CorkscrewFoley Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Speaking for myself, I don't think it's whining. I have been hearing for years that there would be steel, I just thought it would have been something else. I'm glad Kennywood's got a new coaster though.

Jerrykoala2112 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Me like launch coasters! It sounds like it a great coasters! It does not sound like the layout of Flight of Fear which is good! This coaster actually might make me want to go to Kennywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastn07 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm looking forward to the inverted top hat! Sounds like a good coaster.... Don't say inverted tophat, because then it would be something like this: and going by the above pic it's just an overbaked turn. Its definitely an inverted top hat, it's just a lot smaller than the one you linked. On a side note, I'm finally glad the announcement has happened and I can finally talk about the new coaster. That's the only bad thing about knowing about a new coaster before the public knows about it, you can't discuss it with anyone you know. The general consensus around the park is everyone seems to be happy with the ride for the most part. It's been a long time coming but the park finally got the deal done. The timing of the Turnpike's closure is perfect as well because it's been having a ton of problems lately. And for all the people who are disapponted that Premier is making it, what did you expect? The park is not going to dish out $25 million for a B&M or Intamin. The park was deciding between this coaster and a Eurofighter and they went with this probably because they got a better deal on it. It's being made in the US so you have to keep in mind how much money they saved on shipping. Seriously though, wait to ride it before you bash it. I for one can't wait to ride it nex season!

cgodsey Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Good for Kennywood. As for Premier doing it, I think we will see Premier sell more of these in the future and I heard about a "test track" like product from them that is getting some attention too!

kingsdominionlvr Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 If they are not removing the turnpike, then I guess I am okay with this. Even though, the new coaster will not be all everyone hyped it up to be. Until Premier fixes their train restraints and reliability problems (which still plagues their modern launched coasters), I still look at their launchers as outdated and unconfortable. But Hey, a coaster is a coaster, at least they are adding a new coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsdominionlvr Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 ^ They cramp you legs and give a boxed in feel. Hopefully, they improve that on the new coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Premier's current restraints are far superior to the old OTSRs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfan21 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Sounds like I might have to make a detour if I head down to Busch Gardens next summer. I think this is just what Kennywood needs. I cant wait for more details to arise in the next few weeks, and months. Also from what I have read it sounds like maybe a new car concept from Premier, with a more open feeling car.

FeelTheFORCE Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Maybe you're claustrophobic and your mind's making it seem a lot worse than it actually is? I don't know what else to say. Their restraints are perfectly fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffraffrp Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 The coaster design sounds exciting. This should be a great fit. I also hope they plan to fix the top of the second hill on the Phantom's Revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelTheFORCE Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I think he means that quick jerk at the top. It's not THAT bad, but I still don't see why Morgan did that to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiSab Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm wondering that since they haven't released the name or logo yet if they will have a naming contest for it? I doubt it myself, but it could happen. As far as Premier as the designer, it's been some time since their launched coasters of old. I have no doubt that they've improved on the ride experience - even though I don't really have a problem with their older launchers. I just hope that they use a new restraint style. The oversized lapbar and ankle braces are somewhat constricting. Otherwise, I'm really looking forward to seeing this ride come together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People complained about their old OTSRs, but I rarely see people complain about the newer lap bars because they are such an improvement over the old OTSRs that were worse than Vekomas and Arrows when it came to headbashing.
