Kennywood 2018 - Steel Curtain: S&S Hyper

[mkingy]

Construction hiccups aside this does look like it'll be an intimidating ride, hopefully it rides in a similar way too.

Steel Curtain is getting bigger and bigger:















These next couple of images are of another pieces of track going into place for the Roll-Over element:

Steel Curtain really is now reaching for the sky:

Oh wow. I wasn't really a fan of the massive structure, but I really wonder how it's all going to look upon completion. The skyline is going to look so different. xD

I''ll juts leave you with this beautiful shot:

Das hot, das hot, das hot!

I actually really like how the aesthetic of it fits in with Sky Rocket from that angle.

For all the flak this has been getting that is a lovely shot.

That is indeed a fantastic shot. I can't help to notice the supports seem more orange than yellow in that shot though.

The banana roll is beginning to rise now:

I did not expect to have that straight section to actually be there in the finished ride... Looks weird, i'd rather would have seen something like a micro hill or whatever.

It probably helps insure there is enough clearance. At least that's how I perceived it

Yeah, that dive loop and straight segment wraps around the preexisting bridge!

The trains look so small with only 2 seats wide.

Steel Curtain slowly rising towards completion:
