- Kevin,
- I have several stories of the opening of the Steel Phantom which include
- some complete onride footage. What comes to mind is if you are really
- interested in a real good complete circuit of the Steel Phantom (plus all
- the other Kennywood coasters), you could order the Coaster Con convention
- tape. If you are an ACE member you probably got information on it in one
- mailing. If you are not an ACE member, shame on you. It is a video of 1
- hour in length that contains all the highlights of the ACE Coaster Con XIV
- held at Kennywood Park in 1991. There is also one from Coaster Con XV
- held at Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens that has on-ride POV footage of
- all their coasters. I don't have the address on hand if you are
- interested. If you are interested and need more information about the
- professional video or getting a video from me, e-mail me and I will give
- you more details. I am normally interested in getting something I don't
- have in trade but I have been known to make an occasional video for ACE
- members for cost of tape, postage and a very small handling charge.
