Kennywood's New Steel Curtain Coaster Out Of Service Again
It's been a bumpy ride thus far for Kennywood's eagerly anticipated new coaster.

PITTSBURGH, PA - For the second time in three days since it opened to the public, Kennywood's new Steel Curtain coaster was taken out of service Monday. The park announced via Twitter that the highly anticipated new ride had taken a "morning timeout" and was expected to be back in operation later in the day.
About four hours later, the rides resumed.
On Saturday, the first day Pennsylvania's tallest coaster was open to the general public, the ride shut down early because of that the park termed "technical difficulties."

“Part of the process with a brand-new, big-time ride!” the park stated on social media.
The news from the park wasn't all glum, however. The Sky Rocket, which has not been operational since last May because of coaster-grounding technical difficulties, is up and running again.
