WEST MIFFLIN, Pa. -- Kennywood Park near Pittsburgh has announced a Steelers-themed replacement for its longtime Log Jammer ride.

The section will be dedicated to the football team, with Steelers-themed games, a restaurant and other activities.

The new roller coaster is projected to open in 2019.
