    Description

    Eleventh version of Kennywood's 1901 Old Mill ride.

    In this version, the western theme of the previous version of the ride was entirely wiped out. The parts of the ride which were previously in the open air were covered during the retheme, creating a dark ride rather than a semi-dark ride. Garfield was introduced for the theme: riders join Garfield on a ride through his nightmare. 3D effects bring scenes to life, where Garfield's food goes wild.

    Apart from major changes to the ride, the queue line was changed for the first time since 1926. This version of the ride lasted until 2019, when the park decided to prompt a retheme dedicated to the original Old Mill.
