My mom was from McKeesport Pennsylvania and when we would go on family trips we always went to Kennywood Park. Me and my mom would ride EVERYTHING and my sister, brother and my dad would just wait🤣🤣She loved The Racer but The Jackrabbit was her favorite. Every time I watch a roller coaster video I can hear her yelling and asking me if I’m ok. RIP Ma💔
The worst part about the Phantom's Revenge is that it's too short lol. Will forever be my favorite amusement park ride of all time. Probably based on nostalgia alone. There's something ethereal reminiscing about a warm summer day in my childhood, standing in line, looking to my right and seeing the glorious river and mills. Then seeing everything from far above at the coaster's peak. Riding so close to The Turtle ride-which I once rode before I was tall enough to ride the Phantom, and always longingly gazed at from below. The parts dipping under the other roller coaster, or the loop at the end surrounded by greenery, are forever engrained in my memory. I think I came here on an uncrowded weekday once, and was able to ride the Phantom over and over again until the park closed. I haven't been to Kennywood since 2016 but I've thought about it every summer since.
Watching these videos is the next best thing since I can't ride roller coasters anymore 😢. I had a stroke 2 years ago, and it seriously affected my equilibrium.
The concept of racing 2 coasters is one I'm VERY suprised hasn't been duplicated more in other parks. Looking back on the concept it's so ahead of it's time
i remember going on the jack rabbit so many times when i think i was 4-6 years old (2014-16) probably about 30 times or maybe more and when i came back when i was 9 i started crying maybe i missed it since i moved to florida
Went for the first time in 15 years recently. I'm not huge on 'big' coasters, but Sky Rocket and Steel Curtain seems to be formidable additions. Will always love Thunderbolt.
Lived in Pittsburgh my whole life. Been to kennywood too many times to count. My first coaster was the jack rabbit and decades later it was my sons first coaster, too. Wonderful place to make memories with the family. ❤
LOVE Kennywood!! Been going there since I was a kid! Fright Night is so fun but cold! Will never ride the jackrabbit again. Last time I rode it my seat belt unbuckled and I couldn’t get it back on. Though I was gonna die!
Im going to kenny land for the first time in my life this summer we just got season passes for this year im ready for Some good coaster's, and look out cedar point i go once every year 😊
@@justlandon001 idk I feel like it would be cooler if I could see literally anything to orient myself. It's just pitch black and hurts my sides. Maybe with some glow in the dark bug-decor I could get in board with the theming but for rnn I just skip it.
Kennywood was my favorite place to go as a kid. The Potato patch fries are the best,no other amusement park fries are as good. I just wish that they would lower the price,Cedar Point is surprisingly cheaper.
I know it's not a popular opinion but imagine if thunderbolt became an RMC hybrid.... Kennywood would have 2 hyper coasters an incredible RMC and 2 classic wooden coasters and a launch coaster...it would be a world class collection of coasters
Kennywood is an historic park known for it's woodies moreso then it's modern additions. As much as RMCing one of them seems feasible, it'll be a mythical moonshot in terms of chance if it would to ever happen. ;)
i’m excited to go this thursday when the band goes for my school and i’m gonna try the exterminator, then i would of been on every roller coaster there.
I wish the Steel Coaster was open. Everytime I go it's closed. 🥺 I've ridden it once and it was amazing. But the last 3 times I visited it was down. It's just to expensive to go when your fave rides are down.
I remember being terrified of the Jackrabbit when I was younger, now Im about to ride Steel Curtain and (maybe) Phantoms Revenge when I go to Kennywood in two days
The wild thing to me is that "Phantom's Revenge" configuration has been around almost two and a half times as long as the original "Steel Phantom" configuration, but me and my siblings STILL call it the "Steel Phantom"! This is the equivalent of an older person calling the Thunderbolt; "The Pippin"! 😳
I've never been to Kennywood while the Steel Curtain was open. I'm floored at how long it seems to last compared to the Sky Rocket. It looks like a very distinctive and unique ride. I'm not afraid of loops, but I do have to say, I prefer the Phantom because it's a bit more scenic. Giving you cool views and angles of the park without the neck jerks, allowing you to smoothly take it in. However, I love the part at 13:15, where it almost touches the water. And a nice aerial overview of those sitting areas on the left. I also admire the view at 12:39. That's gotta be one of the tallest views in Kennywood-after marveling at the view from the top of the Phantom, this is a cool new perspective. 12:47 had a nice straight soaring motion that looked satisfying. I look forward to trying the Steel Curtain at least once in my lifetime.
I went today for the first time. Phantom’s Revenge is great. The 2nd drop is a MFer. Sky Rocket was a instant rush but that 2nd half is snoozefest lol. Of course Racer and Steel Curtain were closed 🙄. Thunderbolt was ok.
They wouldn't be able to afford an RMC, plus they wouldn't RMC their historic woodies, they would have to have a single rail or hybrid from ground up. They probably couldn't afford it, but wouldn't mind a B&M Floorless or Invert there.
I have a story to tell I was lost and never rode on a roller coaster before and my sister was at the jackrabbit and I axidently went on the steel certen and when I got of I told her that was the worst beginning roller coaster of all time and this also happened to my friend

