  • when i went to kennywood we had to wait 10 minutes the first time and then we had to wait 2 minutes to get the front car

  • oh wow thats a big crowd whenever i go its never that big of a crowd i can usually walk up to the bridge almost in the station woow

  • i love this ride with a passion

    those bunny hills are awesome XD

  • If you guys are watching this because your going to kennywood, The line for this is NEVER that long, it usually around 10 minuts. I know because I live in Pittsburgh and I go there 3 times a year

  • whats funny is that i was there today and it was sunny, no clouds, and we rode the phantom multiple times because there was literally no line.

  • How long did you wait in this line? That is if you can remember since this was like 10 years ago, haha!

  • @hymnsinger5 If I remember correctly, this line took at least an hour to get through, maybe a little more. It was taken during the first season and they were only operating one train throughout the whole season. That didn't help the line situation

  • its sooo fast u cant even feel when u goin down the hill. omg going on saturday with my bff cant wait

  • kennywood! :) i was just there yesterday. i hate rollercoasters though....i could only ride 2 rollercoasters there, the exterminator and the racer! haha.

  • what state is this in? i went on the one in Pittsburg. i went on the phontom yesterday and i could not stay on the seat my arm had a bump from where i hit it on the side of it

  • @superrockstar411 This is the Phantom from Pittsburgh. So it would be the same one you went on. As far as I know there is only one Phantom's Revenge and this is it.

  • @kpdave oh ok bc it the location where the line was looked diff but it was not backed up tht much so tht could b it

  • @superrockstar411 I would suppose that the line would look different now. This video was filmed during the rides first year. So combining it being the first year and the fact that they only ran one train all year long (two train operation didn't start until the second year) and you get super long lines like this.

  • @kpdave yeah the line is just a straight run from the building over to the music express now. and it really never makes it longer than a 30 min line except on like special days

  • Best ride in kennywood. I was just there yesterday, thinking of what it was like when kennywood first started these rides. Now when I go on the phantoms revenge, I realize that it's way different than before!

  • 2:08  Is the line for this always that long? Or was this filmed on a busy day?

  • @ddotg8 This was filmed in the first year of operation for the ride. At that time they were only using ONE train all day long, all season. Hence the very long line. They didn't start using the second train until the second year.

  • @kpdave Oh ok cool. Thanks for the reply!

  • does this ride have amazing air time? it looks like it does.

  • AHHHH BIG DROP!

  • no, they don't use tickets anymore, you can go on whatever you want, as many times as you want with an all-day pass. its soo awesome. favorite park and ride ever. AMEN TO THAT

  • I just noticed; for such a short ride, it really packs a kick in the ass :D

  • yay!

  • I just learned about rollercoaster forces and motion!

  • Is there EVER a time when the lines are nonexistent?

  • @iSpeed09 I actually just went on Thursday, and typically the line is never as long as it is in the video, but normally you have to wait a little on the bridge near the station, but I didn't on Thursday. I was in the station in line with only two people in front of me. The line only took five minutes!

  • I Like how they set that out like that: Front: Extreme Exposure -Fastest over peak of hill -Feeling of being pushed over top of hill -Visual thrill -Lots of wind so it feels faster Middle: Weightless Dream -Greatest weightless sensation -Picture-perfect experience: ride was designed for this seat Back: Rough Rider -Fastest during drops -Feeling of being bounced out of seat
  • cool facts! Also, this is the coolest multi-view video of a coaster that ever seen. Great job. Keep it up!

  • im going today. cant wait! lol

  • im a roller coaster fan. and i live maybe 40 min drive from kennywood.its an ok place to go, but my complaint is lack of rides...lack of coasters.thats why i hardly go to kennywood... id much rather drive 3 hours north to cedar point, which is prob the best park on this planet.

  • isn't the loop gone?

  • @zzzsonic Yeah before they took it away it was called something else.

  • @thesupermario64247 Steel phantom right?

  • @dubsarecoolfool yeah I believe so

  • @dubsarecoolfool Yeah i believe so

  • Man, I would hate to be in that line!

  • Get a pass!

