Duquesne Incline

 

The Duquesne Incline scales the side of Mount Washington. The Duquesne Incline opened on May 7, 1877. The incline is open 365 days a year. The Incline takes great pride in the Steelers. On gameday, a sign in added to each of the Incline cars. The left one reads "DEEE" and the right reads "FENSE". When the cars pass each other halfway up the mountain, they read

"DEEE FENSE"

Steeler Flash Greetings

Cathedral of Learning

 

1898 - Kennywood's Centennial Year - 1998

Kennywood has several great rollercoasters, including one of the fastest, steepest steel coasters in the world, the Phantom's Revenge. The others are the Thunderbolt, Jack Rabbit, and Racer.

Roller Coasters have always been my favorite.

but.......

I did the Sky Coaster for the first time and WOW what a feeling!!
