(West Mifflin, PA) Kennywood is tightening its chaperone policy for the summer, requiring all guests ages 15 and younger to be accompanied by a supervising adult age 21 or older. 

Kennywood General Manager Ricky Spicuzza announced the change yesterday after the park expanded its chaperone policy on two consecutive Saturdays in response to rumors of a possible unauthorized gathering. 

Under the previous policy, guests ages 17 and younger were required to be accompanied by an adult after 4 p.m. During the past two Saturdays, however, that requirement was in effect throughout the day.
