Guest Blogger

Phillip Cashmere is a park visitor who recently wrote a great blog entry about his visit to Idlewild & SoakZone. Phil also tweeted while he was at the park giving up to the minute information about what a great time he was having.

We took the kids to Idlewild Park in Ligonier, Pennsylvania for our first family vacation. It was raining in Ohio when we left for our adventure, but thanks to Josh’s prayers the night before, it was nice and sunny when we arrived in PA.

Nestled in the forest just off of Route 30, Idlewild to me was everything that a great, old amusement park should be. From the rides to the sights, sounds and smells of the midway, it rekindled many wonderful childhood memories within me.


My kids had a blast riding the rides! They loved the Log Ride as well as the numerous kiddie rides located in Raccoon Lagoon. I particularly enjoyed the hand cart ride. These were similar to the hand carts that Erieview Park at Geneva-On-The-Lake had except these carts were made to accommodate both children AND adults. With little to no wait times for the rides, the kids were always busy having fun!



Next, we all had a great time riding the Mister Rogers trolley through the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. I am a huge Mister Rogers fan, so I was really looking forward to this ride the most, and I was NOT disappointed! The ride was an amusing interactive journey through the Neighborhood of Make-Believe visiting each of the neighborhood’s colorful character along the way. The ride concluded with a Hug and Song party at King Friday’s castle complete with a heart-warming rendition of the classic Mister Rogers song, “It’s Such A Good Feeling”.




We then concluded our day by playing various carnival games, and the kids got their faces painted.

Firefighter & EMS Appreciation Day

Today marked our Annual Firefighter & EMS appreciation day at the park. The highlight of the day is the equipment display and the Battle of the Barrel that takes places in Lot A. If you have never seen a Battle of the Barrel it is truly something to behold. Two teams of Firefighters line up opposite one another and both spray their hoses at a central "barrell" trying to push it back at the opposing team.



It is a very popular event as you can see from the crowd gathered. The best part, on a day like today, is that you get a little bit of that over spray to cool you down.

Dear Dads,

Thanks for always carrying the cooler. Thanks for listening to us ask, "are we there yet?" hundreds of times on the way to the park. Thanks for buying us the big Ice Cream cone even though you knew we wouldn't be able to finish it. Thanks for spending the day with us in Kiddieland and riding the Trolley three times in a row. Thanks for riding rides you didn't want to, just because we did. Thanks for carrying us to the car at night when we were too tired to walk. And most of all thanks for all the great memories.

Happy Father's day from Idlewild & SoakZone.

Greensburg Community Picnic


Our good friends at SAM FM 107.1 visited today to help celebrate Greensburg's Community Picnic. In addition to playing games and interacting with Guests they did a few live call backs from the Park. It is always really nice to see a local radio station support the community.

Monday June 15, 2009

Ever wonder what 300 gallons of water looks like?



No day at the SoakZone is complete without some time spent under the Giant Tipping Bucket. I can't think of anything more refreshing on a hot summer day than 300 gallons of water raining down from the sky.

Sunday June 14, 2009

Froggy Radio - Mascot Day

Our Friends at Froggy radio stopped by today for Mascot Day. Froggy had a great time giving out prizes and spinning the birthday wheel with our Guests. Mr Frog, the official Froggy Mascot also arrived in this cool Hummer.


Mr. Frog had a few friends here today. Ricky Raccoon, Kenny Kangaroo from Kennywood, and Duncan Dragon from Sandcastle. Ricky and Duncan became such good friends they even went on a few rides together.

The Stanley Cup visits Idlewild



So maybe it's not the real Stanley Cup, but our Guests were excited all the same. It takes a dedicated fan to carry a homemade Stanley Cup around the SoakZone.

Congratulations, to the 2009 Pittsburgh Penguins from your neighbors, Idlewild & SoakZone.

FYI: If any of the Pens want to bring their kids and the cup to the park. You are always welcome.

Idlewild at Night

One of my favorite times of the day at Idlewild starts with the evening shows. As the shows start at 7:00pm people start to gather in the center of the park, the lights start to come on, guests start buying popcorn and funnel cakes. It really is the most fun time of the day to me. Trying to get that one last ride in for the day. For me, as a child, my strongest memory has always been the last ride of the day.

