The Geek Mojo Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Just curious...I have about 4 hours I can spend at kennywood next Wednesday. 8 coasters in the first 4 hours the park is open on a Wednesday...Do you think it's possible without VIP Coaster Tours? Also, I see they're having some kind of youth event next week too. I'm thinking impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfan Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Sky Rocket back up? Yes Just curious...I have about 4 hours I can spend at kennywood next Wednesday. 8 coasters in the first 4 hours the park is open on a Wednesday...Do you think it's possible without VIP Coaster Tours? Also, I see they're having some kind of youth event next week too. I'm thinking impossible. Depends on the crowd. But I would say no as it's usually busy, especially Steel Curtain.

The Geek Mojo Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Thanks for the feedback. I really want to do Kennywood...But I may just have to plan it some other time when I can give it a full day. It deserves that kinda respect...I just really wanted a mission impossible scenario I guess. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Finn Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Without Steel Curtain in the mix, I would say you could definitely do them all by hitting exterminator first. If you got there before park open and could get on one of the first Steel Curtain trains and then knock out exterminator, hood likeky be in good shape. But the park is way more than just the coasters so I agree, a full day is the right speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILinator Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Are they not allowing preferred seating at this point on Steel Curtain? Also, will the park have more than one weekend of Phantom Fright Nights this year? Or is it just a two day event? The calendar doesn't go past September currently. For those who've been to PFN, what do you think of it? Should I wait to go until then, since I've never been? Is it crazy crowded? Thanks in advance!

They are assigning seats on most days but will usually accomodate seat requests. The line for front could be an additional 20-45min at times. Regarding PFN, it typically runs through October. I think it's worth a visit but it gets pretty crowded. Lines for the haunts can exceed an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 How have lines been during the middle of the week for Steel Curtain? I'll have 8 hours worth at the park on Wednesday, maybe 9. Never been there. I'd like to get at least 2 rides in as well as enjoy the rest of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they don't have free WiFi so phone battery life can vary depending on carrier and signal strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tndank Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Website has the coaster tour tickets and a Steel Curtain skip pass. Both have to be purchase 48 hours ahead. Are these available in the park? Same price? $50/$20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymouscactus Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Interesting. Surprised they are offering an unlimited with SC included as well. Definitely a pretty penny with not enough non-coaster rides IMO but maybe when I see the lines I'll think differently... I'm considering a visit this weekend, I also noticed the website said 1 train operations on Steel Curtain... but with VIP that doesn't matter as much. If I can buy at the park for the same price I'd rather wait to purchase. As asked above, does anybody know how pricing is at the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennStater Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I'm pretty certain the pricing in the park is the same as online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SbSteveZ Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Out of curiosity - I've been seeing around that Kennywood used to have a laser show at least up until 2017. is this still the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfan Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Out of curiosity - I've been seeing around that Kennywood used to have a laser show at least up until 2017. is this still the case? It was up until last season but has been removed this year. Steel Curtain forced the removal of a few of the fire effects in the lagoon and created some obstruction for the lasers.

bluestreak Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Stopped at Kennywood on my way back home to Cleveland after my big East coast trip. I'll get around to a trip report eventually but just wanted to say that Steel Curtain is great! It isn't as thrilling as one would expect by looking at it but it is very smooth, has great flow, and keeps it's speed nicely throughout. Just a great fun ride that's easy to just throw your hands up and enjoy. It is the perfect compliment to Phantom. Phantom packs the aggressive punch, while Steel Curtain is big and intimidating looking which will always make it be a draw to GP and enthusiasts alike. Kennywood has a true winner on their hands.

SbSteveZ Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 New question! Has anyone here ever heard of Goldstar before? If so would you recommend getting tickets from them? Apparently they sell for only $32 each for 3 people as opposed to the Kennywood site offer of $49.99 each. https://www.goldstar.com/events/west-mifflin-pa/kennywood-amusement-park-tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvurdking Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Ticketsatwork.com have them for 31.50 plus tax. Never heard of goldstar but that price does sound legit. Kennywood does have other prices under their discount pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tndank Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) Steel Curtain is fun. Phantom is fun. Kennywood as a whole seems like a dump. Edit: it's been a tough day. Long drive, crappy ops, crowded, line jumpers, idiots being especially idiotatic, and then shutting down when rain showed up. Skies were beautiful by 7pm Win some, lose some. Maybe tomorrow.

grsupercity Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 ^ What!!! I loved Kennywood on my visit last year. Has a different kind of vibe to it. Very laid back with an old school charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
