I lived in Pittsburgh for 7 years and frequented this park several times a year in the '90s and early 2000s it was okay. It was very historic and nostalgic. I enjoyed the old wooden coasters and the racers. But I don't put it on the same scale as large parks. It's a quaint historic amusement park. But it's far from great at the time I was there it was the steel phantom I wasn't very impressed. And that was their flagship coaster. I would say it's more for young kids than amusement park enthusiasts. They just don't have the scale of rides that most amusement parks do. Most of their coasters would be considered the coaster you hit last at any other park. Other than the thunderbolt really nothing impressive there. I actually enjoyed the indoor coaster the most of everything there.​@@PhillipJames-pw1sz

Not to be argumentative but technically you are incorrect. The basis of the lawsuit is that indefinite closures are the point of discrepancy. It has nothing to do with the fine print of the pass, it has everything to do with the timing of the announcement. This is a suspected "bait and switch" scenario. The lawsuit will uncover the paper trail and will likely be a judgment based upon the lapse between determination of resolve and announcement to the public. In layman's terms, if there's a paper trail showing the park knew months ago, they could be liable for the cost of passes to anyone that fall under that window of a bait-and-switch scam. The only reason I am confident in this is because I have seen this exact situation play out about 10 years ago or so with a local "waterpark" that is more akin to a public pool, so take that for what it's worth.

Oh please. 🙄 What a total waste of any court’s time. If you’re buying a season pass to Kennywood just for one ride, you’ve got problems. I was there for the first time in mid-2021, and Steel Curtain was down. I was disappointed, but it’s just a ride. Also, I live in Orlando and have an annual pass to the Disney parks, and it costs nearly 7 times what Kennywood’s does. And that’s for a discounted Florida resident pass too. So don’t complain to me about an entire season pass for around $100. That’s a total bargain, and you have tons of other incredible rides at the park for that. I think people have been mindlessly buying into legal billboards along the freeway in PA.

Well, maybe Kennywood should have thought about that before selling season passes at full price. They should have been proactive and offered the holders a discount... But as it is, Kennywood is not worth $75.00 for a single day visit... the park is 96 acres total, parks 2-3x that size charge the same price and you get more attractions. word is they knew Steel Curtain would not open this year back int he fall of 2023... but they led people on like it would be, and only dropped the bombshell after season pass sales surpassed previous season records... so in essence it was a rug pull. Kennywood chose to build that ride and spent way less than it would have cost for a reliable B&M that could have been configured the same way... this is what happens when you go cheap the builder is known for problematic rollercoasters. When they owned lake compounce in Bristol, CT they spent money to build Boulder Dash but never spent money to maintain it, instead selling the park and letting the next sucker inherit the problems of roughness. Kennywood has had poor management for over a decade and unless they replace people it will continue to go downhill.

That is soo stupid!! They shouldnt be able to sue KENNYWOOD for that!!!¡!

This is a fine example of why everything cost so much. Kennywood will probably lose out on this lawsuit, but they will just jack up the future season pass rates so no one really wins. In America when you don’t get your own way, you just try to sue people. I find it hard to believe that people bought a season pass for one ride.

What an absolutely absurd lawsuit!!! $900 compensation on a $109 season pass for losing out on ONE RIDE. Now everyone else who visits the park who isnt apart of the lawsuit will be the ones paying more if the lawsuit goes through. What an absolute joke, and I hope a reasonable judge tosses it.

A refund is in order, not making $900 off of a $100 pass

I'm sorry but this is so stupid. Just because a ride isn't open, doesn't mean that u need to cry over it and start a lawsuit. This is completely normal for amusement parks. Just look at six flags, or Alton Towers when they closed nemesis.

This would never happen in the uk. We would just pay the annual pass price and when we found out a signature coaster would be closed afterwards everyone would just go “ok”. 😂

I understand it's not fair if they knew that this season it's gonna be shut down but on the other hand giving people way more than they paid for their passes is not the answer either $900 is ridiculous when you only paid the $106 for the lowest tier pass up to the 239 platinum pass they should just get their passes refunded and get a free season pass because giving them more money than they paid cause financial strain on the park and wind up closing the park and no one will ever write it ever again!

Geez, people are desperate. Their season pass is equivalent to a day pass in a Disney or Universal theme park 😂.

Disney charge $150+ for one day at the Magic Kingdom and people suing Kennywood for paying $109 for a season pass 😂

The people suing will actually regret this, if they win it will push up prices around the park and next year, entrance tickets and season passes prices will increase as well to compensate for the losses which will sadly effect everyone all for the pathetic reason that ONE ride is down all season Surely this will be thrown out of court anyway, they always state rides and attractions can be unavailable at anytime so surely this will be covered in their terms and conditions of the pass,also it’s ONE bloody ride, YES I would be massively disappointed but I wouldn’t be pathetic to try and sue, there is still lots of other great rides to enjoy at the park

I love Steel Curtain, yes, I am disappointed it will be closed again, but will that stop me from visiting Kennywood this year? Nope, with it being closed I'll go ride Phantom 2 times as make up. This case should be dismissed.

