Patch Poll: Are Beer Sales at Kennywood a Good Idea?

The amusement park is close to inking a deal for a beer garden.

 

Riders at Kennywood Park may soon be able to down some liquid courage before hopping on the amusement park’s more daring rides.

At a public hearing Wednesday, West Mifflin officials approved a liquor license transfer from a closed McKeesport restaurant to Kennywood, the Tribune Review reports.

If the Liquor Control Board approves the transfer, the family-friendly amusement park could begin selling beer in a designated “beer garden” by June.

According to the Trib’s report, Kennywood officials said they had a positive response from guests when beer was sold at the park during two weekends in September for Oktoberfest events and requests for the sale of beer have increased over the years.

What do you think? Is mixing beer with rides that spin you around and around a bad idea—or a good one? Do you think alcohol sales will fuel drunken mishaps at the park or lead to DUI arrests? Or, do you think selling beer in a responsible way will enhance the experience for guests.
