Summary
Three major Pennsylvania amusement parks—Kennywood, Sandcastle, and Idlewild—shut down Friday, July 17th, due to a Code Purple Air Quality Alert triggered by wildfire smoke drifting in from Canada and Minnesota. While the parks are closed for now, all valid tickets remain good for the rest of the season. Officials are monitoring air quality closely and plan to reopen as soon as conditions improve—so keep an eye out for updates and hope the smoke clears soon so summer fun can resume.
