- S&S Worldwide is taking over Kennywood next year with their largest attraction ever, Steel Curtain! Not only will it have more inversions than any other in America, but it also will house the highest inversion in the world, at 197 feet! The ride looks absolutely nuts, so we're here to break it down so you can know what to expect when it opens!

For those criticizing the name and/or theme, Kennywood doesn’t care. Kennywood is a very regional park, and for most people in that region, the name Steel Curtain conjures anything but wimpy images. Bravo to Kennywood for actually connecting with the local area better than most any other amusement park out there.
I should clarify- if you are criticizing the name/theme and you do not live in Western PA, Kennywood does not care. If you're a coaster enthusiast from elsewhere, you're gonna go ride it regardless of theme because it's big and unique, and if you're a member of the GP from the area, the theme is likely to really connect.
still they shoulda made it a pittsburgh theme or maybe even penguins as they have had more recent success
Way I see it win win, Steelers fans world wide! They all over the world!
@@RANS87IROCZ all over no it wasn't even that good of a roller coaster I only rode it to troll with my cowboys jersey we have way more fans than u sorry hell the band wagoners will jump on the bucs and they'll have more fans than u nobody outside of Pennsylvania cares about the sqeelers sorry maybe a few but it's not like the cowboys or even the Yankees
@@yakamarezlife that's why when we have away games there's a good chance we still might out number the home crowd, Now this might not happen in Baltimore but out in LA or Arizona we got fans ready to rep
Steel Curtain is the nickname for the defense they had back when they won back to back Super Bowls. Anyone with a clue about football will get it. Pittsburgh is a Steel town, hell one of the biggest Steel mills is across the river from kennywood. I think it looks awesome and though the theming may not be everyone’s cup of tea I’m glad to see a coaster not named after a bird.
YoungGunner89 The name only raises images of shower curtains for those who didn’t grow up knowing the phrases Iron Curtain and Steel Curtain. For older (or culturally/historically aware) Americans, it makes perfect sense and is fitting for a coaster themed to the Steelers.
Taylor doesn’t get it lmao screw his opinion it won’t matter
I’m a huge football fan so the theme of the coaster is awesome to me. But that’s just me
I was hoping for Steely McBeam! LOL
YoungGunner89 "Steel Curtain is the nickname for the defense they had back when they won back to back Super Bowls."
Which was *HOW* long ago?
I’m from Pittsburgh and if any of you coaster boys are saying that the ride has a bad theme the locals will have a lot to say
WNYCoasters yep 👌🏻
Trueeeee
Don’t tell Mean Joe Green that either
WNYCoasters I agree it's no different than Carowinds themeing of a basketball team ,Fury 325 , Intimidator 305 for Dale Ernheart Sr , Harry Potter world , or anything Disney has done . Bottom line Kennywoods going to have the best ride for next year , coaster boys of Cedar Fair parks and Six Flags parks can't handle it !!!!!!!!! LOL ALOT !!!!!!!
Yeah I have a season pass to kennywood and go their all the time
Raven fans will “LOVE” this area of the park
Don't forget Browns fans!
Or cowboys
Or Bengals fans
I'm from Pittsburgh and think this is a bad idea. Kennywood has visitors from all around. Why would we want to make people from Cleveland or Baltimore feel unwelcome? Hell, even some of us from the area get sick of the Steelers.
Being from Baltimore and a Ravens fan I have mixed feelings on this. Personally I don’t care and would ride this in a heartbeat. However Baltimore, Cleveland, and Cincinnati are close-by cities (and host the other three AFC North teams). As a whole Baltimore does take football season more seriously than a majority of other cities. (I would not include Pittsburgh in that list.)
There is a potential to lose some business from these cities by alienating their fans. However, in the short run, people from all over will flock here to ride this for the same reason people are flocking to Cedar Point this year.
The other big card: reliability. Hopefully this monster is a reliable people eater and not a dormant volcano.