  • nice vid

  • does this park still use tickets because that kinda sucks, and wow thats a long line,and steel phanotom looks way better but this is still cool

  • lol u can hear Noahs Ark in the backround

  • I remember when I was younger me and my sister were afraid of this ride lol. a couple years later rode it

  • Is this a hyper coaster?

    Also it says it does not have an engine? What powers the lift?

  • @djlowtek they mean like theres no engine pushing the car through the course

  • this is the best ride at kennywood! even if the lines are long they still go by fast

  • Does this ride only have one train?

  • No, they use two trains during normal operations. However they did have to use only one train for the first year. They had problems with the speed on certain parts of the track and had to add some check brakes before running two trains.

  • no it has 2 but no seat belts

  • @TexasGiant96 No theres 2

  • this ride is killer!i have ben on it once...and yes on like a sunny day there is a long ride for all of the rides.

  • @MrGagfilmsfan especially at night this ride is smokin fast

  • Comment removed

  • is this a physics lesson?

  • Holy line!

  • This is a fun ride.

  • how bad is the line for this coaster? looks terrible.

    is it always like this?

  • there is always somewhat of a line depends on the day if it's a sunny warm day there is a long line if it is somewhat cloudy and coldish out there will be no line.

  • The Phantom is my favorite Roller coaster ever!

  • i cant wait till i ride this for the first time i love the sounds the ride makes then its going espaccily the sound going up the lift hill its the BEST!!!!!!!!!!

  • When I first rode it, I though my head would hit the Thunderbolt when you go into the long dip into the ravine. That's what scared the sh*t outta me...

  • Comment removed

  • u can get an armband

  • i live in pittsburgh and my gram has a pass that 2 peple can go in free

  • you have to use tickets??? 0:02 4 tickets??

  • i like closed my eyes and screamed the whole time...

  • damn, i really want to ride this!

  • i rode it and it was FREAKING SWEET!

  • i rode this yesterday but i expected more from it

  • you can tell that the lift is still an arrow lift left over from the steel phantom it sounds exactly like the lift on the magnum xl 200 at cedar point

  • I cantt waitt to goo nextt weekendd! :)

  • what do yall think kennywood might put in either next year or 2011 i hope it be a roller coaster with alot of loops cause the steel phantom is gone. we need a coaster with loops like bad

  • well its not going to be a coaster, it would prolly be like the max air thats at cedar point, but no coaster :(

  • i know right we need somethin dat goes upside. steel phantom's 4 loops are gone forever we need somethin dat does upside down alot of times. i could see kennywood with at least 2 or 3 more coasters

  • they dont have enough land though to get a coaster, the only up side down rides at kennyowdd i know of are, VOLCANO, AERO 360, and thats all i know of right now, they should of put a loop in THE EXTERMINATOR and i think that ride would just give them more guests and money

  • yeah i know. the park is still fun doe but they made a huge mistake taken da loops out they could have slowed dem down more

  • Kennywood is getting a launch coaster with 4 inversions in 2010

  • its gona have 3 inversions i think dats what they said but phantom's revenge ima alwayz respect this ride but as far as the 2010 season im not gona ride da revenge that much anymore. i cant believe this im freakin happy as ever.

  • oh haha. idk if it's 3 er 4 but isnt dat awesome?!

  • @213caliboy1 There is this new set of words. the are, that, im going to, always, and the. OMG i did not know those existed and make you sound like an smart person.

  • im going tom.

  • the ride sucks now since they fucked in 2000

  • you are so right steel phantom was a legend i think they should put it back in. the only thing i still like about this ride is the 3 drops now the rest of this ride sucks.

  • I work at this ride!! this and the Pitt Fall!! the line is never that long.. we can usually keep it to like 15-30 minutes. and we no longer have those little facts to read while waiting in line =/ but it is a great ride!!!

  • Big roller coaster. My friends wanted me to go on it with them a couple of years ago, but I couldnt because I am afraid of heights.

  • ohmygawd, for lines this long.

    you know what would be genious and less irritating.

    those types of chairs tht travel on those convater belts.

    it would be cool. although there would be some faults

  • It's cool to have those factoids there (I never knew that stuff about where to sit for which type of experience). And you need something to read in the line!

