Made an account specifically for KPConnection, still found nothing. Any other Kennywood fan sites?

It doesn't show much, aside from a ride envelope. Can't even read the small print to see if there are inversion or launches.

Looks to me like a wood coaster layout. Just my opinion. Looks fun too.

Mean Streak it depends on when they are going to announce it for me, it SEEMS like its all hands on deck for Mean Streak for 2017, i could be wrong but it would be a little odd to have Kennywood and Cedar Point building an RMC when they are really not far from each other.

It's not opening in 2017.

Why would it be weird to have an RMC at CP and KW? I'm excited to see how they both turn out. Honestly, being that close could be great for RMC during construction.

One has to consider if they're removing such a large portion of the lift to build a steel truss structure onto the ride. It would easier to build and it would probably fair better against the high winds on the peninsula.

Welp. Steel cross beams going up at Mean Streak, with a small new hill added to the pre lift! Now the only question that remains is it iBox or Topper Track.
