Hold on to your hats. Actually, scratch that. Don’t even wear one. Because to say you launch out of the station is an injustice. This coaster catapults you forward so quickly, you’re not even sure if there’s a track in front of you. But with a name like Steel Venom, are you surprised? Short as it may seem, one trip on the Steel Venom is enough to make you come back for seconds, thirds, and tenths.
Once the ride begins, riders are accelerated in less than four seconds to 68 mph toward the forward tower before dropping back down through the station house and up the back tower. The train runs along a 656-foot U-shaped track, incorporating two 185-foot vertical spikes. The forward spike features a twisted spiral while the backward spike provides a straight freefall.
Be on the lookout during this ride – there is a thrilling surprise waiting during every final descent. Strap in, and get ready to stop, drop and roar.
Guests must be between 52" and 78" tall to ride.
