Kennywood has really come a long way. I haven’t been there this year but last year was such a huge improvement over what the park was just a few years back that it was hard to believe it was the same place.
It doesn’t seem like it’s technically that crazy of a ride to keep open. Structural problems or what? God bless whatever park gets the first s&s axis lol
I honestly don’t think this is strictly a S&S thing. It may be more related to a vendor that they used for this ride. As for what it is I believe it’s been a mixture of train issues and structural issues. The trains weren’t really an issue until they changed the seat belt locking system per, IIRC, a parques reunidos regulation… I think those may be taken care of but there’s been repeated times that crews have been spotted welding parts of the structure. My hope is that the ride is closed this time to finally fix those issues once and for all but time will tell.
It’s been a nightmare of a ride for sure but I don’t think it’s a direct concern of future S&S installations per se. Max Force hasn’t seemed to have anywhere near this level of issues and the free spins and other rides have been pretty reliable.
