Kennywood announces launched steel coaster for 2010

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Kennywood has posted a video on their Web site for a new (and unnamed) steel roller coaster to open for the 2010 season. It appears to be a Premier Rides device, launched, with a vertical tower. The video says it will do 0 to 50 mph in less than three seconds.

Visit the official Kennywood site.

I wasn't talking about what the cars look like on the outside. I was refering to the interior which on Premier rides are always cramped.

I'm sure the interiors will be brand new too.

What? No one mentions the incredible video that Raven-Phile linked to? Great footage, Raven!

I, for one, am only slightly excited for this new coaster. With all of the new coasters and rides coming next year, I feel that X-Presso: the Ride is going to be a little fish in a big pond.

Right? That pretty much covers it.

I'm assuming that the track will also be new then too?

No, the loops are the leftover ones from the Steel Phantom.

You can't do that. The Scoring GameĀ® only allows one score, positive or negative, per incident, and you can't score someone else making a score unless they make one against the rules. So in essence, you've scored a -1.

They must play a different Game at Ars, then. Darn. Why doesn't anyone inform me of these kind of rules? I'm tired of losing.

Edit: Also forgot that online gambling was illegal in the US. Craps...

Thank you, sir. It took me a while to find that, too!

Nice I expect a bunch more coasters to be put into Kennywood. This is the start of Kennywood's RISE TO POWER!

You're going to be waiting a while, Maharg. ;)

Rise to power?

Yes, power -- didn't you get the memo?

(Or maybe Maharg was just referring to the first Duquesne Light bill after the LSMs kick in...)

Surprisingly, the LSM's aren't much of a power drain with the way they're set up. It's pretty interesting the way they'll work in to the power grid.

It is a logical progression... Rome, Constantinople, London, Washington, West Mifflin...

I don't remember this being posted before. But, here is a look at the layout of the ride.

If you scroll down to the last paragraph where is says Premiere Rides, there is a rendering of the ride. Albeit a small one.
