- I don't know how anyone who is/was a Kennywood employee could fail to mention
- that Kennywood has a $3.00 (approx.--I do the POP thing, since I ride so much)
- general admission which allows you to buy individual ride tickets. The GA
- is nice since people who don't ride can accompany people who do to the park
- without paying an outrageous price. I don't think Kennywood will ever get
- rid of the GA.
