  • A combination of color and black and white footage shows various rides and views of Kennywood, beginning with people rowing boats on the lagoon. Included are shots of the Rockets, Pippin, and a pan of the midway, which shows the Lucky refreshment stand, Whip pavilion, and Dipsey Doodle in motion. The next shot is from a rider's perspective of the Dipsey Doodle and is followed by similar views and perspectives of the Ferris Wheel, Roll-O-Plane, Ridee-O, and Noah's Ark. The footage ends with riders boarding the Tumble Bug and a scene of the midway in front of the Old Mill and Laff-In-The-Dark.