Tuesday June 9, 2009

Community Days

Today marked the day of a week of community days for us. Today was the Latrobe community picnic and it was the picnic that I came to as a child growing up in the area. It was a lot of fun to see the community come out and all have fun together.

Tomorrow is the Derry community.

Guest Bloggers

So the whole purpose of a blog is to interact with our Guests. What better way to do just that is there then letting our Guests write a few blog entries.

I am still going to be doing my regular blog updates from the park but it would be nice to hear from you as well.

Lets first start with trip reports...
~Write a simple trip report about what you did while you were at the park
~send some photos to go with it

It's that easy. Now I can't post everyone's trip reports so I will only be picking a few here and there but feel free to send as many as you like.

Email your trip reports to esaxton@idlewild.com with "Trip Report" in the subject line.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

So easy a even a kid can do it...

I made another trip down to the Tea Party today and caught a great example of why this ride is such a great fit at our park. Kids can control how they want to ride. Whether you want to be adventurous and spin fast or relaxed and spin slow... It's up to you.

It is always a good day at work when you get to see everyone from parents to even the littlest of kids spinning and smiling.

Friday June 5, 2009

Join the Party

Come to Raccoon Lagoon and join the party. I rode Tea Party for the first time yesterday and I loved it. It is a great ride for a Mom or Dad to enjoy with their children.

Happy Memorial Day!


We start each Memorial Day at Idlewild with a bang. Normally it is the bang of a starter pistol but today it was with musket fire. This year's YMCA 5k Run/Walk Tour De Park was started by the musket fire of our Civil War reenactors. The race was fantastic as usual and we would like to thank the YMCA for doing such a great job.

























Today is also the last day of our Memorial Day Salute and the kind folks from Carpenter's Battery did one last artillery demonstration for the crowd. Seeing a real life canon be fired is truly an amzing sight.


They were even crazy enough to let me fire a musket. (note: That is not me pictured. I did not get to wear the uniform. it's ok I imagine wool is quite hot in the summer)

Sunday May 24, 2009

Memorial Day Salute

Today is the second day of our Memorial Day Salute and I stopped by our battlefield... I mean Ballfield where artillery demonstrations and a mock skirmish were taking place.




These guys were preparing for battle.



I also got to see a demonstration of how a canon was fired. I hoping tomorrow I'll get a shot at firing that canon. If you haven't been out yet don't wait. There is only one day of our Memorial Day Salute left.

CSI at Idlewild



Creek Side Investigation is a new program part of this year's Outdoor Classroom. Students got to enter the stream with the friendly folks from the Loyalhanna Watershed Association (Thank you by the way, you guys are awesome) and examine what is in the water.



Once in the water the students would kick at the creek bed and catch the deposits from the creek in their nets.



The students then take their nets and examine what they've found. Identifying each item with help from the guides from the Watershed.

This really is a great Outdoor Classroom program and it made me wish I were a kid again, so that I could participate.

I would once again like to thank the kind people at the Loyalhanna Watershed Association for all of their help in making this program possible. Also our Sales Director Kathy Sichula for all of her help in making this program a reality.


Wait... You didn't think this was about the TV show, did you?

Opening Day!

Opening day has been a soaring success. In the next few days I am hoping to get photos of the cool things we have going on here over the weekend. Including outdoor classroom and our Memorial Day Salute.

Talk to you soon.

Wednesday May 20, 2009

Resting up for the big day.

While most of the park is bustling with activity, getting ready for opening day tomorrow, I found this guy resting up for the big day.



Tomorrow is like his Kentucky Derby. He seems well rested and ready, waiting for his first rider.

Tuesday May 19, 2009

Only two days until we open.

As you can imagine, with only two days until opening day, things are pretty busy around here. We are doing the little things to make sure the park ready open. We are also doing som big things like opening the Safari Hut. It is starting to look really good.



One of the things we added in the Jungle last year was BigFoot's Mudslide.



Here is a few from the top of the slide. I am looking forward to taking some slides down this again this year on those really hot summer days.

Saturday May 16, 2009

...not all good things that are wooden have to come in the form of a roller coaster!

The good people at "news plus notes" just posted a very cool blog about the Safari Hut. They really have a good eye as to the reasons we added this attraction.

