The Next Roller Coaster Coming To Kennywood

Рет қаралды 2,965

Күн бұрын

Let’s be real here, with Kennywood as my home park, it's a disappointment having their star attraction, Steel Curtain closed for the entire season. The park says it will be better in the long run as they improve the overall reliability of the attraction, however that still doesn't solve the gaping hole in their roller coaster lineup. Join me as I discuss what could be the next roller coaster coming to Kennywood.

My pipe dream if Steel Curtain were a flop and were to be removed would be a Mack hyper. Yes, I know Hyperia has had its hiccups, but Mack has an almost clean reliability history besides that one outlier. I think something like DC Rivals with some inversions sprinkled in would be a worthy successor.

I’d love for them to go with Vekoma and put a stc in the land back behind aero 360.

Same maybe their flying coaster (one of them would do great)

Id love that but i dont think they want to mess around back there because of kiddie land and the dropoff into the river

@@TravisBeaves if they converted pavilion 17 into the station and have the lift hill follow the tracks out past the river rapids and then do the majority of its course in around the ravine and Pr turnaround and then head back that it’d work. Or go the opposite way out and around to the ravine behind racer and back. Or relocate the building in between Racer/JR and use that area and hillside for a stc

I'm going to Kennywood on August 13th 2024 ! I'm super excited about it. It will be my 2nd time ever at Kennywood !!

Kennywood has such an inconsistent history of additions that it's super hard to guess their next addition. And it's not like they'll pick something merely because of a gap in their lineup. They aren't nearly that predictable. I think anything off the track would make sense so a B&M makes sense like you pointed out. And I agree that a hypercoaster wouldn't be a worthwhile investment. I'd love a heavily terrain based flyer or invert, especially if they added a tunnel or trench at some point.

Maybe Vekoma Flying or STC (if not then B&M)

@RealBlueony Ай бұрын

Would rather see a Vekoma STC than a B&M Invert, still fairly reliable both model and manufacturer-wise, but different from the bog-standard B&M invert. Otherwise, I think a B&M Surf Coaster would be good. Alternatively, a Vekoma or B&M family coaster launch coaster, or a Vekoma Family Boomerang would be great.

You get what you pay for. Kennywood went cheap but named it an iconic Yinzer name. I imagine if the name of the Coaster was not "Steel Curtain" Pittsburghers would have demanded the coaster be removed by now.

@corkscrewfoley Ай бұрын

I know this is a B&M post, but a Vekoma STC would be great. Yes, it's inverted, but it's different than the Beemers.

@Duffster115 Ай бұрын

I hope they get a new coaster soon, I do hope whatever they get has a better reliability, but with that said I don’t think curtain is as bad as most think. My personal dream is to see a large scale Ground Up RMC of some type at the park, but I would be fine with most additions but I want a big thrilling addition

@HockeyGUY66871 Ай бұрын

Id remove Steel Curtain and get a B&M invert

@Heatherofscots Ай бұрын

As soon as you started talking about B&M I thought of the surf coaster. I love Pipeline and I think it would be a big hit. It is unique and not too extreme for families. As you said, it would only be the second one in the world .

@hectorhernandeziii1010 Ай бұрын

Definitely kennywood needs a reliable coaster i also think that it is a travesty that steel curtain is down i've been looking forward to writing it when i go in august. as an idea for a new coaster it's difficult for me to say because there are many options that they can go with but i think a good family coaster could fit right in.

@Cadenmendenhall 29 күн бұрын

I love your opinion but i feel like the best thing kennywood could go for is a b&m invert. Theres no floor less coasters at kennywood and i think it would be a very good addition. your take is great tho

@78konjo 14 күн бұрын

If I were Kennywood I woukd go with Vekoma over B&M. Which brings me to my next point merging with yours, a flying coaster by Vekoma. Imagine something like F.L.Y. at kennywood with some theme and the terrain to play with. Would be unique and a huge hit

@cjhrinda Ай бұрын

Just went there 2 weeks ago!

