Palace Entertainment, the company that operates Kennywood, Sandcastle, and Idlewild Park & Soak Zone, says the three parks will not open as scheduled next month. Statements on the parks’ websites do not provide new opening dates. Kennywood was scheduled to open on May 2nd…Idlewild on May 16th…Sandcastle on May 23rd.
Idlewild’s statement reads, “Because of the shutdown of preseason preparations, we know we won’t be ready to start our season as normally planned on Saturday, May 16. While it’s too soon to confidently provide an opening date, please know we remain committed to opening Idlewild and SoakZone this summer for you to enjoy as soon as safely possible.”
The statement then informs Season passholders that their 2020 pass will be extened until the end of June 2021 at no additional cost. They will then be offered 2021 extensions at a reduced rate.
Because of the business shutdown, Idlewild’s offices are not open and phone calls will not be answered. Contact may be made by email at guestrelations@idlewild.com.
