Kennywood’s Thunderbolt Mural is GONE! 

It better not be train replacements. Those trains are historic and legendarily awesome.

Aw man! Some of my most cherished Kennywood memories are getting a picture by that mural every time I visited!

I'll never get over the log jammer being removed it was one of my favorite rides it was such a great ride 😢

I think that they should add a canopy over the cue line of the tbolt.

I thought on media day they said they were going to paint the mural into something and we just had to wait. Honestly It doesn’t bother me that area did need a new refresh. So I’m fine with whatever they put there.

I’m sure they’re putting up a new 100th anniversary mural for the Pippen. The park had noted on Facebook they had more coming for that besides just the sign on the ride.

I have a prediction I came up with, and I'd LOVE your input. The Pirate is on its way out for an Area 412 expansion. With all the refurbishments, especially in the old Volcano alley, The Pirate stands out as lacking the love the other rides have had. The ship itself needs extensive replacement and paint. and just look at the control station. It takes up a significant footprint from the support footers as well as the knoll it rests on. Keeping with their current go to Zamperla, I think there are several possible replacements with lighting packages that would further make that area pop as as well as add much needed curb appeal and eye candy to cars passing on Kennywood Blvd. Super Air Race - as there is nothing like that nearby as far as I know. Endeavor - I feel like this was a red herring for Volcano's replacement, and still a ride I think will make an appearance some time in the next few years at the park Nebulaz - Hershey does have one, but I think Kennywood is far enough away and watching them work is mesmerizing and would be eye candy for passers by viewing the new ride of the year. Over all I think something on the scale of Steel Curtain or maybe an actual expansion to the grounds itself may be on the horizon and they are getting the park in top form for future crowds and the associated spotlight with maybe another low year of park aesthetic enhancements and guest experience being the focus. Also an overhaul of Kiddieland and Thomas Town, hopefully merging them into one complete area which could put it on the map for children's areas in the larger market.

aw that really sucks. i love that thing

Extra video yay

I'm more upset about the modernization of the breaks.

Did you know that the thunderbolt? Is the second best wooden coaster in the world

I heard they’re going to do something similar to what they did with the theming of the bumper cars, and the color of the phantom. They’re probably just going to put a new design for the mural.

Hopefully they’re just refreshing it

This is so disappointing this carried my childhood I loved walking around and seeing this painting heartbreaking😢💔

Meh. Not the first time the wall has been re-done. How about we refresh the Rapids instead though?

I fully trust the park I’m not considered to me and in my opinion 90% of the time they removed something they replaced it with something that I thought was just as good if not better than the original the only ones I can’t think of a time they didn’t is the paratrooper and bayren curve, but they have excuses for both of those, like how paratroopers land is kinda token up by kangaroos new line. I love all the ride replacements just as much if not more than the original, so I’ve been very happy and trust the park and although I never thought the experience was bad I’ve been having the best experiences at the park ever recently the past few seasons and or pretty much sense they went this new direction back in 2022.

Dang! I bet Kenny did it!! He better put it back!!😢😢

Why😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Tbh I was kind of disappointed with the spinvasion. I would’ve rather them kept the volcano and fixed it, it could do single or double riders. The volcano was definitely better in my opinion, but it’s better than replacing the space with more tables or restaurants. The mural will probably just be redone, a little change here and there isn’t too crazy.

Rmc is coming

Kennywood as gone down hill over the past 5 years at least. From how you pay for things, to the hours of operation, to the rides not operational, to all the criminals walking around that place. Not to mention the jacked up prices for admission. I'd rather drive an extra hour and take my kids to Idlewild.

What if they are hinting to RMC the coaster

This park is such a joke there was the sh**ting a couple years back then steel curtain is down a whole year and now this

Well, the new one is out and its ugly. Palace entertainment just doesnt get it.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Ik people are going to disagree with me but, Tbh i kinda hope they replace the derbolt with a RMC or a steel coaster or smth else. I do like the derbolt but after going to BGT yesterday i dont want to go back to kennywood’s boring coasters so something more thrilling would be nice but kennywood wouldn’t to that.
