Kennywood Auto Race Neon

Kennywood's Auto Race is a classic ride that's the last of its kind in the world. One of the coolest parts of this classic is its astounding neon sign on the facade!
 Here's a picture: the wheels each have two circles that quickly flash on and off, creating some animation.

I'm very thankful that we still have this part of the ride around, but there did use to be more neon surrounding the squares on the front. I'm not sure why that's gone, but it was probably for maintenance reasons.

Other neon-y posts! Jack Rabbit and Turtle

I'm at an amusement park, so sorry if I can't respond to someone's comment instantly.

I hope you are having a good time, Andrew! Will you be doing a "trip report" post?

Love the queue building colors.

Hope you're having fun and taking pictures.

The building actually got repainted this year to a more neutral blue-and-gray scheme to better fit in with the train station next to it. These old colors were the colors of the ride's old sponsor, Co-Go's, which left after last year.
