Kennywood marketing director Keith Hood wouldn't offer any predictions on Phantom's Revenge's impact on attendance. Kennywood doesn't disclose attendance anyway. But he said the new ride was expected to have a dramatic impact. And a hot roller coaster is a competitive advantage. They'll go from park to park, just for coasters.
People go where they find what they enjoy.
Kennywood wouldn't disclose the cost of Phantom's Revenge. Cost isn't the only issue. Kennywood's physical space is limited. In most cases, it has to tear something down to add a new ride. Kennywood took a unique approach with the new Phantom's Revenge.
