Today, we held two special ribbon-cutting ceremonies, and we couldn’t be more excited about it.

First up, we officially celebrated the reopening of the funicular (incline)! A huge shoutout to Discover Blair County - The First Frontier and America250PA for partnering with us to help make this happen. It will be available on weekends (Saturday/Sunday), starting this Saturday, June 27th. The UTV will be available Wed-Fri starting next week. This will be an alternative way to get to the top for those who can't take the steps.

Right after that, we dedicated our brand new, 80-foot flagpole that's now sitting proud right on top of the observation area. It feels amazing to see a massive flag flying high over the Curve once again. 🇺🇸

Seriously, thank you so much to everyone who has supported us, cheered us on, and helped make these big dreams a reality. Come out and see the new view and take a ride on the funicular soon!
