Kennywood: 2019 S&S Coaster - Steel Curtain

What an absolutely awful investment this has been, who ever thought it was a good idea to buy from S&S? Swear they get more wrong that right!

Had a feeling this would be a coaster I would get spited by this summer. Will be interesting to see what the modifications are, perhaps it will eventually involve a bulldozer?
 
How is a traditional chain hill rollercoaster so temperamental.

I visited in June 2019 and they'd still not finished building the thing.
Opened late in the 2019 season.
It didn't operate at all in 2020.
Been on and off since 2021 until it just stopped opening the middle of last season.

Not even sure if they ever managed to operate it with 2 trains.

Still at least the renovated Turtle Chase is opening.
 
Something seemed overly complicated about the whole thing when standing in the air gates. The restraint lock/unlock mechanism... the incredibly slow lift hill transition...

It's a shame really because it's a top 20 coaster for me. If the track and train had been done by Vekoma it'd be serving them extremely well.
