Kennywood debuts new Potato Smash bumper cars to kick off its latest season
WEST MIFFLIN (KDKA) - After thousands of votes from fans of the historic Pittsburgh park, the new bumper cars at Kennywood debuted.
The brand-new Potato Smash bumper cars were unveiled in March after a naming contest and more than 20,000 votes picked the name that pays homage to the iconic Potato Patch French Fries.
