
are opened. From then into Labor Day, Kennywood is opened
daily. This season however Kennywood will be opened
weekends after Labor Day for a fantastic Halloween
celebration.
Why do we all work
in Lost Kennywood? Well besides the paycheck. We all work
in Lost Kennyood because it is the best crew in the park
year in and year out.
