Kennywood Park announces new Steelers-themed coaster
WEST MIFFLIN, Pa. – Kennywood Park near Pittsburgh has announced a Steelers-themed replacement for its longtime Log Jammer ride.
Park officials announced Thursday they are bringing in a new roller coaster called “The Steel Curtain.”
The black and gold coaster is expected to break the state’s record for the tallest roller coaster at 220-feet (67-meters) and the world record for tallest inversion.
Officials say the roller coaster will be part of a new section called “Steelers Country.”
The section will be dedicated to the football team, with Steelers-themed games, a restaurant and other activities.
The new roller coaster is projected to open in 2019.
The park is located in West Mifflin, about 10 miles (16.1 kilometres) southeast of downtown Pittsburgh.
