silver2005 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 In the same vein that I ask 'how does Intamin screw up a log flume?', how does S&S screw up a sit down looper with a chain lift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor.B03 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Steel Curtain seems to be a money pit, no matter how much work they put into it, it just doesn't seem to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion-XL200 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 The one thing I've never really understood was what problems does this coaster actually have....like they keep saying it's a prototype, but beyond that, what about it is causing downtime?

silver2005 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 This reminds me of Hypersonic XLC's tenure at KD when it comes to something familiar from S&S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard online, it seems the issues with Steel Curtain stem from the support structure not being adequate enough. I cannot confirm this though, as I am not a ride engineer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I'm planning to make my first trip to Kennywood in July. I'm disappointed that I won't get to ride Steel Curtain even though I don't like the Steelers. Hopefully they'll be able to figure out exactly what the problem is and get everything operational by next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just know, if you're going on your own, they need pairs of riders for Thunderbolt due to it having ancient trains with no seat dividers and it's a lateral G monster. IT does have a pseudo-single rider line at the station though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