I bleed Black and Gold, Pittsburgh is my home town and I love the Steelers, This is gonna be a great coaster
SAME DUDE!!!!!!!!!!
same!
Jake Bros my fav team is The Ravens
Bleed purple so I can't ride this.
The banana roll will depend on the release of that Takabisha clone coming to the USA
M N true. that mall it is in is supposed to open in March, and construction on the ride has already started (have driven by it) so I think the clone will be first
Steel Phantom-> Phantoms revenge
Steel Curtain->Curtains revenge??? 😂😂😂
I feel like this coaster has a better chance of opening on time with less issues than Gale Force and Merlin's Mayhem. Gale Force ended up getting its issues fixed and Merlin's Mayhem's issues had more to due with construction delays on the station and theming. I definitely think Steel Curtain would sound silly to non-football fans, but I like the thoughtful local theme. I always love it when parks take pride in their geography.
Theme Park Crazy I know why they went with the name but come on, "Steel Curtain"? If you just sit and think that there is a legitimate roller coaster coming to Kennywood called steel curtain themed to football, it starts to get funny
If you know Pittsburgh and their culture, the only thing funny is the reaction from non-sports fan lol
Funny you mention geography, because my biggest complaint is this doesn't use any of the ravines and hills of the area the way most coasters in the park do.
The original leaked blueprints for a coaster had one placed behind the Jackrabbit and Racer in the ravine behind the park. The problem is, this project was cancelled. I heard two different reasons why. One was that the EPA blocked the construction because it was a habitat for a protected snail species. The second and more realistic reason was that the terrain in the ravine was too unstable for any major construction project, and the idea was scrapped.
National Coaster News that’s the nickname for the Steelers’ offensive line
It looks like a knex coaster
You Are Correct
It actually does,
That's were my first thoughts.
It does...lol.
The RollerCoasterDude THE BEST COMMENT THUS FAR 😂😂😂
unless you're from Pittsburgh, you won't understand. We bleed black and gold. football is life in Pittsburgh. I know I'm a little biased, but I love the theme! lol
Datsko exactly!
Datsko preach
Datsko yes!!
Steelers nation is stronger than blood. We have wierd quirks and love anything steelers theamed.
Yes!
Next they can add "Blitzburgh", a blitz coaster in the area
*Blitzburgh
UserName0043 right
Nick Kronz how about a Penguins theme ride Called “Le Magnifique” or “The Kid”
This coaster looks like it was designed by Josh from Kings Dominion.
Toronto Transit Fan no, it was designed by Johnny using Rollercoaster Tycoon!
Toronto Transit Fan true 😂😂😂😂
No it was designed by josh from kings dominion using roller coaster tycoon
Totally can tell you are not a "yinzer" plus the Steelers have one of the biggest fan bases in sports. It will be a hot.
I’m probably the only person who likes the name and is not a football fan
Ian C2022 SAME
Brooke Jonas me ass we’ll
I think of the iron curtain when I hear it, which brings up both dark ad well as awesome events from our recent history.
I think it is a cool name.
Me Too
Why did they not choose the name Ride of Steelers?
Kevin Schweickert oh man that's good😂
I hope Kennywood sees this cus that’s an awesome name
Six flags already trademarked it
Well they could have also gone with 'Steelers: The Ride'
Because they wanted the name to suck
They wanted to embarrass the Steelers
Am I the only one excited? I really think the layout is genius and refreshing. It's basically a hyper built focused inversions which is a really good concept that should be created. Instead of your typical 200 foot B&M hyper ZZZZzzzzzz
I know right what did people want? another rmc ANYTHING? so low capacity or same boring elements? or some random B&M I mean an invert would be cool but no need for a hyper with steel phantom's revenge being there. this coaster looks epic and i hope it paves the way for more like it even if much smaller with less inversions start getting built. actual innovation and a real steel coaster not some joke of a "conversion" or low capacity mess or "this is five bigger than the last coaster just like it we built 2-5 years ago."
Yeah I feel like kennywood needed something like this and it would be awesome!!!
