It would have been amazing to have footage of the original Phantom that caused so many injuries! I felt like my retinas detached at the bottom of the 5G turn on the bottom of the 220-foot drop. So happy it was re-imagined!

i was barely tall enough to start riding it before it went away, my head bounced back and forth so much i got massive headaches, then the new one comes out, there is nothing holding my shoulders back, nothing to hurt myself on, and i try to duck when it goes under and smack my head.

I remember it being fun as long as I remembered to press my head back against the seat. It was intense and I remember it took a few minutes after the ride was over for me to feel normal. I haven't been to KW since 1995 moved from the area in 1998, so I was bummed to find out it changed through yt and that the Log Jammer is gone. Glad to see the woodies are being preserved though.

Just went to kennywood after 30 years finding out about it. It is such a unique park. So much history. Love all the rides.

Kennywood is such a little gem of a park. My first visit as an adult was a few months back... Nice and small, easy to knock everything out in less than a day if you wanted, but also packed with enough things to do in such a small footprint you could spend all day there. Love all the historical rides. Park for sure gives off those old timey vibes but in a great way. And the coasters are really top notch.

I love the Exterminator video where it was a split so you could watch both in the dark and with the lights on. Also liked the audio on it too.

I’m 74 and in Chicago. Never heard of Kennywood, but I’m going there for a weekend.

Huh?

I've never been to Kennywood while the Steel Curtain was open. I'm floored at how long it seems to last compared to the Sky Rocket. It looks like a very distinctive and unique ride. I'm not afraid of loops, but I do have to say, I prefer the Phantom because it's a bit more scenic. Giving you cool views and angles of the park without the neck jerks, allowing you to smoothly take it in. However, I love the part at 13:15, where it almost touches the water. And a nice aerial overview of those sitting areas on the left. I also admire the view at 12:39. That's gotta be one of the tallest views in Kennywood-after marveling at the view from the top of the Phantom, this is a cool new perspective. 12:47 had a nice straight soaring motion that looked satisfying. I look forward to trying the Steel Curtain at least once in my lifetime.

Best coaster would have been seeing the Log Jammer still up and running.

This makes me so homesick!🥺

The worst part about the Phantom's Revenge is that it's too short lol. Will forever be my favorite amusement park ride of all time. Probably based on nostalgia alone. There's something ethereal reminiscing about a warm summer day in my childhood, standing in line, looking to my right and seeing the glorious river and mills. Then seeing everything from far above at the coaster's peak. Riding so close to The Turtle ride-which I once rode before I was tall enough to ride the Phantom, and always longingly gazed at from below. The parts dipping under the other roller coaster, or the loop at the end surrounded by greenery, are forever engrained in my memory. I think I came here on an uncrowded weekday once, and was able to ride the Phantom over and over again until the park closed. I haven't been to Kennywood since 2016 but I've thought about it every summer since.

Lived in Pittsburgh my whole life. Been to kennywood too many times to count. My first coaster was the jack rabbit and decades later it was my sons first coaster, too. Wonderful place to make memories with the family. ❤

Happy National Rollercoaster Day 🎢 Kennywood

*LOVE* the paint job on the Phantom's Revenge.

The concept of racing 2 coasters is one I'm VERY suprised hasn't been duplicated more in other parks. Looking back on the concept it's so ahead of it's time

"Sky Rocket" is an underrated coaster! Sure, it's not "huge", But man it's a "rush" to ride! 👍😊👍

That is a long wild mouse with the best theming ever.

Wow wasn't there when the Steel Curtain was open yet!! Looks like an upgraded Sky Rocket!!

I love Kennywood so much

went to Kennywood 3 days ago

i’m excited to go this thursday when the band goes for my school and i’m gonna try the exterminator, then i would of been on every roller coaster there.

I wish the Steel Coaster was open. Everytime I go it's closed. 🥺 I've ridden it once and it was amazing. But the last 3 times I visited it was down. It's just to expensive to go when your fave rides are down.

i remember going on the jack rabbit so many times when i think i was 4-6 years old (2014-16) probably about 30 times or maybe more and when i came back when i was 9 i started crying maybe i missed it since i moved to florida

i love kennywood sm

When I was in Jack Rabbit, The ride was flying yesterday😊

I remember being terrified of the Jackrabbit when I was younger, now Im about to ride Steel Curtain and (maybe) Phantoms Revenge when I go to Kennywood in two days

The wild thing to me is that "Phantom's Revenge" configuration has been around almost two and a half times as long as the original "Steel Phantom" configuration, but me and my siblings STILL call it the "Steel Phantom"! This is the equivalent of an older person calling the Thunderbolt; "The Pippin"! 😳

Really wish the exterminator audio was able to play that audio makes it seem so much more fun

For some reason as I get older the Thunderbolt becomes more fun. I love the Phantom and Steel Curtain, but there's just something about Thunderbolt.

Planning a Pennsylvania park trip next year so I’ll likely get to check these all out

It always feels so much longer when you’re actually on it

I love your roller coasters

The Thunderbolt didn't exist until at least the `60's. Before that, it was a completely different coaster called, The Pippin. It was the only coaster to start on level ground and then go DOWN instead of up. Unless they've changed it, that's not how The Thunderbolt starts! The first dip is IMMEDIATELY after the ride starts! There's no lead-up to it!

I’m going today! 🎢🎠🎡

Making that roller coasters in Minecraft was fun😊

When did the audio for the Exterminator change? Or is that manually added for the video?

Why is the lift on steel curtain so slow?

I went today for the first time. Phantom’s Revenge is great. The 2nd drop is a MFer. Sky Rocket was a instant rush but that 2nd half is snoozefest lol. Of course Racer and Steel Curtain were closed 🙄. Thunderbolt was ok.

Only 3 of these look exciting

I like Racer

I remember my first time on the exterminator and me and my friend were screaming for our lives

Thought the Track for Phantoms Revenge was Green? Did they Paint it recently? Haven’t been out there in ages.

I had the same announcer for Jack Rabbit too

I’ve been on the steel curtain, it was only black. (I fainted)

I’m going to fright night any tips?

Why does the track change halfway through skyrocket? Did they have budget cuts or something lol

Hiii #JACKRABBITISICONIC CHAIN also i preference past and present, phantoms revenge is fun, racers, jackrabbit, My first upside-down one was Skyrocket, I loved it I wish there was a seat belt because I get lifted up more than the jackrabbit does on the double drop plus the phantoms revenge. Lol, I was ruined after that

They wouldn't be able to afford an RMC, plus they wouldn't RMC their historic woodies, they would have to have a single rail or hybrid from ground up. They probably couldn't afford it, but wouldn't mind a B&M Floorless or Invert there.

Fun fact I’m actually 1 day older than sky rocket

I have a story to tell I was lost and never rode on a roller coaster before and my sister was at the jackrabbit and I axidently went on the steel certen and when I got of I told her that was the worst beginning roller coaster of all time and this also happened to my friend
