Scenic Railway, also referred to as Dip the Dips Scenic Railway, was a wooden roller coaster previously located at Kennywood in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, USA.

History

The ride was added in 1905.

When the park added the Great Western Train Hold-Up show in 1906, thousands of feet of canvas were attached to the Scenic Railway and painted to look like the prairie with the Nevada Mountains in the background.[1]

The ride was replaced by Speed-O-Plane in 1911.[2]