Explanation of how the track doesn’t look like an s&s: the ride was designed in NoLimits 2, and they used the default track. The default track is supposed to be used for shwartzkopf coasters, but s&s used the style because it was probably the closest thing in the software.
Bleeve 942 good point!
Please tell me that was not the default track in NL2. If that’s the case then reliability and engineering can become potentially huge issues.
The reason being is it would show the ride hasn’t been prototyped, unless the NL2 presentation was deliberately done to not reveal details to their competitors.
alexinalexandria It is true, that is the default coaster track.
When I saw the first on ride I thought it was a Vekoma...
Don't be surprised if both the track and support locations look different once the coaster is built. I think this was an approximation to build hype but not reveal the final design.
Kennywood knows their crowd. I'm pretty sure 95% of the people that go there live in Pittsburgh and are huge Steelers fans. I think their attendance will skyrocket next year no pun intended.
Jacob Williams Pittsburgh*
Naia PlayzMC Thank you lol
True, I go there a lot and I always see people with Steelers hats and shirts and stickers on cars
Revisiting this 5 years later
You really nailed it by saying “I can see this being a ride that is plagued with issues” 😂
Kennywood is the first major park to officially announce their 2019 addition and they dropped the mic. It's gonna be hard for the other parks to follow this.
Looks like the track from the Looping Coaster from RCT1, 2, and 3.
“Looping Coaster 1 looks too intense for me.”
They should’ve called it The Iron Curtain and made it Soviet Union themed
But why tho
Yes
Maddox021 - Vyond and More Its not politically incorrect in the slightest. Naming a coaster after staling or breznhev, sure. But referencing the Ussr and or communism isn’t politically incorrect, its just a bad marketing decision in the US
Maddox021 - Vyond and More Honestly Nazis and Confederate references are on a different level than the USSR and I don’t think they should be compared
And then make a shop selling Adidas tracksuits and vodka, also constantly playing the Soviet National Anthem throughout the entire area. Entrance is free, in fact it is mandatory. (I stole that last part)
As a Steelers fan, it is really funny to hear him struggle with the Steelers references. Lol
To be honest, I’m really exited, kennywood is my favorite amusement park in existence and it needed a little something new
They really are bringing Steel Phantom back holy moly
You sure there pal
What does GP mean? I hear it all the time when I'm walking around and stuff. People were saying "GP" when I was in line for the Superman at Six Flags a while ago, which is the tallest coaster in the world I think, my favorite rollercoaster.
I hate the superman! I waited 4 hours for it and all it did was go up and down once!
XD What? Superman had like five loops and a big drop. Ur probably thinking of the king da ka?
This isn't even remotely a "GP comment." The park lost a coaster made of steel with inversions. "Sky Rocket" really didn't do much for that given it's completly different nature being a launch coaster and really random at that. "Steel Curtain" brings a coaster with a lot of solid inversions, and it's about time. so glad there's no rmc ANYTHING as rumored so much in past days.
conspiracy theory here.... this was originally supposed to be the first T-rex hence the wacky layout like the Raptors but kennywood wanted to go a bit cheaper so they took RMCs design and asked if S&S could do it.
Zonies Coasters honestly I wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the case
*I can believe that. Another Drachen Fire situation :/*
The Raptor coasters don’t have capacity. This can handle three times the people as a raptor coaster.
alexinalexandria that's why I said first t-rex
What's a T rex? I knew they were talking with Rmc so I expected one.
I'm super excited for this. One of the most unique roller coasters to come out in a long long time.
