skyrocket010 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 The trains look amazing. I wish they would hurry up and finish this thing. I cannot wait to see it in action. Still can’t believe my home park has a new coaster. Especially one with these stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PennStater Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Love the open design on the trains. This coaster is going to be so. much. fun.! And let's not forget we'll be going upside down NINE times in those open seats with lapbars including once at 197 feet in the air!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DILinator Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Due to a serious lack of funds this year, I'm going to be doing hardly any roller coastering... However, the one trip that I am hoping to pull off with my kids, is taking them to Kennywood for their first time there! I love the park already, and Steel Curtain looks absolutely awesome (well, except for the name, theme, and colors! ) Hopefully it runs well, and consistently, once it does open! For those that work at the park (I know there's at least one of you!), have you heard if there's any idea currently about when this will finally open? I'm not in any super rush to get there, thanks to the aforementioned fundage issues, just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in any super rush to get there, thanks to the aforementioned fundage issues, just curious. I honestly don't think they know yet... but as you would imagine, they'd want to get it open ASAP. I'm going to KennyKon on July 20th, and they have Steel Curtain ERT on the schedule but with a disclaimer: While it is hoped that The Steel Curtain will reliably operating by the time of the event, like all new installations, especially ones with new designs, technical challenges can prevail. In the event it is not operational, another roller coaster will be substituted for ERT, and the kindness and understanding of event attendees will be appreciated!

jslim39 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 So yeah if anybody hears about when this opens, sound the alarm bells please. I have vacation June 14th-21st and I plan on spending maybe 1 full day back home in Pittsburgh, and the rest will be in Virginia Beach. I've gone to Kennywood every year my whole life until last year, and now that the bandaid has been ripped off, I sure can skip another year. I'll be really disappointed, but if Steel Curtain isn't open by my vacation, I'm just going to King's Dominion.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Finn Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I’m willing to bet it won’t be open until July at the earliest. It’s not just going to be finished construction wise and ready to go. I mean, how does the rest of the area appear to be coming along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like about what I was guessing, based on where progress is at the moment. Another question, for you, or any other locals or regular attendees... Is there a particular time of year that the crowds at the park thin out again, after mid-June? Perhaps late August? September? I imagine that's when we'll end up going, but I've only ever gone earlier in the season, so I'm not sure what it's usually like then. Thanks!

alilstronger Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I'll be here Sunday! Even though I am sad the new coaster won't be open I am still excited to get back here after about 6 years! Hopefully the weather holds up for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have vacation June 14th-21st and I plan on spending maybe 1 full day back home in Pittsburgh, and the rest will be in Virginia Beach. I know, I'll be going around July 11, and I'm kind of holding my breath to see if it'll be open by then--seems like it could be a close call. My travels are tied to a business trip, so the dates are kinda inflexible for me. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanthonyam Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Well I am sure once that new ride opens, it will stay busy til the end of the season. I would always try a weekday over weekends if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alilstronger Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Now seeing Steel Curtain in person I can not wait to ride this!! Sunday was a good day at the park weather and crowd wise. Only down falls were every coaster using one train and the staff was not very friendly for the most part. They seemed very disorganized. They kept scurrying around asking their supervisors what rides they should be on. I figure they would be scheduled. The girl running the Whip could not have moved any slower... then proceeded to talk to the guy at the entrance of Exterminator for about 5 minutes before starting a new cycle. I'll probably wait for them to get 2-3 new attractions before coming back here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
