coasterbill Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I never thought I'd see the day that honest-to-god adults were debating whether or not something was called a "sea serpent" or a "banana roll". What a time to be alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChris125x Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 That's the sea serpent. The first of the banana roll structure is going up in the back of the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a time to be alive I always order both of those at my local sushi place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Over the last few days Kennywood has shared some excellent new photos of Steel Curtain as construction continues! Check them out below! Got that #fridayfeeling! Work continues on Saturdays for us now! Yesterday we showed you the construction update from the top of the Racer. Today - let's check out some highlights from earlier this week on the ground! #SteelCurtain Crane game on point! #SteelCurtain Jack Rabbit to the left of me,Steel Curtain to the right, Here I am...

coneyislandchris Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Like, I knew it was going to be massive, but it wasn't until they posted that photo of the sea serpent banana roll (mm, sushi) going up that I could see just how far it's towering over Racer, and how thoroughly this thing is going to absolutely dominate the skyline. I really can't wait for it to open up! Here's hoping the remainder of construction is smooth sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kw6sTheatee Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Should be quite an exhilirating sight from Racer, amplified by the fact that nothing around the coaster comes close to the whopping 220’ in the air that Steel Curtain is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Whoa looks awesome, I like the looks of that little hill after (before?) the corkscrew and what on earth is that 2nd pic? The one before the final breaks, looks like a double inversion or a dive into a stall or something wild. (I only watched the animation once when released, I like to be kinda surprised) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middle_keeny Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 The finale of the coaster is an airtime hill going into a corkscrew that drops into a helix with an overbanked cutback which leads into the brakes. Personally im most excited about this section more than any other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI Jizzman Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 How many days into the operating season do you think it'll be before they have to put up "please, no terrible towels are allowed on ride."? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 How many days into the operating season do you think it'll be before they have to put up "please, no terrible towels are allowed on ride."? I now want "please leave all bags, loose articles, and Terrible Towels with a non-rider" to be a part of the spiel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 that is a GORGEOUS picture. wow. . gonna be a fun ride, and so close to classic Racer, I thought it might be jarring. . but I'm loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 The finale of the coaster is an airtime hill going into a corkscrew that drops into a helix with an overbanked cutback which leads into the brakes. Personally im most excited about this section more than any other. Goodness, I cant grasp just reading that, and Im very excited. I reckon it'll have good speed too, it goes up high but so much of it is low/drops to the ground. Very nice pic indeed. Anyone have any idea/educated guess on how they can run trains? Its prob not possible but I would love to see one on top one on bottom going through that part at the same time. I think the ride is kind of jarring for the park itself, even their biggie all ya see are the 2 hills, all the rest is in the ravine, its gunna be weird to have this massive ride so in your face, going over the pathway and everything. At first I too was like hmmm....this park is basically famous for being "classic" but it also looks awesome so I don't care that much lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Anyone have any idea/educated guess on how they can run trains? Its prob not possible but I would love to see one on top one on bottom going through that part at the same time. I didn't see a MCBR on the POV video, so I'm thinking only one train on the course at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its prob not possible but I would love to see one on top one on bottom going through that part at the same time. based on the pic, that APPEARS to be where it hops over the path, meaning the track after the upper section just does a quick turn-around feature on the lake, before coming back on the below part. so yeah, don't see how they'd ever be able to run trains to hit at the same time. I'm really liking this Orange color - all the prior pics looked more yellow. Likely this is just primer, but i really do think this looks so much better Orange than Yellow. any ideas what the final color is gonna be? the Steeler's uniforms seem to be an Orangy/Yellow color. . .

Its prob not possible but I would love to see one on top one on bottom going through that part at the same time. As awesome as that would be, that's definitely impossible. Even if there was a mid course allowing for multiple trains, the only thing separating that airtime hill and the stall is a single dive loop (or immelman, not sure which direction the train goes). As in, the train goes over the top, then immediately turns around and goes through the bottom (or the other way around - you get the point).

jynx242 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 This is just so much taller/larger than I thought it would be initially. It looks so funky that I'm really excited to see it run! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 . I'm really liking this Orange color - all the prior pics looked more yellow. Likely this is just primer, but i really do think this looks so much better Orange than Yellow. I was thinking the same thing. I didn't know if it was a filter or what. It looks much better in orange than yellow, in my opinion. When I saw the original rendering I thought it was one of the ugliest coasters I've ever seen. I was hoping it would turn out to look much better in reality. That seems to be the case so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennStater Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I would call the supports gold... the Steelers' colors are black and gold, after all. That Instagram pic from today definitely makes it look more orange than it actually is. Sent from my Samsung Note 8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 LOL you guys. Those supports are as yellow as the yellow of everyone's text on here, only that one last photo makes the supports look orange. The supports are definitely yellow. Here: Vest = orange Support = yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
