Kennywood to add haunted house ride

WEST MIFFLIN, Pa. (AP) — Kennywood Park near Pittsburgh will open a new dark ride this spring, the $2 million “Ghostwood Acres.”

The ride will replace the Gold Rusher, a haunted mine ride that closed last year.

The new ride is an eight-room haunted house.

The haunted house will feature trackless cars that will spook riders by carrying them past more than 200 interactive targets and computer generated images.

General manager Jerome Gibas says the new attraction shows the park is committed to offering dark rides.
