Idlewild and Soak Zone, commonly known as Idlewild Park or simply Idlewild, is a children's amusement park situated in the Laurel Highlands near Ligonier, Pennsylvania, United States, about 50 miles east of Pittsburgh, along US Route 30. Founded in 1878 as a campground along the Ligonier Valley Railroad by Thomas Mellon, Idlewild is the oldest amusement park in Pennsylvania and the third oldest operating amusement park in the United States behind Lake Compounce and Cedar Point. The park has won several awards, including from industry publication Amusement Today as the best children's park in the world. The park was established by the prominent Mellon family in 1878, and remained family-owned for over 100 years. It expanded greatly throughout the first half of the 20th century, adding rides including a Philadelphia Toboggan Company Rollo Coaster in 1938, one of the company's earliest. The park is home to the Ligonier Highland Games, a Scottish athletic and cultural festival that has annually drawn over 10,000 spectators. In 1983, the park was purchased by Kennywood Entertainment Company, which oversaw additional expansion, including an attraction designed and voiced by Fred Rogers based on his television show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Since 2008, the park, as well as others formerly under Kennywood Entertainment, have been owned by Spanish company Parques Reunidos and operated by their American subsidiary Palace Entertainment.

Exploring The Abandoned Ligonier Beach

Exploring The Abandoned Ligonier Beach. In this video, I walk around and inside of one building at this once popular summer tourist attraction for not just the locals but for people all around. Opened in 1925, every Summer this provided cool waters in its huge pool to cool off, a beach-like environment for kids to build sand castles, a bar, pavilion, bands, and generally a great time. In 2017, arson made this place take a blow and in 2018, 2 floods put the nail in the coffin. It has been closed since the end of Summer 2017.

Brandt / Brant Cemetery Ligonier PA

This is a compilation of a few short video clips I (Keith Pritts) shot after mowing the cemetery on August 15, 2016. I typically send Mark Brant a few photos, but, this time, I figured I would do something a little different and create a short video of the cemetery. It shows various points of view from different spots in the cemetery.

Special thanks to David and Nancy Heider. Their property borders the cemetery and they allow us to get into the cemetery by crossing their property. They also graciously welcome visitors to the cemetery. It is most appreciated!
