Pittsburgh amusement park opening Steelers-themed area, roller coaster

Pittsburgh amusement park Kennywood is giving Steelers fans an area to call their own.

Kennywood announced Thursday that it's collaborated with the Steelers to open "Steelers Country," a themed area with exclusive merchandise, skill games, and a roller coaster called the Steel Curtain. The ride will feature a North American-record nine inversions - including a 197-foot-tall loop - and will be the tallest roller coaster in Pennsylvania at 220 feet.

"Steelers County" is expected to open in 2019.
