darienlake2648 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I was just referencing football season in general not this year specifically. Hoping for football but nothing is ever definitive these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennStater Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 End Zone Cafe did open (and the food was quite good in my opinion!), but not the experience building or games. Even if they do get Steel Curtain open this year, the experience building still won't open due to social distancing restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darienlake2648 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I was going to say that the website listed how that area wouldn't be open this season, although it's unfortunate they didn't complete it last year unless it'll now be considered a brand new attraction in 2021.

CenturyFlyer Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Steel Curtain did start testing this past week. Looking like it could be any time now.I haven't been to the park yet this year, but are you absolutely sure this happened? The coaster doesn't seem to have a reopening in sight.

tndank Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 They have been running trains on several days the last few weeks. But, unfortunately, it's not opening soon. The coaster event in two weeks had the ERT moved to a different coaster b/c they don't expect SC to be running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tndank Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I've seen people saying the restraints (or some part of) are being replaced. I have no idea. I was hopeful it would be running next week. Luckily I got to ride a few times last year when I visited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulbytime Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Really hoping it will be open Thursday. It'll be my first time at the park and Phantom's Revenge alone is still totally worth it, but Steel Curtain not being open will def be a bummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenturyFlyer Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 If Steel Curtain does open, it would be sometime after Labor Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulbytime Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Well it was taken off the daily closed attractions and moved to “closed until further notice” so I think you’re right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Finn Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Kennywood is definitely hurting hard for guests Tickets are all the way down at $23. That is cheaper than *discount* night rider tickets usually are during Fall Fantasy Parades. I know not everything is open. But they've been steadily dropping prices from $32. I won't be visiting this year. But I feel for them and am bummed the Jack Rabbit's 100th anniversary cannot be properly celebrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscoasters Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I bought a ticket since they’re discounted so heavily but I just don’t think I’m gonna visit unless Steel curtain is open. I only live two hours away so it’s not a huge deal but... I still don’t want to drive and be sad when I see it but can’t ride it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jconsolmagno Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I wont be visiting until Steel Curtain opens. Same here. I live 30-45 minutes away and would rather head up to Waldameer until it opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 How privileged that two (and a half) super awesome woodies, Phantom's Revenge (for those that praise it), some cool dark rides, and a bunch of classic rides you can't find elsewhere aren't enough to convince you to make a 30 min drive. Yeah, I was overall unimpressed with Kennywood when I was there in 2017, but to not go just because one coaster is closed when you live that close and they probably are desperate for any kind income is kinda crazy. Meanwhile, I've driven 9 hours for second time this summer just to get a night ride on Beast and a chance at getting on Dragster. Different priorities I guess. Enjoy what you can while you can. COVID might not be going away as soon as we all hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I feel that once you get past the charm, Kennywood is not that exciting of a park. I'm ready and raring to make the 15 min drive to the park and give them my money...as soon as Steel Curtain opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who drove all the way from Michigan to visit Kennywood I was very impressed by it. It had its own cool vibe to it. A great collection of flat rides and a couple really really good coasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymouscactus Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 No Bayern Kurve... no deal. Why is everyone up in arms about Steel Curtain, Bayern should be the real ride to cry about. *HOOOOOOOORRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN* Edit: Nevermind it's not on the closed list. I was just going based on the post above. In that case, let's go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Roughly how long have the waits been on Saturdays this year at Kennywood? I'm planning on visiting Cedar Point the Friday before (I want to avoid Cedar Point on a Saturday with FastLane unavailable). And is Kennywood offering the skip the line pass this year?

tndank Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Bayern Kurve on Sunday was good stuff. Had never been on one and typically wouldn't, but it's rare and I've heard so much praise about it. Glad I did. It's fairly intense and made me smile. We did more flats than normal. The Whip is always fun, too. Phantom always delivers. Rode it a bunch. Sky Rocket was one train ops and a 45+ min wait, so I skipped it to ride the others more. Been on it before and would rather ride JR a couple more times. Other than SR, lines were 5-15 minutes most of the day for everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
