Found a video with footage of Steel Phantom on YouTube. It's a nice piece of history. Check it out:

Unfortunately, I never got to ride it in its looping incarnation. Does anyone here prefer it over Phantom's Revenge? I would assume Steel Phantom suffered from the requisite Arrow headbanging, especially considering the amount of speed that second drop generated. It was the closest thing to my dream coaster, a terrain, hyper, looping coaster.

Phantoms Revenge is trash compared to Steel Phantom I miss it so much. It was a beautiful coaster to watch go though it's run.

I will always respect the original Steel Phantom, but I think Phantom's Revenge is far more rideable and fun, and has a much better chance of being an enduring classic. For me, it's proof that reprofiling can sometimes change a ride for the better. Still, the video is a great find and nicely encapsulates a historic moment in coaster development.

I remember that video, I saw it a year or two ago on Kennywood Connection, it wasn't on YouTube though.

My head hurts just thinking about Steel Phantom. I'll take the newer version any day over the old.
