D3ath Cab, what kind of question's this? How big's the drop after the banked turn? How are we supposed to know that? I research roller coasters everyday, & even I don't know the answer to that question. All we know's that the first drop of Phantom's Revenge's 160 feet & the second drop's at 232 feet. Other than that, there's a banked turn, it goes under a poorly designed tunnel, & it has crazy bunny hills filled with lots of ejector air at the end. Also, who really cares? It's not like that drop's the highlight of the ride anyway.

You need to calm down, he was just asking a question. However, I don't know the answer.

^ Yeah. Chill dawg.
Not sure what the drop is on that, and I'm not sure who would know. I don't really think it is a stat that is worth knowing.

I wasn't trying to be mean or anythang, but like Hercules said, it's a statistic that'll never be discovered because it's not a key element of Phantom's Revenge.

first off "he" is a "she", you're welcome D3ath Cab.
second - my suggestion is to send an e-mail to the park and ask them. The folks at Kennywood are pretty accomodating, give it a try. Here is the Public Relations contact:
Mary Lou Rosemeyer
412.461.0500 x1248
PR@kennywood.com
third - I don't think anyone knows everything about coasters but I'm sure there is some sick demented enthusiast somewhere is this world who does know this stat.
fourth - can we try to be a "little" civil around here and not turn this place into coasterbuzz part deux

Thank you for remembering my gender larrygator!
I sent Ms. Rosemeyer an e-mail about it a few hours ago.
Also, the reason that I was wondering this was because I had just gone on the Phantom's Revenge a few weeks ago and I wondered what that drop was like compared to the others. And I also wanted to know how big a drop I had been down without screaming.

The ride department says that the drop is 75-80 feet tall.