I went to Kennywood but it wasn’t done yet when I went there, so excited to ride it when it is done.👍😜
This is just real true innovation here. Not just another "oh let's get one of these" or "barely different." I actually think getting a steel coaster like this is more fitting for a park that has basically regular wooden or steel coasters, not B&M or intamin, etc. Do I think it'd be great if the park got a B&M invert to round out their lineup in like maybe 4-5 years? Yes. But it'll have three solid-probably 2 great steel coasters now. And it's wooden layout is pretty good, though i never got what is so great about thunderbolt. honestly, i'm mega jealous. But i can hope that even if not to this magnitude that this might mean a lot more parks may finally return to getting solid steel coasters and not just more low capacity stuff like raptors or rmcing every wooden coaster. The name is wierd though, but, also as not a sports fan, i honestly like the colors and the concept behind the area. I do think they should definitely either bring in some new flat rides (2-3) or move and retheme some, as to me, an "area' Isn't a coaster and some themed stuff. it's about as much of a "new section" as "golden kingdom" is a section at six flags gadv which basically consists of walking too far for a drop tower and a broken strata coaster (which i'm hoping they do add a ride over there and clean it up a bit).
I think Kennywood really needed a sponsor for something like this though, at least that's my take on the whole Steelers themeing
Bbabybear02 Cedar Fair purchase when
Bbabybear02 I only joke, but at the same time I can see CF being interested in the park. I know for a fact that they are interested in Holiday World.
Isn’t Thomas town a sponsor? 😂😂
Bobby T. I love your vids and always see you in the same comment sections as me so I just wanted to let you know you deserve a lot more subs for your pens videos. And I agree Kenny wood needed something like this to be sponsored.
Jus saw the announcement and was waiting for the analysis! I have to do something now but I’ll be back to watch later! I’m excited!
I grew up in Pittsburgh and I promise you, the locals (who keep Kennywood alive) will go nuts over the Steelers theme! It will be a huge success for the park.
I have a bad feeling about this
This thing is crazy
No unnecessary slow downs, stops, or mid-course brake runs?
Freaking Perfect and about time!
As a local from Pittsburgh I'd like to say that I am so excited for this. Yeah, people who hate the Steelers might not like it very much, but I've been waiting for something like this to come to Kennywood for a very long time. Pittsburgh is proud of their football team and a new addition like this will make everyone excited.
Dude your analysis of the coaster is awesome. You know more than most. But Kennywood is not a huge national attraction so the national appeal is overshadowed by the local appeal. Your lack of sports knowledge is evident. This attraction will kick ass. Trust me
Joe Heid it's not a lack of sports knowledge. Its a lack of respect for sports. Which a lot of people agree with. This is a gimmick. Theming had literally nothing to do with how good a ride is unless you're at Disney.
We found the Pitt fan
@@evangregory14 well said. He doesn't have to be a sports fan to respect how big the Steelers are here. Plus they have one of the biggest fanbases of any team for any sport on earth (ie Steelers bars everywhere from Phoenix to Australia)
S&S will work with Vekoma on this one.
S&S owns vekoma so...
tim how do you know?
+Brent Pisarek Wrong, Sansei Technologies owns S&S, and bought Vekoma. They seem to be (partially?) merging the two companies.
*KNOCK KNOCK* HEY, I HEARD YOU SAY VEKOMA
It looks Awesome! It's always great to see new roller coaster models revealed.
I think it looks really cool. We ate so used to seeing RMCs, B&Ms, Gerstlauers, etc. that it's kinda refreshing to see a highly anticipated coaster from S&S. Especially one this unique. We shall see I suppose, look forward to your review video!
I feel like I’m one of the only enthusiasts who like the name because I’m not a nerd and understand it and appreciate it unlike other enthusiasts who aren’t addicted to sports
Tad, you’re invited to my Barmitzvah
I love kennywood because I go every year plus phantom in kennywood is the tallest
I love your videos Taylor!! At first I was disappointed, but I watched a POV and was surprised.
I live twelve hours away from Kenny but I gotta check this out!!! I LOVE S&S COASTERS and can't wait to try this out
I wonder what they would do if the Steelers win the Super Bowl?
Uhh, throw a HUGE party??
They won’t
Nothing. They'd do nothing.
