Pitt-fall go down go boom.
I like Pittfall, but wouldn't really MISS it as long as Kennywood replaces it with a better freefall-style ride. Even just replacing it with a more modern Intamin Gyro Drop would be cool -- that WOULD solve the "no good view on a few sides" problem, but probably doesn't present a new different enough ride to justify it.

I can hear the teenager rumors now...
"They had to get a new seat holder because the other one broke off and rolled down the hillside with people still locked in. It rolled into the river, and everyone died."
lol
Have the seats tilt outward or something, and then it could be marketad as "new".

It wouldn't be the first rumor that I've started. Remember the one about Mantis becoming a floorless?

That would be "Pittfail". (Or is that when the Panthers miss the Final Four for the Nth time?)

I really love the old-school Intamin drops. They are far more intense than the S&S towers. Everything from the Demon Drop to the Drop Tower at KI still make me highly nervous, but in a good way. There is nothing more nerve-wracking than those few seconds before any of those towers drop. :)
The Demon Drop makes me highly nervous, too, but I'm sure for very different reasons. ;) (Btw, I can't reference Demon Drop any more without hearing Air Supply in my head. :) )
Another thing that's been cool about Pitt Fall is that it's part of the park's horizon view when you come across the Rankin Bridge. As soon as you see it along with PR, you get all excited because you're almost there. (Or maybe that's just me, but still.) Hopefully there will be another highly visible ride to replace it.

I used to think that, Carrie, but I haven't seen Kennywood from the Rankin Bridge in a few years. Are they ever going to finish that @#$! thing?

The new Post Gazette article is out today. I posted it to the news story. Didn't realize there was a discussion here:

Interesting quotes in there about a potential replacement ride. Apparently it will be "better than the Windseeker". Zing! ;)
