Added to the park in 1995, was built on the old pay parking lot area. The area evokes memories of Kennywood's long history, and also the illusion of yesteryear's dangerous rides, with modern safety features, of course. The area includes the Pittsburg Plunge, a Shoot-the-Chute named after the brief period in the 1890s when Pittsburgh dropped the "h" from its name, the Whip which was moved from its original location near the Log Jammer, the Wave Swinger wicker swing ride, the Exterminator, and the Pitt Fall 251-foot-drop tower ride.

Lost Kennywood, Kennywood parks largest expansion project to date, replicates the old Luna Parks of days gone by. Each building, shop, fountain and ride is lined with hundreds of lights that come alive at dusk recreating the 1920s era when electricity was a new marvel.
