Everything is looking great for the new area; the new coaster is going to be a hit for sure! -
Is this casino still operating? -

there was a pretty-credible looking post on reddit late last summer from someone who claimed to know the issues and they essentially boiled down to issues with the structural supports/ excessive stress on certain segments of the ride. Essentially the ride was engineered very close to the margins for cost savings (not unsafe), but that resulted in tons of maintenance and ongoing structural strain, especially since it's possible the forces on the serpent roll (for example) were slightly higher than anticipated. Apparently one "temporary" fix was S&S recommending only one train operation. the current plan is to extensively replace and shore up certain supports of the ride. Looking at the structure and the $9M price tag for a coaster that size, it doesn't surprise me, if true. Sometimes, you do get what you pay for. -

We don't see a lot of non-launched, steel coasters have these sort of extended issues these days. It makes me wonder if it isn't somehow the foundation or the ground under footers not being strong enough. -

Maybe an RMC launched lift hill will fix the reliability issues. -

Snoopy's Soap Box Racers testing I like the color scheme and graphics on the train. -
Pretty amazing how they only figured out it would be down for the whole year 3 days before opening, after plenty of people had paid for their season passes. Coincidences all around, I guess. -

I'd have thought you'd be all over the Ren Fest scene, Bert. This is something I'd have loved to have done. Easy enough to tack onto a Lagoon trip. Hopefully it can come back in some form. -
Steel Curtain down for 2024. https://www.wpxi.com/news/local/flagship-kennywood-roller-coaster-will-not-open-this-season/K7UHT6YEURB7RCKZ7AK5LNQ33U/ -
or.. maybe don't go to a fully immersive LARPing event if you're not into it? (it's why i don't bother with Renaissance Festivals)

Yeah or ya know.... maybe have a couple of actual rides so that people who aren't into the role play stuff have something to do. -

Hah. I'm conflicted on how you got in, but that's funny. Thank you for your story and your service.
