Well, as of Sunday afternoon, it was in pieces.

I have no idea when it will be done.

It will be done in June, and it looks like it will not be very big. It is one of those coasters that thrusts you out of the starting gate at high accelleration, and then throws you around for a little bit after.

Not a huge ride, but nice to see a new addtion at the park.

Looks like they also remodeled the Auto Race and it's painted in a red, white and green pattern... just think of an Italian Village Pizza placed right in the middle of Kennywood and that's what you would get. CoGo's is also sponsoring it just like they did with the Turnpike.
