The Phantom's Revenge

Check out this rare view of Thunderbolt before Steel Phantom (and later Phantom’s Revenge) passed through the structure.

There's something mystical about the park blanketed in fog - real or artificial! The only difference is that you don't have to worry about the Phantom's fearful friends sneaking up on you with the real stuff.

2021 season passes are now live! You’ll notice that there are a few new additions this year, so make sure to read through to see what each one includes. Remember that if you bought a 2020 season pass, it’s automatically extended through next year!

Phantom's airtime-packed finale is sure to get you up out of your seat!

From the air, it's easy to see how Phantom's Revenge interacts with the terrain. It is thanks to Thunderbolt's ravine that Phantom's second drop can be the longest roller coaster drop in Pennsylvania.

In 30 minutes, Kennywood’s 2020 season will come to an end. To those of you who visited, I hope you all enjoyed your days there. The park is now closed until April 2021!
