BRTeller Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Welcome to Kennywood! On our way to Phantom's Revenge first. Getting Closer Pirate Ship Even Closer And we're here! Tyler standing out infront of the entrance sign. Also notice the awareness of the Ride Op. To be fair it is only the person that sits infront of the line. Weeeee! In all seriosness this ride is seriously awesome. The airtimes great, so is the second drop. Nerd photo. ... I like this photo a lot. Obligated lift hill shot. Phantoms Revenge station. Nerd Shot 2. Great drop, and headchopper. Airtime hill, helix, and Thunderbolt all in one. ... Intamin Drop Tower yay. Splashboat. More Phantom's Revenge. Weeeee!! We'll get back to you later. Giant Disco (Can't remember the correct name) Next up, Jack Rabbit. It was ok, but the history on all the old wooden coasters here are all very interesting. There's some ok air time on it. ... Love the logo. One last picture. Next up, Thunder Bolt. Nevermind Thunderbolt, it's all about Phantom's Revenge. It was ok, but to be fair I expected a lot. Also didn't it a few years back have working headlights? Shwoosh. Yep. I love this picture. ... ... Last one. Kennywood's one nice looking park. Yeah, one picture of me won't hurt this time I guess. Neither will one of Tyler Racer, neat due to the fact of one singe track. Hard to get many photos of it. The last coaster of the trip was exterminator, and it did not dissapoint. We expected the least out of it, and it was a lot of fun. But your still number one. Vroom! Just two more after this. Airtime That's all for Phantom's Revenge. We see you! Ooooh, Aaaaah. Paratrooper! And thats all! Stay tuned this weekend for Kingsisland! Thanks Kennywood for such an awesome time, way better then we both expected. Clean park, great rides, and staff. No complaints I can think of. Just wish I would have gotten to this park sooner!
DenDen Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Also didn't it a few years back have working headlights? When they did the rolling stock restoration back in 2000 (I think) they had them, and they only lasted a season or 2, the wear and tear was just too great. But this was before the advent of cheap LEDs and Li-Io batteries. I'd like to see them try it again.
Stoksy Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 When you think about it the station of Phantom's Revenge is kind of bland. But with a huge statue of a phantom sitting there I would be scared too. Kennywood has one of the only four Tumble Bugs in the world, right?

They removed them a year later after a minor collision because they didn't hold up well to the ride's vibrations.
The Bebes Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 The Giant Disk-O at Kennywood is called Cosmic Chaos. Great fun with neat Alien theming.