Sorry for your loss❤️
@@oogaboogamonke69 Ty😇
W mom
Sorry for your loss ❤
“You ready to go again?” YEEEAAAAAAH (lil phantom)
Nostlagia✨
Just went to kennywood after 30 years finding out about it. It is such a unique park. So much history. Love all the rides.
Steel Curtain I can handle, but lil' phantom? That's where I draw the line with roller coasters
lil phantom goes too wild 🗣️🔥
Little phantoms the boss
What? That’s so short
Or maybe it gliched
Or your being sarcastic lol
We yinzers really are lucky to be so close to the great Kennywood park!!
This yinzer agrees
I’m 74 and in Chicago. Never heard of Kennywood, but I’m going there for a weekend.
Try out some tides tell me your experience u didnt see me even though i was there
I love the Exterminator video where it was a split so you could watch both in the dark and with the lights on. Also liked the audio on it too.
Fun fact, oldest roller coaster here was the first roller coaster I’ve ever been on

The thunderbolt is definitely my all time favorite roller coaster at Kennywood.
Same here. If you categorize it by steel and wood, Thunderbolt #1 woodie and Steel Curtain #1 steel
Same
thunderbolt os the best!
@@TheJoeml85 it sure is!!!
No phantoms revenge
Thanks for this! The Jack Rabbit was the first coaster I ever rode, almost 60 years ago. I was 15 or 16. Wahoo!
Me 2 I have not been there for like 10 years
Thunder bolt is the best coaster
Yes
I'm gonna go on it tomorrow for the first time
No
Says gp
Frrr
The concept of racing 2 coasters is one I'm VERY suprised hasn't been duplicated more in other parks. Looking back on the concept it's so ahead of it's time
Is this sarcasm 😭
It's the second hill that make your heart drop
Going to Kennywood today, looking forward riding the coasters :)
i am going today!
My favorite ride is Phantom‘s revenge it’s so tall and I love it:D
i remember going on the jack rabbit so many times when i think i was 4-6 years old (2014-16)
probably about 30 times or maybe more and when i came back when i was 9 i started crying maybe i missed it since i moved to florida
These pov’s don’t show the rides justice
Coming out of the station at the beginning was like a whole ride in itself, before the actual ride!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Huh?
Went for the first time in 15 years recently. I'm not huge on 'big' coasters, but Sky Rocket and Steel Curtain seems to be formidable additions. Will always love Thunderbolt.
The sky rocket is so fun
Went on every coaster, in real life. Always has that perfect combination of smoothness and thrills!!!
Lived in Pittsburgh my whole life. Been to kennywood too many times to count. My first coaster was the jack rabbit and decades later it was my sons first coaster, too. Wonderful place to make memories with the family. ❤
I love roller coasters
LIL PHANTOM GOES HARD 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
I'm getting old because with the Sky Rocket and Steel Curtain all I could think was "Still mad they got rid of the Turnpike and Log Jammer".
Really wish the exterminator audio was able to play that audio makes it seem so much more fun
Damn Steel Curtain looks dope forreal, I’m gonna have to catch my first game in person and spend a day at Kennywood
It's closed this year. Should be open next year.
I really love steel phantom
Kennywood Amusement Park is located in the Borough of West Mifflin!!!
Pennsylvania is the best state
What a great lineup
Old and new. Steel and wood.
LOVE Kennywood!! Been going there since I was a kid! Fright Night is so fun but cold! Will never ride the jackrabbit again. Last time I rode it my seat belt unbuckled and I couldn’t get it back on. Though I was gonna die!
That is a long wild mouse with the best theming ever.
"Sky Rocket" is an underrated coaster! Sure, it's not "huge", But man it's a "rush" to ride! 👍😊👍
Im going to kenny land for the first time in my life this summer we just got season passes for this year im ready for Some good coaster's, and look out cedar point i go once every year 😊
Thunderbolt was rough when I went the other day
I love Jackrabbit, Phantom’s Revenge and Exterminator 😁
Me too! The exterminator is underrated.

went to Kennywood 3 days ago

And please get a better motor for steel curtains lift hill ..lol
Yessss
Kennywood would never do that to Thunderbolt or any of its other woodies. They love their classic coasters.

