What to Expect on Black Widow
Black Widow at Kennywood offers a thrilling experience that combines both height and speed. Riders sit in outward-facing suspended seats that form a 40-person circle, with each secured by adjustable shoulder restraints. As the ride begins, the giant structure swings in a pendulum motion while simultaneously rotating counterclockwise. Riders will feel the rush as they soar to a peak height of 146 feet, creating a sensation of weightlessness that is thrilling and exhilarating. The ride reaches speeds of up to 68 miles per hour, with angles of up to 120 degrees from the center, generating an intense experience that varies with each rider's position. From the lofty heights, you can enjoy breathtaking views of Lost Kennywood, making it a spectacular, yet adrenaline-pumping adventure not suited for the faint-hearted.
