It’s back! Take a virtual ride on Kennywood’s ‘new’ Old Mill

WEST MIFFLIN, Pa. — The Old Mill is back at Kennywood Park after 15 years as “Garfield’s Nightmare.”

The ride has a brand-new look that was designed, built and installed by the creative team at Scarehouse.

The ride has had many names through its 119-year history, but according to a release, many people knew it best as “Hard Headed Harold’s Horrendously Humorous Haunted Hideway,” which was the name from 1974 to 1991.

“Through a series of black-lit, captivating scenes that include the return of a train “gag” last scene in Kennywood’s Gold Rusher, OLD MILL riders will enjoy a new twist on this classic, five-minute attraction that floats along 1,000 feet of a water-filled trough,” a release described the ride.

The Old Mill now, for the first time, features Hard Headed Harold, a blue-eyed skeleton who lives in the Wild West and has a penchant for mischief-making.
