The story of Phantom's Revenge
Kennywood's great steel chapter began with Steel Phantom in 1991. Set among the older pleasures of the West Mifflin park, it brought record speed and a tremendous ravine drop to a landscape long known for classic coasters and the park lagoon. kennywood.com· pittsburghmagazine.com
By 2000, the park had announced that Steel Phantom would be dismantled. The reaction from riders helped turn demolition into reinvention, and D.H. Morgan Manufacturing was brought in to remake the coaster rather than erase it. wpxi.com· coasterpedia.net
The winter work was no small undertaking. Crews removed large sections of the old track, built new foundations and supports, moved utility lines, made a service road, and anchored supports deep into the rock below Kennywood's hilly ground. wpxi.com
When Phantom's Revenge opened on May 19, 2001, the four inversions were gone and the ride ran faster, with an 85 mph top speed and a second plunge of 232 feet. In 2026, Kennywood marked its twenty-fifth anniversary with station and queue improvements. wpxi.com· kennywood.com