Click Here to check out the story.


Thanks Sabrina.

Special Delivery

This morning at Idlewild & SoakZone we received a very special delivery. The “Safari Hut” arrived. The most impressive portion would have to be the HUGE eucalyptus tree trunk that the hut will sit on. It is truly awe-inspiring.




Here is also a quick look at the structure that will sit on the other side of the suspension bridge from the hut.


Just to give you an idea of exactly how big the tree is…



That is a full sized tractor-trailer it is on. The tree weighs in at over 3,600 pounds. I can't wait to use the slides.

Pittsburgh Today Live

On Monday morning our very own Jeff Croushore will be appearing on Pittsburgh Today Live. Jeff will be talking about what's new for 2009 and some exciting reasons why "Pittsburghers" should have no problem spending their summer vacation close to home with an Idlewild Season Pass.

On a side note, Jeff's appearance was originally scheduled for Tuesday morning. Kristine Sorensen is going to be off on Tuesday and she loves Idlewild so much that she asked us to move up to Monday so she could be there.

Family Memories

So this entry is a little different than normal. I was recently contacted by a Guest asking to use a few of the photos from our website in a blog entry she was writing. She was writing about the time she spent here during her childhood and all of the wonderful memories of her family. From school picnics to the Rollo Coaster I can’t believe how much this felt like my story and I am sure it feels like a lot of other people’s stories as well.

Here is a link to Cindy’s story. If you have a favorite memory of the park or would like to tell us your story, please let us know in the comments section below.

Monday May 4, 2009

Tweet Tweet


That’s not the sound of spring you hear. (well it kind of is…) That is the sound of us “tweeting” information about the park via our twitter account. What’s the difference between what’s on twitter and what’s on here you ask? Well, our “tweets” will be much shorter updates or reminders about special events. It will even tell you when this blog has been updated. The best reason to follow us on twitter, especially if you are a Season Pass Holder, is that our tweets will tell you about days with short lines at the park and special events.

You can even have our “tweets” sent to your phone while you are at the Park. ( click here to find out how to turn this feature on and off, standard text rates apply ) The great thing about receiving our “tweets” on your phone while at the park is that I will be regularly “tweeting” about things going on in the park. For example maybe there is a fun event goin on in the park today. Tweet. Now you’re the first to know. Pretty Cool.

Start following us today.

Now I know that the information on Wikipedia is not always correct but today they got it right. That's right we are the feature article on Wikipedia today...

Coaster Photos

One of the most exciting things about Idlewild in the spring is that everyday there is something new going on. I walked outside today and there it was...



...The start of the photo building right outside the Rollo Coaster exit. That's right, this year our very own Rollo Coaster will be equipped with a on ride photo. Now the fun doesn't need to stop when you get off the ride. You can have a lifetime of memories aboard this American Coaster Classic.

Monday April 27, 2009

It's starting to look like summer around here!!



With all of this warm weather we have been having a lot of work has been getting done. As you can see above the rides are getting put back up and were are moving right along.

Only 23 days until we open!!!!

More New in'09



In addition to “Tea Party” in Raccoon Lagoon, we will be adding “Safari Hut” to Jumpin’ Jungle for 2009.

"Safari Hut" is a Jumpin' Jungle play structure with two spiral slides built atop an 8 foot wide Eucalyptus tree trunk. The tree trunk has a passage cut through so you can explore the inside of this massive jungle treasure. A top the tree trunk sits the observation deck area where you can see all the "wildlife" of Jumpin' Jungle in its natural habitat. Then you can slide down one of the two spiral slides and join in on all of the Jungle fun! The picture above is an artist rendering of the Safari Hut.

I’m excited. Let me know what you think!

Monday April 20, 2009

More New for 2009...

Could there be another new family friendly attraction at Idlewild for 2009?

Maybe we will find out on Wednesday...

Tuesday March 24, 2009

Confusion Hill Honored

Our very own Confusion Hill has been named one of the Top Ten Walkthough Attractions by the "Darkride and Funhouse Enthusiasts"

You can check out the list here.

Friday March 20, 2009

New For 2009!