Go batshit insane
Change it to Steel championship curtain
I also kinda hate the name i made an advertising joke about it, the parody for this roller coaster will be great
PA Coaster Enthusiast let’s also not forget there was Steel Phantom. Maybe they just wanted steel again
The ride looks awesome and I love the theme... can’t wait to ride it! (:
Love Kennywood and super excited about the coaster and the Steelers country. Keep in mind there are Steelers fans all over the country. You can find Steelers bars in about every state.
Im early let me make a joke
Steel Curtain
Intamin Fanboy haha lol XD lmao lmfao roflmao 👌👌😂👌👌👌😂😂😂👌👌👌👌👌
S T E E L C U R T A I N
I Don't Get It
Intamin Fanboy Lets make another one:
You.
lmfao
I’m not much of a sports fan, but I’m really interested to see how this goes
Hershey Park: We have the tallest roller coaster in Pennsylvania!
Kennywood: Hold my beer
There’s so much hype around this coaster
My interpretation of this SC's announcement:
JonTron: _"excuse me whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat"_
True. Thought it would be a Mack hyper.
Voted in the September 2018 Silver Ticket Award as...The NFL Experience with a roller coaster
The Hawk it's to make a joke of the football theme
I think the theme is awesome and that’s coming from a lions fan that lives in Texas. Never been to kennywood but this coaster and the Steelers country section alone makes me want to take a visit now.
As a local, I love how Kennywood is embracing the Steelers theme... even though I don’t like sports that much. But because Pittsburgh is known for the Steelers, it’s about time they have a Pittsburgh ride. The coaster looks awesome though!
8:46 black and yellow. Black and yellow. Black and yellow. Black and yellow
Im a huge patriots fan and I love it
Will Jones yep! I’m from MA and planning a trip to go see all this lol!
Also, the themeing is actually perfect. The "Steel Curtain" was an iconic defensive line from one of the most successful times in Steelers history. This whole "Steelers Country" area will be very popular among locals as our football team is a great source of civic pride. It also looks like a good zone for the whole family with carnival games for kids who were put in black and gold onesies as soon as they were born. As someone who used to spend a lot of time waiting for dad to get off roller coasters I wasn't yet tall enough to ride, I like that they have all that in one place. Even though I don't care about football, I'll buy tickets as soon as they announce an opening date!
The name is great. The theme is great. If you were from here yu pu would love it. Anyway it is going to be really cool. All of us Pittsburgh people will love all of this!!!
Guess I am going to Kennywood next year
Infinite Ouya lol, you and every other enthusiast after we saw this announcement!😂 this will be the place to be next year!
Cedar Point this year, KennyWood next year lol, maybe Carowinds in 2020
This coaster has the most ugly support system I’ve ever seen. It looks like something I would build in No Limits (my support game is awful!)
look at Kärnan at hansa part; that thing is a sin
Sam Barnes it does look pretty terrible, but the amazing coaster makes up for it I’m sure. This looks awesome, I’m just skeptical with it being S&S.
Don’t say that at the park
one support fails and they all go down considering they're all connected
It's like a super sized El Loco structure.
This is gonna be great. I'm going on a PA park road trip next year, I have to check out Steel Curtain
I think we finally have the first fully dedicated Hyper Looping coaster since.. well, Steel Phantom, unless you count Flash Lewa Adventure, but that only has 2 inversions. This has NINE! It's like Steel Phantom reincarnated and made twice as Pittsburgh-y!
The highest inversion was gatekeeper
Mr. Crash Yeah, sure, but gatekeeper was had the tallest inversion in the US
You have to remember S&S doesn’t do the track for its free spins so they only have a few
Dang that was quick
This is my home park and I’m SOOO EXCITED FOR THIS
And people thought steel vengeance was a bad name...
Oh man it's curtains for Steel Curtain already
We Three People BJM Steel Vengeance is a far, far worse name on several levels. Steel Curtain is only confusing for those who don’t know the phrase’s history.
Yes it's confusing for people who don't know, which is why I don't like the name, since 99% of people don't know what that was.
MagnificentBISH No one in Pittsburgh would be confused by it, and few adults, but yes, teens and children who don’t come from the area might be confused. A better argument against the name is just that people outside the Steelers fanbase won’t share the love. It’s an iffy thing to name a coaster after a sports franchise.
