[ HD POV ] Phantom's Revenge KennyWood hyper coaster
Ride the Phantom's Revenge (Formerly Steel Phantom), a hyper Roller Coaster at Kennywood Amusement Park in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.
Front Seat On-Ride Mounted HD POV filmed and edited by The Coaster Views.
Phantom's Revenge (formerly known as Steel Phantom) is a steel roller coaster at Kennywood in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, United States. When it opened in 1991, it was the fastest roller coaster and had the longest drop of any roller coaster in the world. The ride was originally manufactured by Arrow Dynamics. After the 2000 season, D.H. Morgan Manufacturing was brought in to renovate the ride, most notably to remove the four inversions. Unlike most roller coasters, the ride's second drop through Thunderbolt's structure is longer than its first drop.
As of 2012, Phantom's Revenge is in a three-way tie for 10th place of the world's fastest steel coasters, along with Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain, and Titan at Six Flags Over Texas. The ride has been ranked in the Golden Ticket Awards every year since 2000. It has been ranked in the top 10 every year since 2002. In addition, it has been ranked in the top 25 of Mitch Hawker's Best Steel Roller Coaster Poll every year since 2001 and in the top 5 of the National Amusement Park Historical Association Favorite Steel Roller Coaster poll every year except 2008.

ABOUT
Founded as a recreational playground far away from the hustle, bustle and smog of Downtown Pittsburgh, the idyllic site overlooking the Monongahela River has transformed over the past 12 decades into one of the world’s great amusement parks, featuring rides and attractions fit for all ages. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987, you’ll find three roller coasters that date back to the 1920s, each as fun as the day they opened nearly a century ago. Alongside those classic coasters come modern thrillers like Phantom’s Revenge, Exterminator and Sky Rocket. And opening Summer 2018, don’t miss Thomas Town™ at Kennywood. The second-largest permanent Thomas & Friends™ attraction in North America brings five new rides themed to the beloved children’s brand, plus live shows, an indoor play zone, and more.
Founded in 1898 as a small trolley park near Pittsburgh (then known as Pittsburg), the Monongahela Street Railway Company created Kennywood as a diversion for mill workers and their families. Today’s Kennywood still contains two major buildings that date back to the 19th century – a carousel pavilion, now a Johnny Rockets restaurant, and the Parkside Café, which was initially called the Casino. No gambling – Casino was commonly used for eateries and gathering places in that era!
Rowboats on the Lagoon, athletic competition, pony rides and finding a date in the Dance Hall ranked among the most popular diversions – a far cry from modern theme and amusement parks.
At the turn of the century, Kennywood was engaged in a fierce battle for survival with about a dozen other trolley parks and amusement resorts in Western Pennsylvania. The Pittsburgh (the H was restored to the city’s name in 1910) Street Railway Company wanted to get out of the amusement park business in 1902, so it subleased the park to several different operators until in 1906 it found two businessmen, A.S. McSwigan and F.W. Henninger, whose families would run Kennywood for the next century.
In these early days, Kennywood added and removed several roller coasters, and in 1901, opened The Old Mill (pictured). Though it’s changed greatly, it is the world’s oldest continuously operating dark water ride, more than 115 years old!
Though the Great Depression in the midst of this period put a damper on the growth of Kennywood and other American leisure activities, the Roaring Twenties saw the construction of three of Kennywood’s most iconic attractions, the Jack Rabbit (1920, pictured), Pippin (1924, later converted into Thunderbolt) and Racer (1927). All three have been named Landmark rides by the American Coaster Enthusiasts..
Kennywood also opened a swimming pool in 1925 that was one of the world’s largest at the time. The Dance Hall and swing bands remained incredibly popular, and Kennywood introduced three attractions that are now nearly impossible to find anywhere else: the Tumble Bug (now the Turtle), Auto Race, and the iconic walkthrough funhouse, Noah’s Ark.
Thanks to the postwar Baby Boom, school picnics grew by leaps and bounds in the 1950s. The park added many new rides, including the Hurricane, Looper, Rotor (the first ride imported from Europe), the Wild Mouse and the Octopus.
The ‘60s and ‘70s brought competition from Disneyland and other national theme parks. Kennywood stepped up to the plate by adding signature rides like the Thunderbolt roller coaster dubbed King of Coasters by the New York Times in 1974 and in 1975, the Log Jammer, the park’s first million-dollar ride. Later that summer, the Ghost Ship, a dark ride operating out of the former Dance Hall, burned to the ground. Despite firefighters battling the blaze that destroyed or damaged several other rides and buildings, the park continued operations!
While Kennywood moved into the future in this era by adding its first steel roller coasters, highlighted by the Steel Phantom (converted into the Phantom’s Revenge in 2001), the park cemented its legacy by being named a National Historic Landmark in 1987. Kennywood is one of only two amusement parks to be honored with the highest-level historic designation offered in the United States.
The expansion of Lost Kennywood in 1995 added a themed area you’d only find in Kennywood, presenting rides and architecture of days gone by. In the new millennium, the local families that had operated the park for more than 100 years sold Kennywood and its sister parks, which are now run by one of the world’s largest leisure park operators.
