The Steel Curtain is Now Open at Kennywood

Today Kennywood has officially debuted The Steel Curtain, the park's towering and twisted new roller coaster. Themed to the Pittsburgh Steelers football franchise, the ride sits as the prominent centerpiece of Steelers Country, an entirely new themed area at Kennywood. The area celebrates everything Steelers related, with interactive activities, food, retail and more.

But folks looking for thrills will certainly find The Steel Curtain to be the most desirable attraction in the area, especially since it stands a massive 220 feet over the park. It's pretty hard not to notice with its bright gold supports and sleek black track.

Not only is The Steel Curtain tall, but it's also very twisted, featuring a total of 9 inversions throughout the course - a record for North America. Watching new coverage from those at the park also shows that the ride moves fast - and keeps its speed way up until the final brakes. That means a thrilling set of inversions with little break in between them. However at 4,000 feet of track the ride doesn't look short by any stretch of the imagination.

To hold you over until you get out to Kennywood to experience The Steel Curtain in person, the park has released a brand new point of view movie of the ride. Take a spin below!
