I was at Kennywood Park in Pittsburgh. The Park overlooks the Monongahela at the lock and damn by a steel mill. Just curious if the Monongahela is navigable above Pittsburgh for any of the Queens? Has the DQ ever been up this river?

Wesley, the first bridge the Queen would have to go under to attempt to travel south on the mighty Mon would be the Fort Pitt bridge, which is only 47 feet above the river. A little too low I think...going the other way, north up the Allegheny would have the same problem, I believe, this time with the Fort Duquesne bridge, or the bridge that Pittsburghers know and love as the Bridge to Nowhere. Where's Rege Cordick when you need him?
Kennywood, huh? Is the Thunderbolt, Racer and Jack Rabbit still there? Some of the finest wooden roller coasters in existence, my opinion. One of my first dates with Deb, more years ago than I want to admit, was at Kennywood. Sorry, I digress, not very on topic.
