Man. Nothing nicer than that area in spring/summer.
Started getting all nostalgic just visiting the Idlewild website.
It was PGH winters that used to kill me. Unnngh.
idlewild is a beautiful wooded setting for an amusement park. the rides are a bit too tame for my kids at their present ages, but a few years back we would meet the cousins there instead, bc Storybook Forest, MisterRogers Neighborhood and Idlewild are great for smaller kids. Now the majority of them like the big roller coasters. The Jackrabbit was till their fave of the coasters though and that was there for my school picnics as was the Racer, also still there.
