The Black Widow, a high-fidelity "Giant Discovery" swinging pendulum ride at Kennywood Park, replaced the iconic Pitt Fall drop tower. The Pitt Fall was a 251-foot tall "High-Fidelity" free-fall ride that stood as a landmark in the "Lost Kennywood" section from 1997 until it was sold and dismantled in late 2011. The Black Widow officially opened in its place in June 2012, offering a high-fidelity thrill that reaches a height of 146 feet and speeds of 68 mph while swinging passengers 120 degrees in either direction. For 2026 visitors, the Black Widow is a high-fidelity cornerstone of the park's thrill lineup, though longtime fans still fondly remember the "High-Fidelity" vertical adrenaline of the Pitt Fall. The transition marked a high-fidelity shift toward high-capacity, "High-Fidelity" multi-dimensional thrill rides that provide a more complex sensory experience than the simple gravity-based drop of its predecessor.