I love Kennywood! I had a great time 4 days ago
I went 6 days ago, omg I wanna go again
@@chachaarealsmoothh get a season pass next year
i’m excited to go this thursday when the band goes for my school and i’m gonna try the exterminator, then i would of been on every roller coaster there.
Kennywood is my top places to Go to

I love Kennywood so much
It always feels so much longer when you’re actually on it
For some reason as I get older the Thunderbolt becomes more fun. I love the Phantom and Steel Curtain, but there's just something about Thunderbolt.
Making that roller coasters in Minecraft was fun😊
KENNYWOODY
i was just there i rode the jack rabbit 3 times
I remember being terrified of the Jackrabbit when I was younger, now Im about to ride Steel Curtain and (maybe) Phantoms Revenge when I go to Kennywood in two days
I went on the steel curtain last year BEST RIDE EVER! May or may not over blacked out 😅
You blacked out on it the thing is force less to me 💀
@@Thelightning1out I blacked out bc I was really scared

You have to be there to ride the exterminator

Fun fact I’m actually 1 day older than sky rocket
It’s just not the same without my mom screaming her head off next to me
Missed the Laser Loop --an oldie but goodie.
I remember my first time on the exterminator and me and my friend were screaming for our lives
Wow wasn't there when the Steel Curtain was open yet!! Looks like an upgraded Sky Rocket!!
I love going to Kennywood i live right next to it
Why is the lift on steel curtain so slow?
I love the steel curtain sadly it’s closed so much
Only 3 of these look exciting
Omg I passed out in the sky rocket I was there yesterday
Who here remembers the "Laser Loop"? Anybody other than me?
I’m going to fright night any tips?
Exterminator and Steel Phantom are my favorites
I went today for the first time. Phantom’s Revenge is great. The 2nd drop is a MFer. Sky Rocket was a instant rush but that 2nd half is snoozefest lol. Of course Racer and Steel Curtain were closed 🙄. Thunderbolt was ok.
I had the same announcer for Jack Rabbit too
10:06 did anyone see that long ass car in the background?
Holy rap that car is as big as my di-
They need a new coaster again an rmc coaster and new room
They wouldn't be able to afford an RMC, plus they wouldn't RMC their historic woodies, they would have to have a single rail or hybrid from ground up. They probably couldn't afford it, but wouldn't mind a B&M Floorless or Invert there.
I like Racer
The video isn’t in 4k though…..
Wanting to head here, knobels and Hershey park hopefully within the next 2 or 3 years.
I have a story to tell I was lost and never rode on a roller coaster before and my sister was at the jackrabbit and I axidently went on the steel certen and when I got of I told her that was the worst beginning roller coaster of all time and this also happened to my friend
Where was the Pippin, Thunderbolt, Laser Loop & Log Jammer? I consider the Log Jammer a water roller coaster. The Thunderbolt is the best!!
My question is how he keeps the camera so still on the rides
Probably a device called a gimbal
Wrist curls
The POVs could be mounted to the cars?
Great content know body's talking in the background
Ok is it bad that I didn't really like the steal curtain
steel curtain is flashback 2.0?
How was the steel curtain
Thought the Track for Phantoms Revenge was Green? Did they Paint it recently? Haven’t been out there in ages.
Yeah, they painted it purple. They've been switching back and forth recently, one year green, one year purple.
Steel curtains track is so wide it almost looks like the b&m dive machine track
you is feel like ur gonna hit ur head the whole time of steel curtain 😭
Frrr tho I was like what happens if u hit ur head😭
Yall the best coaster is sky rocket
Every roller coaster is the best leave your opinion
Phantoms revenge didn’t open in 91 🤔
I think it did but it used to be called the steel phantom
When did the audio for the Exterminator change? Or is that manually added for the video?
little phantom goated
Team phantom
👇
Still being the swings
Q.....
..
Fell asleep watching this
where is thunderbolt
Do you have a video of the carousel?
Sky Rocket is the best.
Interesting
