Voters Choose Winner for New Kangaroo Logo and Theme

The votes have been tallied and a victor made clear: Kennywood’s Kangaroo ride will feature the Vintage theming, including a ride logo, vibrant car designs, and all-new LED lighting package when it makes its triumphant return in 2022

Nearly 12,000 votes were submitted to select the new style for the returning ride, as park management allowed the public to pick between two themes as Kangaroo begins the process of bouncing back in 2022. The Vintage theme received approximately 80 percent of the votes in the three-day period.

“Our guests asked for Kangaroo’s comeback, and we’re hoppy—happy—to make it happen,” says General Manager Mark Pauls. “Allowing the public to play a role in the ride’s exciting future is just the beginning of many exciting things to come.”

Leading up to its opening next year, guests can follow along with the Kangaroo’s refurbishment through a special web series at Kennywood.com. As that work begins, Holiday Lights emerges as the hot item for family fun.
