- Sorry, I should have mentioned in my original post that we spent a couple
- days at Kennywood this summer.
-
- Being new to this group, I would like to solicit the opinions that people
- have about the Steel Phantom at Kennywood.
-
- I thought it was _very_ smooth, almost to the point that I didn't even feel
- like I was on a ride that was supposedly as scary as it was built up to be.
- Coupled with the fact that climbing the first hill takes nearly as long as
- the rest of the ride after it. I was a little disappointed.
-
- I just can't get excited about going to Kennywood anymore, since I grew up
- about 20 minutes away from the park. The most pleasurable coaster I find at
- Kennywood these days is the Thunderbolt. Guess I need to see some new
- pastures (sigh.)
-
- Bye for now.