“Tea Party” is the newest addition to our family friendly ride line up. “Tea Party” is a Tea Cup ride that will reside in Raccoon Lagoon and it's already one of Ricky's favorites. I can’t wait until this goes in and I can take a few test spins.

Happy first day of Spring!

Thursday March 12, 2009

Less than 70 Days!

Even though there were a few snow flurries this morning. The sun showing through the clouds makes it feel like summer is just around the corner! Less than 70 days!

"Staycation"

In a recent Orbitz Travel Blog, Pittsburgh was named one of the top 5 places for families from the Washington, DC area to visit close to home this summer. And why was it ranked up there? A big part of that ranking is all that Western Pennsylvania has to offer to families including Idlewild & SoakZone. We are listed as one of the highlights of the Pittsburgh area for families to visit this summer. So if you are planning a “staycation” this summer, be sure to add Idlewild & SoakZone to your list of things to do.

Future Ride Designers of America

On Wednesday I spent my day at St. Vincent College speaking to high school students from two local school districts about Amusement Park marketing. I took part in a St. Vincent Small Business Development Center program that helps students prepare for jobs in the real world with some really fun activities. The early morning was spent with a presentation from St. Vincent’s Dr. Kline about the field of marketing and then I spoke about marketing involving Kennywood, Idlewild & Sandcastle. The students then spend the rest of the day designing and developing marketing plans for new attractions they would like to see at the parks. There were a ton of fantastic ideas but I have to say my favorites were the “Mild Cat,” a kiddie version of the wild mouse in which the exit was a maze. And also a water raft ride that, through a highly sophisticated system of computers and some “state of the art” engineering, changes the path you take each time you ride (to the right is a “blueprint” of the ride). Overall the day is very fun and I am glad that I am asked to participate. Who knows I may have just spent the day with some future ride designers.

Mister Rogers' Neighborhood of Make-Believe

One of the perks of the sun shining this morning is that I have been inspired to do some spring-cleaning. In doing so I found this brochure from 1989 and I thought it would be great to share.



I always make at least one trip to the Castle Hug-N-Song a summer!

Friday February 13, 2009

Less than 100 days until we open!

That’s right in less than 100 days there will be carousel music playing, popcorn popping and the park will be open. In case you can’t tell we are pretty excited.

In preparation for opening day, interviews for Seasonal Employment will begin at the park on Monday February 16. All interested applicants should report to the personnel office from 3:30pm - 4:30pm, Monday through Thursday. No appointments are necessary.

If you are looking to perform in one of Idlewild’s many great shows, auditions are beginning with American Entertainment Productions as well.

Please visit our Employment page to get a list of Audition dates and times along with a downloadable application.

Thanks, and we can’t wait to see you this summer!

'Twas Two Days before Christmas...

'Twas two days before Christmas
When all through this house
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even the Wild Mouse.

A tree was placed
In the office with care
And look its St. Nicholas
Right over there.

In the region the children were nestled
All snug in their beds,
With visions of summer fun
Bouncing through their heads.

And Mother Goose in her apron **
And I in my cap,
Admired our park
During its long winter nap.

When out on the lawn
There arose such a clatter
I sprang from my desk
To see what was the matter

Away to the window
I flew like a flash
Pulled up the Venetian blinds
Which then fell down on me in a crash

The Loyalhanna Creek **
So pristine in its flow
Gave a luster of beauty
Among the new fallen snow

When what to my nearsighted
Eyes did appear
But a giant Raccoon
With only a shirt to wear **

Your guide for adventure
Family fun, smiles too
Our loveable mascot
It's Ricky Raccoon!


More rapid than you
Can shake your "derriere re ahs"
Let's take a look
At Idlewild's seven themed areas

I'll whistle and shout
And call them by name,
Story Book Forest, Jumpin' Jungle
Hootin' Holler they came

Olde Idlewild, SoakZone
And Raccoon Lagoon,
Mister Roger's Neighborhood
Of Make-Believe too.

To the top of the list
Let's review them in-depth
First Story Book Forest
Then we'll get to the rest

A magical fantasyland **
Comes to life
Featuring the domiciles of your favorites
Including Peter Pumpkin Eater's wife **

Built in 1956
And instantly renowned
There's Little Miss Muffet
And Old King Cole in his crown.