  • wat r u goin about? there just shorten versions of words. im not tryin 2 b "homegirl" every1 types like dat on youtube and in text messages. where hav u been da bottom of da ocean?

  • whoa!... big line, when i went, it took like only 10 mins.!!! i was in the 2nd seat!!! and i was in the 6th seat 2 x's!!!

  • I went yesterday and this is the best ride!

  • im goin g tuesday =)

  • Im going on satuurday!!!

  • datz kool. iz it a school picnic?

  • Kennywood is da best place eva! Da park is so classical and vintage, the rides r amazing! and da food is delicous. I cnt wait 2 go on monday! my school's picnic is that day. n I cnt wait 2 ride da phantoms revenge wit my friends!

  • im never riding this its freaking terryfing

  • its not bad at all

  • are you sure~!!!

  • try goin on by urself. I did dat once n.....well it was kinda scary. but so much fun at da same time.....but i think its so much better 2 hav a riding partner on dis ride. plus i luv to laugh at my friends terrifying screams.

  • the bunnyhop @ 4:23 looks painfull!!!

    is it?

  • no its relly fun

  • this video is to long

  • im from pittsburgh

  • disney world in florida is better. its the best theme park ever since 1971

  • well duh its way bigger T__T

  • bigger isn't always better. i'd personally prefer kennywood over disney world anyday. been there 3 times. disney world is too crowded, too expensive, and a lil over rated. thats just my opinion. sure its cool and all, but kennywood has a charm and warmth that no other park in the world will ever come close to.

  • @crucialconflict02 if you like that try Busch Gardens Williamsburg

  • Disney sucks,i've been there before.

    There characters barely walk around.

    Way too hot,overpriced and crowded.

  • DJ why did you call me today

  • Because! I had too! lol

  • stifler0099 AliceFan94 is going to Kennywood with me. What rides are you going on?

  • MATTTTT!!!! STOP ASKING EVERYONE THAT! lol

  • The line has not been that long in years, thank goodness. That's one of the things Kennywood has over bigger theme parks-fast moving lines!

  • does anyone recommend this coaster for people that are afraid of heights?

  • I don't recomend it, on the other hand it is a very fast ride and i love it! I am afraid of heights but i still go on it! I am going this Saturday!

  • im afraid of heights and i love it too im also going on satruday you going for school or just going

  • Yeah i am going with my school and with my friends. haha

  • so am i

    beaver area?

  • Oops! I hit the wrong button. I am from the Freeport area.

  • I am going to Kennywood next week for my school picnic!! I will ride Phantom's Revenge(1st time), Thunderbolt (1st time) Racer (first time), and the Jack Rabbit for the 2nd time.

  • the exterminator does have long line ! omg, but not when yu go in tha mornin tho :] but i <3 this rollacoaster !

  • I know they say its a 30 min wait once you get in the building but its at least 45 min plus i hate the video they play over and over again.

  • I hate that damn annoying false siren they give off. Warning...Warning....so fucking annoying. It's a fun ride though.

  • I guess it does have a pretty fast line but i never go when its like that

  • This one is SO much better than the Steel Phantom!! Smoother ride when compared to the other at Kennywood. I'm kind of sick of Kennywood though... been there TOO many times!!

  • mammal567 I heard it is scarier than the Thunderbolt and it is faster and taller but I hear it is a lot of fun. Going to kennywood May 9th for the Freeport Area school picnic!!

  • a lottttttttttttt scarier. lol

    and alot funner.

  • kenny wood is still fun but it does not compare to cedar point

  • Cedar Point is better. Pshhh.

  • not the only reason. cedar point is in a beautiful, scenic area on surrounded by water. this is next to a terrible industrial zone. fuck it looks terrible.

  • fuck u

  • thts because cedar point is the best bark in the world.

  • i think the wholoe bloody lot of ya are stupid

  • congrats! this vid is the video of the week on my friday nite show on youtube. you can find me at Twilightfreak303. thanx and congrats again

  • 2011 season will be the phantom's last season. read about it on the net. the new owners are puttin somethin better in

  • serious??????????

  • god that was a fun rollercoster

  • Btw the line in this is huge!! Never in my life have I seen it anywhere near that long. This must be when it first opened after it got changed into Phantom's Revenge or something.

