    The ride being deliberately made mediocre for capacity reasons is the most Garfield thing ever.

    The sign in Pittsburgh is iconic. Not only is it a mascot there's also a ride built in the shape of it called the arrow 360. The way people tell each other when they're pants zipper is down is "kennywoods open". Kennywood and the sign are a big cultural part of the city. The sign I believe became iconic because they would hang small signs up all over the city with those arrows pointing to the direction of kennywood. Most people in the city probably have memories of spotting the signs and the building excitement as you get closer and closer. I also gotta mention how these signs were in random fucking places too not on the sides of highways and shit. Like in random residential neighborhoods

    I love that roughly 50 years before the meme, Kennywood was bonking people sending them to horny jail. But as a kid I rode this with the skeletons theme for years and never knew any of this history. It was just a great way to start the day because it was a slow ride before the coasters opened, the line wasn't usually long, and it was right at the iconic entrance tunnel. The last time I went on the ride in 2012, I was most definitely going on with the intent of some of that iconic romantic time. But we were so surprised and impressed by the art put into the unexpected Garfield theming, that we forgot our original intentions and just came out pleasantly surprised at the overhaul.

    If you appreciate lore then I'll mention that in same Pittsburgh area there was a trolley park called Oakford Park in Jeannette PA. Moe and Shemp spent three Summers living above the old post office in town an working at theThe summer theater at Oakford Park. The park got obliterated one year when a amateurish dam above the park burst in a storm dragging the park's coaster thru town. Decades later when visiting the area Moe stayed in Jeannette two streets up from me. I beaned him with a snowball once on first and frothingham.

    As a Pittsburgher this video was a joy, especially the emails, especially the entirety blurred paragraph. I had a friend who worked the old mil often (actually permanently fucked up their foot cause you have to manually push the boats and they were doing that on a broken foot) and this not only lines up completely with what I’ve heard but makes me realize how insane this ride is. The craziest thing about those emails though is it is entirely possible I know any of those people, but infinitely more likely I simply know multiple adults who got handsy in the Garfield Tunnel. I am saddened that I will never be able to experience the ride at its height like they were.

    That was pretty funny, but I would like to correct one thing. That is not "The Sign". It's actually "The Kennywood Arrow". They were originally made of metal, had a finger at the tip of the arrow, and were nailed to telephone poles literally MILES AND MILES from the park, pointing in the direction you would drive to get there. Best year-round advertising EVER. Later ones were wood and shaped like the current arrow, but again, they were scattered all over the greater Pittsburgh area and were visible all year long, even when the park was closed.

    It's so surreal listening to Kevin say things like "Monongahela" because we're so heavily overlooked here. I grew up riding Garfield's Nightmare. I was a kid, so I loved it. My favorite parts were the fish and the needle. I felt sad seeing the ride get more broken with each go but it was still fun because it was the easiest ride to get on. Me and other kids would rock the boat around and make a bunch of noise, or try to touch the walls and props. I remember my mom always complaining about the ride being awful but that never stopped me from wanting to ride it again. Although, it is awkward now knowing what else was going on in there 😅

    Garfield was always kind-of scary. When I was a kid, my Dad made a mix VHS with holiday episodes ranging from Halloween through Christmas (yes, it ended with The Grinch stealing stuff from the Whos and cut-off because it was a VHS from the '80's; I thought The Grinch really DID manage to steal Christmas for years, but I digress). Garfield's Halloween was the first special on the VHS. I always skipped through the end because the old creepy man in front of the fire scared the crap out of me. I was afraid of in-home fireplaces until we moved to a house with one and I was forced to get over my fear. That would probably mean I had a weird phobia for about six years. Thanks, Garfield! I knew there was a reason to be a dog person!

    Our local theme park had Garfield licencing, we didn't have any Garfield rides, but the children's section of the park was called "Garfield's Summer camp", and much of the promotional material featured Garfield. It was removed after the 2019 season.

    I never imagined there could be such a thing as a "history of picnics" It's like hearing about the history of hiking or eating lunch

    If only they’d create a Garfield dark ride based on the “I’M SORRY JON” version of the characters. Nobody would be making out during that nightmare.

    The Old Mill that existed before Garfield was way better than the version that replaced it after Garfield. They essentially replaced all of the cool original scenery and replaced it with cheap Halloween decor. As for Garfield, we all saw it was on its way out when the ride wasn’t being maintained or repaired.
