"The Steel Curtain" refers to the defensive line from the Steelers in 1970s. That defence helped win the team four Super Bowls in that decade. |
Built on the site of the former Log Jammer flume. |
Steel Curtain closed on July 26th 2023. Because of the forces created by the coaster, additional support footers and beams were needed. After the necessary adjustments were made, the ride reopened on May 24th 2025. |
Please see the notes on the Banana Roll page for an explanation why the rcdb considers the Steel Curtain an eight inversion roller coaster while the park advertises it as nine. |
'Steel Curtain' is the centerpiece of 'Steelers Country', a new themed area based on the city's professional football team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. The roller coaster's logo and name make reference to the local steel industry. |
