went yesterday (May 29, 2010). The new coaster looks awesome.... they have VIP thingys fer some of the rides now..... They have one for the new ride to....
It honestly looks like an idiot made the video. I saw some pictures of the ride, and it looks great. But when I saw that video, the coaster made with NoLimits looked a 3yr old made it.
Kennywood is actually doing really well right now compared to other parks... While you may have enjoyed Steel Phantom alot of people will say they made the right decsion to remove the loops and change to layout of the ride and turn it into Phantoms Revenge... You will find the ride to be alot smoother now. And I think Sky Rocket will be a great addition and having ridden similar coasters you will truly enjoy the fast pace of the ride.
have yo been to kennywood? trying not to sound gay but its all about the history of the park and how a family owned companyies don't go bankrupt (burn)
Yep, Kennywood has an atmosphere SFMM doesn't have. Too bad you won't be able to enjoy that atmosphere at Kennywood this weekend after Thanksgivng -- because Kennywood will be CLOSED! SFMM, on the other hand, is open year round. In fact, now that I'm thinking of it, I just might go there this weekend and ride all those HUGE coasters over and over and over.... I'll enjoy the atmosphere there, too, while I'm at it!
Track length 2100 feet? 95 feet high? 50 m.p.h? 65 seconds long? These stats are not impressive for 2010... and I will not wait an hour to ride it. It's been over 40 YEARS since Kennywood had a new wooden rollercoaster! :-(
Im very excited for the new coaster!!! but with mixed emotions..... the turnpike holds many good memories for me. Yes I know it will be coming back, but being in a different location and track layout not soooo sure it will be quite the same!
Sky Rocket = BORING omg...i was SO dispointed!!! ='( It's ol PK, we'll just have to start making more lilke the Phantom's Revenge!!!

Kennywood isn't lame, its a classic amusement park.

Kennywood is lame. Six Flags Magic Mountain is SO much better -- 17 high-tech coasters with loops, corkscrews, speeds near 100 MPH, etc..

16 coasters..... Kennywood has an Atmosphere SFMM will never have. You don't need big rides to be a great park!
