My friend has this book on the Haunted Mansion. I haven't read it thoroughly, but it was pretty detailed and I liked it a lot. I wish they would have these kinds of books on other attractions.

The one I really love is the Imagineering book. Not strictly coasters, but I still love reading it from time to time: https://www.amazon.com/Walt-Disney-Imagineering-Behind-Dreams/dp/0786883723

My last trip to SFDK, I decided to wear a pair of my athletic/gym shorts, which have zippered pockets. They've since been deemed "my roller coaster shorts". They're lightweight, perfect to walk around in on a warm day and I never have to worry about what to do with my wallet, phone, keys, etc. Just zip the pockets up as I approach a ride and I'm done.

You can just search (Google or Amazon) for "sport shorts with zipper pockets", which should give you some good options. Here's an example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BN0HG1M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_8r.xzbEVRCFEB

"Roller Coasters, Flumes and Flying Saucers" is my all-time favorite book about the amusement industry. The author gives a detailed account of the birth of Arrow Dynamics through the memories and anecdotes of Ed Morgan and Karl Bacon. Many of the stories in this book deal with the development of the original rides at Disney Land. I read it myself back in 1999, and recently read it again with my son.

The first expansion into what is now Southwest Territory was technically for Rolling Thunder's entrance. They extended the path between Demon and Whizzer under the train tracks to get there. Then they extended the path by Demon and Splashwater Falls' exit to get to the Batman Stunt Show in 1993. Looking at Google Earth, they may have actually connected the path to the stunt show with the path to Rolling Thunder's entrance. I can't say for sure, because I never went to the stunt show, and I never rode Rolling Thunder after 1990 (it was unpopular, to say the least). Then they removed Rolling Thunder and put Viper's entrance in that spot, then filled everything in when they opened Southwest Territory in 1996.

I found out by reading Steven Wilson's book about Great America that they had plans for a Southwest Territory expansion from the very beginning of the park.

Recommend one of these on the back of your phone to get rid of the lanyard. You'll be able to fit those 3 cards in there.

Then I'd recommend a small camera bag for everything else. Maybe with a carabiner to clip onto a belt loop.

I need to have water with me in line, so I purchased a collapsible water bottle from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K17T5RW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Fits in my zippered cargo shorts pocket, which I also bought from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B6EBMYC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I like the unofficial book on Haunted Mansion as well, it covers some stuff the official Disney release does not https://www.amazon.com/Unauthorized-Story-Disneys-Haunted-Mansion/dp/1683900405/

My dad has a book on the history of Kennywood. I think this is it (Kennywood...: Roller Coaster Capital of the World https://www.amazon.com/dp/0961439254/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_tErVCbXC1Z87Y)

Mine would be a book titled, “Are You Chicken? A Coward’s Guide to Roller Coasters” by Robert Reynolds. Coasters have never scared me, but 10 year old me was obsessed with the pictures and text of this little book.
