Kennywood’s Phantom’s Revenge Gets National Accolade

WEST MIFFLIN, PA —Kennywood once again is receiving national recognition, this time having won a USA Today 10Best Readers' Choice Award for having the nation’s best coaster —the Phantom’s Revenge.

The award was determined in a reader’s poll.

As its regular riders know, there are thrills galore on the Phantom, whose biggest drop is its second one - a whopping 230 feet at a speed of 85 mph. The Phantom also passes terrifyingly close to the Thunderbolt, Kennywood’s classic wooden coaster and there are plenty of banked curves along its 3,365 feet of track.