But you can shorten it to SteVe.....and that's fun to call a coaster by a human name.......
Idk anymore
I was at Great America today and while in line for American Eagle, one of the operaters said "Enjoy your ride on Vertical Velocity".
I love how it looks.
If I go to Kennywood anytime after this opens, I’m going to purposely wear my raiders shirt and hat
Caleb Reese lol and I’m gonna wear my browns shirt
You would most likely get a lot more respect than someone wearing a Ravens or Pats jersey. Hell, even a Browns jersey will only get look of sympathy these days. What the hell happened to yinz guys? Used to be such a great series.
Literally nobody cares about the stupid Las Vegas raiders
I will wear a Seahawks shirt
exiledrabbit fun fact: they’re still in Oakland bro
Love the theming. Love the color scheme. Love Everything.
As a local whose been a bit ticked off about the Log Jammer removal and the Thomas Town stuff, I absolutely love this. This is a locals dream come true. To be honest, I sorta cried with joy during the reveal. I am very excited for this and I feel personally that Kennywood won 2019.
I like it because it is different and looks like it would be a cool ride... looking forward to it..
2:12 The Heart Roll
This is a coaster build and designed by vekoma but now that s&s owns vekoma they just put their name on it, you can see that the coastertrack is vekoma and some of the inversions are also typical vekoma. I do kinda love it already tho!
+Jochem Keepertje S&S doesn't own Vekoma, Sansei Technologies owns both S&S and Vekoma. Sansei seems to have started to kind of merge the two companies.
I’m so psyched to ride this!
Great vid bro!
If Taylor was an NFL fan, his favorite team would be the Ravens. I’m saying that because he lives in Virginia.
Coaster Jackson ummm the redskins?
ThunderMcKing the redskins do not exist and you can’t convince me otherwise
Kyle Fronheiser they’re only a proxy team
Deathclon Gaming, Virginia doesn’t have an NFL team, so the Ravens or Redskins are your best bet.
Thunder McKing, I totally forgot about the Redskins, but he seems like a Ravens fan anyway. I’m not bias, (I’m a Lions fan anyway) I just forgot about the Washington Redskins.
I feel like this might be a big failure.
Teddy's Lift World same. Considering how rough S&S coasters are known for
It might not, take a look at vekomas new coasters like Lech coaster.
This coaster and attraction is going to bring tons of fans to this park. This part of the park isn’t being made for people who aren’t locals or fans of the Steelers. Who usually goes to theme parks that aren’t really themed? Locals, like all the Six Flags, it’s locals that go. They want to please the football fans in the area. The Steelers have millions of fans, and even if the coaster is terrible, it’s going to bring thousands of new people to that park a year. I’m going to drive 5 hours just to ride it!
C Rizzy as far as I know the s&s vest restraints are fairly loose so there’s potential for airtime
I just think it will be a failure because S&S has had problems before. Hypersonic XLC, Ring Racer, Twist Coaster Robin, etc.
As a big Steelers fan, I’m so pumped for this!
I just watched the news on RUclips and Steel Curtain is opening before the rest of Steelers country. Let’s hope it does
It looks wrong to me, the layout looks cool but the whole setup and supports look ugly
Josh Kirkham the supports are the same as the ones at Heinz field to go with the football theme. But yeah, ugly.
Jason Burnette it’s not just that the colour of the supports really doesn’t work for me with the surrounding area, like I know what the colours represent but I think it would’ve looked better with black supports and orange track
If the ride was called "Curtain of Steel" that would be an improvement on "Steel Curtain".
XBCPGamer29 your not a yinzer
"Steel Curtain: Ride Of Steel"
yeah
XBCPGamer29 Do you know what Steel Curtain refers to lmao
XBCPGamer29 You clearly don’t know what it refers to.
THE ANIMATION IS NO LIMITS LMAO
I never said it wasn't.
