With Kennywood removing 4 flat rides, they will need some new flat rides. Today, I want to look into what some of their next flat rides will be.
First, I want to look at some used rides, as they will be cheaper to purchase than a new ride.
Now, I was looking into some used rides they may buy. I was looking into some used rides. I saw that Zamperla sells some used rides. The problem with this is that you must give them information, and I don't think I can. If you are interested, though, go to https://www.zamperla.com/used-rides/
I decided to go somewhere else to look into this. It seems that usedrides.com is trustworthy, and you don't have to give your information unless you are buying the rides. Here are some rides that are in their yard that they are selling:
-A Tilt-a-Whirl for $25,000
-A Zipper Flat Ride for $75,000
-An SBF Visa Spinning Coaster for $585,000
-A Sizzler Flat Ride (Similar to CatWoman's Whip at SFOG) for $35,000
Now, I can't find any other flat rides that would actually be a good fit. Also, while I understand that SBF Spinners aren't flat rides, some people may consider them flat rides and I feel that it would fit in with the flat rides.
Next, I want to look at some other flat ride models that Kennywood may want. Within the past years, Kennywood has been buying some prototype flat rides. They bought Skyrocket, Black Widow, and Steel Curtain, 3 prototype rides.
I don't know of many prototype flat rides that they can install, but there is one that seems like what Kennywood needs. This is the S&S Spin Shot. This is a launched drop tower with 4d cars.
Now, there is one more ride that I want to bring up, which is a Chance Rides Wipeout. You may be confused on why I bring this up, so let me explain. When Kennywood was renovating and relocating some flat rides within the park, they had a Chance Rides Wipeout as filler. They also put it there when Bayern Kurve was in storage, before putting Bayern Kurve back in 2008. They then sent Wipeout over to Lake Compounce.
Lake Compounce just closed Wipeout and Kennywood just closed what was Lake Compounce's Enterprise, and I think they are trading them. I think that they will potentially buy the rides from usedrides.com and put them at Kennywood, but also at some other Palace parks.
In the end, I think that Kennywood's next flat rides will be a Chance Rides Wipeout, a TIlt-a-Whirl, a Zipper, and an S&S Combo Tower that will include a Spin Shot.