Live characters like Gepetto, **
Snow White and Little Red
Greet children of all ages
Leaving fond memories in their heads.

Jumpin' Jungle's our place **
To climb, slide and play
There's so much to do
It may take you all day

The big net climb is there
Right in the center
The giant ball pit sure is colorful **
To all who enter


Hootin' Holler's our country **
Western Town with great cheer
With a lot of twangy "Howdy"s
And "You'll come back now, Ya hear!"

With a great General Store and
The Potato Patch too
And also Dizzy Lizzy's
Wild Saloon

But one of my favorites
The house on a tilt
An award winning fun house
We call Confusion Hill!

Mister Rogers' Neighborhood **
The land of Make-Believe
A one-of-a-kind attraction
That you all just gotta see

A lifesize trolley
visits the popular characters from our past
A tribute to Fred Rogers
Sure to make his memory last

Idlewild's the park
where Mr. Rogers grew up
He designed this great ride
Especially for us

Once you ride it you'll have a phrase
stuck in your head for so long
Its:"Come along, come along
To the Castle Hug N Song!"

Bring your parents or children
Anyone you can lug
To ride the only ride in the world
To end with a hug.

Raccoon Lagoon is our area
For all the small tykes
It has cars, and boats, **
Airplanes and motorbikes


One of the largest and most
Scenic Kiddielands you'll find **
A beautiful nine-acre paradise
You're tots sure won't mind

It's home to that mascot
I spoke of before
That's five themed area,
But wait there's two more

With Slidefulls of excitement **
And splashing good fun
Be sure to enjoy the SoakZone
Before your visit is done

16 waterslides
along with a huge sparkling pool
and Captain Kidd's Adventure Galley will help you stay cool

Little Squirts
is the kiddie pool **
Built like a palace
then there's the giant tipping bucket dumping 300 gallons

Lastly the area that's been around
For the most while
It's the center of it all
We call it Olde Idlewild

With midways filled
with games and great food ***
and beautiful shady areas
to rest and re-mood

Olde Idlewild's the place
for your entire family of riders
There's the Paratrooper, **The Whip,
Flying Aces **and the Spider

An historic PTC Carousel **
sits in the middle of all
Playing beautiful music
Delighting both the big and the small


Nineteen major rides in total
But there's two you'll like most-er
They're our steel-tracked Wild Mouse
And our classic wooden Rollo Coaster

For youngun's the Rollo's a great **
First time woodie
They're scream with great joy
Oh goodie goodie!

Built along a wooded hillside **
It sure is a smash
It like a miniature version
of the great Boulderdash

Designed by Herb Schmeck
Of PTC Fame
It’s a great out and back
With dips not so lame

My first coaster ride
was with my great dad
On Rollo Coaster's track
And, boy I'm so glad

Now Rollo's done
It's off to the races
There's another coaster to see
Just past our Flying Aces

In 1993,
moved from Alton Towers,
Is the Wild Mouse **
With its great turning power

My first ride on this one
Was my first year
Of working at Idlewild
I was so glad to be there

I stood in the q-line
With friends totaling three
We anxiously waited
As we passed the park's gum tree


I was pondering the issue
Of why people litter
When all of sudden
I saw coming a critter **

He looked like he was dressed in fur
From his head to his tail
Put it was truly beige paint
To make him look real

His eyes – how they twinkled!
No dimples, though merry
His cheeks were like roses
His nose, a little hairy

On the first and only lift
Some curiousity I felt **
How strange! How odd!
A slight leftward tilt

At the top of the lift
I held tight on the bar
I peeked out below
Boy was it far **

Then suddenly a quick
turn of the track
my friend beside me
Whoops! I just smacked

Then another quick turn
and then several more
mixed in with some dips
Reaching toward the ground level floor

All four in the car
Letting out great big "Whees!"
As we rushed so very closely
To some very huge pine trees

Another great coaster
The park's no longer mild
We're lucky to have it
At great Idlewild


Our quick tour's now done
Back to Ricky Raccoon
He's a little chubby and plump
It makes the girls swoon

A wink of his eye
and a twist of his head
an invite to you
to visit all that's been said

My name is Mr. Idlewild
And its been my delight
Merry Christmas to all **
And to all a Good Night!