Great looking ride
I think this is a dumber name than "Mine Blower". That says something.
who on earth gives a mine the s**c
10 000 Subscribers Without A Video Challenge fair point
Probably because you’re not from Pittsburgh.
Eccentric Gamer And he’s too young to get the history behind the phrase.
I think they're kinda tied. I'm from Orlando and I absolutely HATE the name Mine Blower (what does that even mean?) and was very disappointed when they announced it. This one isn't much better with a name pining for a football team. The whole area and idea is lame but the coaster itself looks fun. I just think parks should keep their biased love to themselves and just make coasters.
As a ravens fan and a coaster fan this one hurts. This coaster is so awesome but it’s themed after the team I hate the most 🤦🏾♂️ i wonder if they’ll let me ride this ride with a ravens shirt on 😂 because I guarantee you that I will be wearing my ravens gear just to troll. go Ravens.
Ravens suck. Go Steelers :)
Football sucks. Go roller coasters
GO BROWNS!
GO BROWNS! Wooo
Super Bowl LII champs, im calling it
T dog650 you kidding me? The Browns are not only one of the most beloved teams right now, but they just had a perfect season. You didn't. We also nearly had a perfect season the year before. You didn't.
cant wait to ride it
I Cant wait to ride this coaster Next year Kennywood is my home park
Eh Steel Curtain is actually a powerful defensive move in football.
No its not. Its the name of the 1970s Steelers defense.
Kaspersetz Slide Studios no its the steelers defense in the 70’s when they were at their prime
I don’t like it... the theme makes me sad, ruins the ride and ruins the classic feel of Kennywood!!!
Definitely. No matter how well they blend it in, it will be too modern for the area of the park. Racer is right next to it which just adds to the poor feeling this will give kennywood.
I know right? This is supposed to have an old feel! Gosh the Steelers sure do ruin everything
Every park has to move on. If you look at it one way, with the exception of the loss of Log Jammer, everything else will still be there, only with a little bit of an eyesore there. Plus, the area of the park with Aero 360 where it’s headed is one of the park’s most modern areas
MagnificentBISH exactly, and the theme was one of the things I was most exited and anticipating.
Carson Rocky I know, I hope a miracle happens and they decide to go with a plan B, like how Six Flags Great adventure announced the Joker took over the ride, mabye they will accounts something like “Breaking news, people have seen strange events taking place in the local forest and rumors of a cursed area of the woods has forced the construction area to be temporarily closed” and then they realize teasers showing a different colored ride and a fake police report or something about how the curse of the woods vandalized the coaster by painting it brown or black or green or something, they change the name and color scheme and work it in to the theme of the ride and the teasing campaign like what sixflags did with total mayhem
The Kennywood sign is black and gold.
Looking forward to this ride
So you say it sucks ,well then so does the themeing of Six Flags with their super heros , Carowinds themeing of a basketball team , the Charlotte Hornets for Fury 325 , Intimidator 305 for the late Dale Ernheart Sr , and the whole Harry Potter world ,which I think the movies are silly stupid , and all of the Disney themeing , your just mad because next year , Kennywood will have the best ride !!!!!!!!!!!! Not Cedar Fair or Six Flags !!!!!!!!!!
The others, sure. But fury is not themed to the Charlotte hornets it’s themed to the hornets nest of rebellion.
when i hear steel curtain i hear communism
Zonies Coasters When locals hear Steel Curtain, they think Joe Greene, Ernie Holmes. Trust me. This will work.
Lol, commies love the iron curtain. Just a slight difference in name.
Every real football fan knows what the steel curtain is.
Tara-Jo Archer well not everyone cares about American football just like not everyone cares about roller coasters
Zonies Coasters well then it’s obvious kennywood is doing this for locals and fans of the Steelers and not people who are going to find every way to complain over a a fuckin theme of a roller coaster
I’m not a Steelers fan, but I love the theme. I feel like it’s gonna open the door for some new stuff.
HEY! YOU STOLE MY CURTAIN!
