Announced today, but not named as of yet.

The video is completely useless and there aren't many facts given, but putting it all together it appears to be a new type of coaster from Premier (using LSM instead of LIM).

Track Length: 2100 feet
Maximum Speed: 50 mph
Inversions: 3
Ride Time: 65 seconds
Number of Trains: 2
Number of Cars Per Train: 2
Number of Riders Per Train: 12

Sounds like a capacity nightmare. The good news I guess is that since it's Premier it should only have lap bars, which makes it infinitely superior to the alternative of a Eurofighter.

LOL that video is hysterical! My favorite line would be: "...fully caffeinated double shot of adrenaline espresso, on rage." LOL

Finally some other people that know about Kennywood (lol).

Would be nice to see a new coaster at the park, hopefully its not a letdown.
Any idea if they're taking another ride out to put this in?

Looks like a terrible capacity coaster, but on the other hand Kennywood doesn't exactly have tons of room, so I guess I see why they went with a small coaster.

I guess they are trying to go the way CP and Hershey have gone (the style of coaster) the past few years.

It could be worse. It could be Pinfari.
