Exterminator, Indoor roller coaster at Kennywood, West Mifflin, United States
The Exterminator is an indoor Wild Mouse coaster at Kennywood featuring spinning cars that navigate sharp turns and sudden drops. The ride moves through a dark enclosed space where cars whip around tight curves and unexpected changes in direction throughout the course.
The coaster opened in April 1999 and became the park's first indoor ride, marking a new direction for Kennywood's expansion. The manufacturer Reverchon created this spinning Wild Mouse specifically for this indoor setting.
The ride casts visitors as rats moving through an electrical substation while encountering props of mechanical exterminators and industrial machinery. This playful theming gives the experience a story beyond just the spinning motion and turns.
Visit during less crowded times since the ride is contained in a relatively small space and lines can build up quickly. Riders should expect darkness throughout, so visual landmarks are limited and sudden movements may feel more intense in the enclosed environment.
The furnace section uses red lights and fog effects that add layers of sensory detail to the industrial setting. These atmospheric touches make the spinning motion feel less mechanical and more like navigating through a living environment.