  • Yes I filmed the part which included the queue line during Phantoms Revenge first season. Other parts were filmed in subsequent years.

  • did u hear about the phantom's replacement in 2011.

  • you're the second one that has mentioned it here. Please don't take offense but I'll wait till I hear it from park officials. It seems curious that if they were going to take it out in 2011 or 2012 that they would have taken the time to replace a major portion of the track that was from the original Phantom. So it sounds kind of fishy to me. Again please take no offense that I'm not quite believing this.

  • people keep drivin me up the wall sayin that there tearin it down. they are not tearing it down.

  • i go to kennywood at least twice a year, and the line is NEVER that long - i guess this was filmed the year that it opened??. its usually about a 20 min wait.

  • I've ridden this coaster more times than I can even name, in probably every seat, but mainly the front, and I must say...it must just be my favorite coaster. And I've been on a lot of good ones. I've even been on the Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point and I still get more enjoyment out of this than anything. Not saying the drasters bad, trust me, it's a blast. But this coaster has something that others don't.

    -J

  • I like melenium force and magnum a little better then this one. But this is defaintly in my top rollercoasters.

  • yeah me to cause there bigger and longer. even though the phantoms drop is way bigger den the magnum

  • This is absolutely amazing footage!

  • Amazing Footage! Well Done!

  • me and my friends always sit in the back!

  • my 8th grade class gets to go here June 6th i cant wait

  • nether can i. were tottally riding this 7000000 times!

  • You, Jon,waggy,and me woot!

  • hell yeah

  • damn me and living in New york now i can only come here once a year. ah well just makes it more special right?

  • yea

  • i don't remember there being an information board that tells what its like 2 sit in certain seats on the ride. anyway love ths ride especially da first hill. I can't wait 2 go 2 kennywood ths summer! The longest i've ever been in 4 da Phantom's Revenge was only 40 minutes.

  • I don't remember there being anyone either. It was probably because the people who got on the ride didn't care. They just cared about getting on the ride. lol

  • wow, only 40 minutes?! I've stood in line for an hour and a half! It was a school picnic though and EVERYONE was there! Me and my friend were eating popcorn waiting then throwing it at people to keep ourselves entertained. Haha(: This is an awesome video! Really good angles! Wow! I love the Phantom(: WEST MIFFLIN, FTW!!!

  • tht looked like a 5 hour wait

  • well it is one of the park's most popular rides, if not the most popular.

  • "I Can't Go For This - No Can Do" (LOL - Hall & Oats)

  • I Heard The First Drop's Getting Retracked!

  • yeah the old steel phantoms track on the first and second hill is getting new track. the steel phantoms track is different from the phantoms revenge track. when your in line if u look closely on the phantoms second drop u can see the new track begin down on the second drop. that same track is going to look like that on the first drop and second drop. the only arrow track left will be the lift hill and the station track.

  • is it really? is it morgan track? do you know where i could find info on this? sorry for the 20 questions, but it's my home coaster. this sounds awesome!

  • y do u hate it?

  • im SO looking forward to it. It looks fantastic and the double-down is said to be the most intense, ever XD ------- YUMMY!!!!!

  • wait indeed! I went there on a Sunday, least busy day, and I saw the line set-up. I can just imagen how long that would be!!!! Give you at least a 3 or 4 hour wait for a 2 minute ride DX

    The FYI for the front car is so true! My eyes got dried out and started tearing because of the wind!!!

  • What are you talking about? The most I've ever seen a line there was 40 minutes and that was on Phantom Fright nights. It's never more than 20 min. If you actually went into the line you would see. Plus it's impossible for a 3 to 4 hour wait. The line isn't long enough!

  • The longest I have ever gave the line is about an 1 and a half! thats when both bull pins are filled and coming out of the que

  • leave it to kennywood to put a mini science class in their (ghastly) lines!! this park seriously needs to work on finding ways to cut down the wait time for their mediocre rides.

  • holy shit that line is insane!!!!!

  • its really fun at night!

  • I rode every rollercoster except that one.

    But me and my dad will ride it when I go next year!!!

  • it's intense! i highly recommend it!