Yall mad over one roller coaster. Me and my family drove 6 hours to Kennywood in 2020 after checking their website and saying everything was open (I’m from NY State and at the time Pennsylvania had the Lowest Covid rates and restrictions) and when we got there almost half of the rides were closed, every time people got off the ride the sprayed it down then ran it again with no one on it to dry it off so that made lines almost wrapped around the whole ride. The black widow was closed, and people had to sit in every other seat on rides which meant that the ride couldn’t operate at full capacity and that made lines even longer. I was a kid at the time so I mean I still found fun in the experience but looking back I didn’t even get to experience about 25% of the park😂

meanwhile, i bought a season pass for disneyland where like 5 rides are consistantly down, not to mention the park closes early for the entire month of may for stupid star wars nights

No, this is stupid. There's plenty of attractions, and $100 for a season pass is a very fair price. Rides often are closed for maintenance and repairs, and the pass isn't for just one ride. It states on the website, the ride is closed. The question then would seem when that was posted online as the benchmark of when they decided what to do with the ride, either open as is, close for minor repairs, or close for a long term reimagining. Disney doesn't give refunds if space mountain is closed. Get real. This is such an instant gratification, sue happy world these days! Go enjoy the dang park, and I'm sure you'll get your money's worth! Jimminy Christmas!

I was going to come from Ohio just to ride this. It looks like something off a cartoon. I should have done it last year when I had the chance.

Why does it have to be a 'lawsuit'? Can't they just offer a refund and claim teh refund?

​@@SkyrushFanboyIt wasn't broken then, was it? An important part fell out and broke the ride while they were testing. So guess what? They had to close it! It's an extreme record breaking roller coaster, it's GOING TO BREAK.

@@floaque Are you implying that being a record breaking coaster makes it okay for it to be broken? My problem really isn't the ride being closed because it's only number 4th best in the park when it's open in my opinion, but because it's really shady for them to announce the closure last minute. Trust me, the company is desperate for money so I wouldn't be shocked. I blame s&s for the coaster being as unreliable as it is considering the manufacturer's past problematic coasters

@@SkyrushFanboy Yeah, that is. They break all the time, not just Steel Curtain. (Especially new ones). It is a bit shady, but ultimately you don't know when exactly it broke. It could've broke the day after they started selling passes.

Football is still a silly theme for a coaster.... what does it have anything to do with playing sports? On a side side they should of had discounts on season passes this year due to this ride being closed.

I csnt believe wtf the world has cime too when 1 ride is closed n these cry babies lose they minds over it this is sbout a quick payout and not about the steel curtain being closed if you can sue over this what prevents any customer for suing for any ride being closed at any even time during the year

You're missing the entire point. Kennywood (most likely) knew that Steel Curtain would be closed, but continued to market season passes without omitting Steel Curtain from the marketing.

@@jimkubak yes so lets sue them so they'll increase their costs to compensate and then everyone will be overcharged as a result. Great plan

Cause the puec of junk the ride is. Didn't this park get sold to a greedy company to milk as much money as they can off of western Pennsylvanians?

I kinda’ get it. It’s like a baseball team trading away all of its good players after the next year’s season tickets are sold.

I get the lawsuit. What I don’t get is $900 per passholder? Can someone show me the math for that?

I would prefer the ride be closed for safety maintenance than stay open and risk my life or anyone else's.

Kennywood facing a lawsuit for closing a ride? Ridiculous if you ask me. Hopefully Kennywood wins the case if this goes to court.

If you bought season passes expecting to ride the roller coasters, it's huge. They did not let people know ahead of time that the Steel Curtain would be closed before they purchased their passes

It may just be one ride, but when there aren't many comparable rides, losing that one ride is huge. Class action suit aside, they are going to take a massive hit from daily ticket buyers

Why sell season passes if people anticipated its opening yet the park likely knew ahead of time that it wasn't going to open this year? It's a fishy business practice and people have the right to know before buying.

@mikero6225 that doesn't really hold up when phantom's revenge is way better than it

I hope they all lose and have to cover court costs. What a bunch of entitled little babies.

Kennywood should have just left the log jammer alone. This coaster was a stupid idea from the beginning, it's been closed far more than being open and this replaced a classic ride that spent more time running in one season than this thing has since it's been built. These executives are jackasses

Coaster enthusiasts are nutty. So the lawyer is seeing $$$, if Kennywood loses, there go the ticket prices.

Better for it to be closed for safety if it’s not safe 😂 just go on the other rides people

I wouldn't ride it or the thunderbolt. READY TO FALL APART

Wooden coasters are safe I dont get how that myth even started

Be real. They're not gonna refund pass holders all because of one ride. People just have unrealistic expectations for the park. Riding rolller coasters is a privilege, not a right.

So whats a matter with the coaster? Looks pretty awesome to me

While testing it suddenly broke or some important part fell off from what I heard.

These people are acting like a bunch of little kids just because all because of 1 ride. Theres other rides to enjoy as well. It's so immature.

Everyone calling someone greedy, when the former owners sold the park for as much as possible to a greedy company that gives no fs about the park other than milk as much money as they can.

Wow, might have to start calling it "Pissy Pittsburgh" 🤣

Its a 9 million dollar piece of junk. Kennywood fell off. Wasn't the sky rocket closed mostly for the firs 5 years too?

The world is so soft everyone needs to sue for everything

🤪: Aah want maah 17 buckaroonies refunded!!!

These are people living paycheck to paycheck at home with mommy and daddy, your seriously upset that 1 ride is closed? I suggest you catch up real quick and dry your eyes you bunch of babies.. and if you're an adult and this upset you, you may have some mental problems, it's just a ride...

The pass holders will ose and have wasted their money. No amusement park ride is ever guaranteed to working period or not to close down for good. Entitled pass holders that will learn they are too entitled the hard way.
