Steel Force like its Cedar Fair brethren Mamba at Worlds of Fun and Wild Thing at Valleyfair is a Morgan Manufacturing designed Hypercoaster.



These designs chief feature is simply height, speed and airtime.



Steel Force is a massive piece of machinery that makes most park guests go "woah".  It is a bit of "shock and awe" that delivers the thrills that many people come to parks for.



Out of the three Morgan hypercoasters Wild Thing is kind of mild, Mamba's first half is amazing followed by a return run that is neutered by mid course brakes but Steel Force just plain rocks all the way through.



With an out and back layout Steel Force gives airtime galore on the way out and back but where the ride really shines is the turnaround.  With strong lateral forces and the train getting faster and faster as you spiral through the downward helix it is a great mix of elements.
