Those planning a trip to several popular Pittsburgh-area amusement parks should be aware of an upcoming change to payment methods.
Kennywood, Sandcastle, and Idlewild are converting to a cashless payment process to provide a simpler and safer experience for visitors.
Beginning this week, visitors will be asked to use credit, debit, prepaid cards, or secure mobile payments to pay for tickets and treats.
Guests who still would like to use cash are invited to use new, free Cash to Card kiosks conveniently located through each park to convert up to $500 cash onto a prepaid card which can be used anywhere.
