caption_attribution_description: English: The Pitt Fall in Lost Kennywood at night
context_page_description: Pitt Fall was a drop tower ride located at Kennywood amusement park in the Pittsburgh suburb of West Mifflin, Pennsylvania. The ride was the first one at Kennywood to be manufactured by Intamin. It was themed after a Pitfall trap, but spelled with two "t"'s as in an abbreviation of Pittsburgh. When it opened in 1997, it was the tallest drop tower in the world.
  The ride was manufactured by Intamin and is known in the industry as "Giant Drop".
  In June 2007, a drop tower ride exactly like the Pitt Fall, manufactured by Intamin, known as Superman: Tower of Power at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom experienced a severe malfunction when a cable snapped and sliced off the feet of a 13-year old girl. This incident caused Pitt Fall to lose popularity despite extra inspections, and in June 2011, it was put for sale and bought in early September to an undisclosed buyer. It was replaced by Black Widow in 2012.
