This roller coaster is the main attraction for a new park area called Steelers Country with a theme based on the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers defensive line from the 1970s that helped the team win four Super Bowl. The color scheme for the Steel Curtain roller coaster is not surprisingly identical to that of the football team.
