Phantom's Revenge- Surprise Hit of the Year?

Well, I'm not going to get into that old argument. Some people, including myself, found it not only ridable but reridable.

However, I was (and I'd guess, still am) in the microscopic minority there. It was not uncommon to see a true walk-on with the old Steel Phantom, even on a busy day. That's a problem, and they fixed it. Looking at the hour-plus lines, I'd say they made the right decision.

Well SP was (arguably) the world's first and only hyper-looper. Mix in Arrow, their Corkscrew trains, and OTSR's and it just sounds rough.

Luckily the sports exhibit is up at the Carnegie Science Center and there's a simulator with SP playing on it. I may be there tomorrow

For everyone who say that the Phantom has the most ever that they have ever got out of a coaster, what happened to the Jackrabbit (In the same park no less)??
Now that is airtime. :)
But of course, I think that the Phantoms Revenge is an excellent ride, and the airtime is quite nice as well.