@coasterfair2602 Ай бұрын

Another manufacture I could possibly see is Vekoma and if they do then one of their Suspected Thrill Coaster (it’s there version of B&M invert) or a new generation flying coaster from Vekoma

@jay37415 Ай бұрын

I completely agree. I think a Vekoma Invert or FLY would go perfectly in the Raging Rapids spot.

@MrCrash-hz8xy Ай бұрын

Ive been saying this for centuries now, the park needs a rmc! I was hoping for one before they even announced *STEEL FAILURE* rmc's are my favorite

@H3lue 28 күн бұрын

NO way Parques Reuindos invests in a B&M. I think we might be looking at Vekoma- if we are lucky. Perhaps 2nd gen flyer. However, there was a lot of progress made on creating the RMC in the valley behind racer. If I were to bet, that would be their next coaster. The only reason that they didn't go forward was that the permitting was taking too long. But much of the preliminary work was already in place for that. I know RMC has shied away from their Topper, but I think this unique of a wooden coaster with inversions would be the perfect fit for Kennywood, with an already great collection of classic woodies.

@zachliketogame Ай бұрын

Kennywood should add a RMC hybrid diving threw the ravine

@Cadenmendenhall 29 күн бұрын

it would’ve been a better choice to go with a rmc rather than a sns coaster that’s always unreliable

@972Blake Ай бұрын

RMC Hybrid I-Box built from the ground up would probably be the best if you like that style, if not a Raptor would be cool. Either way RMC makes a dependable product.

@mitchellries256 Ай бұрын

Before they add a new roller coaster, I would rather see them add a new flat ride or two, like a new drop tower to offer the same hillside views that Pitfall used to provide, and a star flyer for similar but more panoramic views.

@kennywooddom Ай бұрын

could you imagine a giga coaster it would the the first in pa and they can make it go down the hill i think a 300ft roller coaster would be sick they lack something with a big steep long drop or a rmc. they need something intense i feel like sky rocket is more of a family coaster then anything. they need something that would seem imposable too fit in the park but make it possible i feel they are lacking on a big coaster. yes they got steel and phantom but that's really it as in Hight all the other coasters are simple and small and when both roller coasters are down its seems to be a dry day or one last option would be something that's really fast

@CitizenTaco Ай бұрын

could you imagine the next Flying Dinosaur USJ at Kennywood? If they can manage to pull a Tatsu or something else with the terrain as well it could be one of the best USA 1-2 punches w/ PR even if Curtain does get torn down Another surf coaster would be cool too to a lesser degree but USA FD guys...

@MidnightRailfan Ай бұрын

I would really like to see an Inverted Gerstlauer Infinity coaster with a launch. They need a better launch coaster and they don't have a coaster that hangs under the track. Budget friendly and I believe their parent company likes to work with Gerstlauer.

@Cdubbz12 Ай бұрын

Honestly, Kennywood is my home park to. However I honestly prefer inversions over airtime, especially hang time so it’s basically upside down airtime 😂 anyways, I honestly am EXTREMELY hoping to see Kennywood invest into a new THRILL SEEKER coaster again, not just a family one. Honestly, I’d do anything for a ground up RMC with inversions and airtime especially into the phantom and thunderbolt areas… or even better IMO, I’d be obsessed if Kennywood were to put an extreme spinning coaster there that spins, goes upside down and has airtime, and maybe even a launch or two. Of course that’d be a dream come true, but we’ll have to wait and see what Kennywood does next. I really hope they don’t invest in a family ride again, but instead a full on extreme thrill ride. Sorry for the paragraph, this is just how I feel and what I am EXTREMELY hoping for within the next few years in Kennywood 😂😂

@HockeyGUY66871 Ай бұрын

We need an invert of some kind, the B&M invert fanboy in me wants them to demolish Steel Curtain and get a massive invert. Or even a Vekoma STC, but we need something below the track

After fixing steel curtain, Kennywood won't get another big coaster for at least 5 yrs. They will milk the "new" and improved steel curtain for the next 2-3 yrs. Then they will announce a new coaster, which will take 2 yrs to build.
