Phantom's Revenge
Opened: 2001 | Builder: Arrow Dynamics/Morgan

After the 2000 season, the Steel Phantom was heavily modified to create the Phantom's Revenge. Along with the removal of all its inversions, the park extended the coaster's second drop below the Thunderbolt to 228 feet and added plenty of banked curves and airtime hills. Now reaching speeds up to 85 mph, this coaster remains a crowd favorite of Kennywood guests. Riders must be at least 48" tall to ride.

The Exterminator
Opened: 1999 | Builder: Reverchon

Ever wonder what it's like being a sewer rat? You can now experience this on The Exterminator, where riders are literally strapped to the back of a rat traveling through underground utilities and sewers. This heavily themed roller coaster offers numerous hairpin turns and drops as the individual cars spin around the track in the dark. Full of surprises, riders can never know what's coming next. Riders must be at least 46" tall to ride.
