- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ธ.ค. 2021
- Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point is considered by many to be the world's largest roller coaster. Built by Rocky Mountain Construction and designed by Alan Schilke, this monstrous hybrid coaster has the record for the most airtime of any coaster. And I believe it! You spend more time out of your seat than you're in it. And RMC did this while reusing Mean Streak's old structure. Is this the world's best coaster? Find out in this review!

This was the first coaster I’ve ever ridden that finally eclipsed my childhood favorite Millennium Force. It is nothing but joy and laughter. It still blows Iron Gwazi away.
It definitely has the length over Gwazi.
if you prefer length and repetition, sure
@@markcornish6393 it’s better than a break run. Vengeance literally does everything Gwazi does with extra hills😂
@@JJJJ-he8bzexcept steel vengeance doesn’t have a 3 second long wave turn that features some of the strongest airtime on a coaster
@@Le_JYT *squinting to see your technicality through the greatest airtime machine ever built*
Yeah, I guess.
First and only ride on this OUTSTANDING coaster was in moderate rain. A memory with my son that I will remember my entire life. Had a smile that lasted an hour afterwards!
Nice!
I've gotten last ride of the night, back row, pouring rain. good god, that was an experience
Nice!
This has been consistently great every visit, every ride, any weather condition, and any row. I got trimless rides on both my cold October 2018 visit and with half-full trains in 2020. When trimless, I noticed the 2nd half is even stronger. My 2021 rides seemed to have the 2nd half as strong as those trimless rides, even though the trims hit. I currently have it as my overall # 2, but it's very close. I think that Twisted Timbers & Storm Chaser have the strongest airtime of any coasters I've ridden, but Steel Vengeance is in that sweet spot that's strong enough for me, but not too much to scare away others.
I think the phone incident that brought about the phone policy happened on Twisted Timbers, and they just applied the same policy to both. My arrival to Cedar Point on an evening in 2018 was the exact day of the hot sauce incident on Steel Vengeance, so all the staff were on high alert for what we had in our hands. Several people with phones out in line got caught and were sent away.
I thought both rides had a phone incident? But clearly Twisted Timbers and this ride are linked together from a loose article standpoint.
I didn't hear of a phone incident on SV that season, but it may have happened. The early one on Twisted Timbers may have just been more high profile.
Morning rides 💀💀💀💀
I rode this at the end of my only day at cedar point without knowing anything about it. Longest wait in line I've ever waited, was hoping it would be worth it. Most fun I've ever had on a coaster. This ride and top thrill dragster (and x at magic mtn) are the only rides I can recall just smiling and laughing the entire time. Just pure fun. This ride has no slow spots, just go go go on your toes the whole time. Loved it.
Glad you loved it!
I love how detailed your videos are compared to others, I always learn something new even if it's small. Didn't know Cedar Fair added the trims so early, I will contend that Mean Streak was a blast when those were off.
Thanks! I imagine Mean Streak full speed before it beat itself up was fun.
This video made me feel like I was on Steel Vengeance again! Absolutely loved this review of my favorite coaster, honestly your best video yet in my opinion
Thank you!
You need more subs..your videos are great love how you combine history of ride with review…kudos and thank you.
Thanks!
This is such a fantastic ride. It was a walk-on the day we were there. We rode it back-to-back 3 times, and I was fine with it. Some rides you need a cool down afterward.. but this one is just so silky smooth and really not disorienting or anything so it was a breeze to ride it again and again. Two thumbs way way up.
Lucky!
@@CanobieCoaster omg, I commented on the wrong vid.. LOL! I've never ridden this one! I thought this was Storm Chaser
Every coaster youtubers favorite ride to review, all time Steel Vengeance. Ever since 2018, this is what had been widely considered the world's best coaster and still holds thst title for most. I'm not going to get into this ride cause there I just to many good things to say about it. The number of airtime moments is way to many for anyone to count if you don't know it already. The outer banks are fantastic. From the big elements in the beginning to the even better small elements in the second half, there is so much to love about it. And the pacing is something that is hard to beat by even other RMCs. Nobody could possibly ever forget about hot sauce the ride.
How could I forget the hot sauce!
Great video! So ready to ride SteVe for the first time next month!
Enjoy!
This ride definitely holds the record for loudest lift hill. It's straight up a power drill through the ears! Jokes aside, the ride is relentless and that's what I love about it. I honestly have a hard time thinking of anything negative about it (besides the long waits and ear-shattering lift hill). CP is my home park and this is easily my favorite ride there and anywhere. My first ride on this was before opening day during the passholder preview day and I rode it at night. Due to problems with the restraints all day long, they kept delaying our ride window. We waited just over three hours for it. I got on, tired and hungry, but I got off thinking "What the hell just happened??"
My first time on Steel Vengeance was after I heard reviews and had been on multiple RMCs so I had an idea what to expect.
totally agree! By far my favorite.. nothing else compares to it, so I find myself getting back in line multiple times. I just wish we could put our phones in a box more towards getting in the cart area.
I'm happy to see you finally reviewing the Cedar Point coasters even if it is wayyyy later than most people expected. I assume TTD is next.
I'm reviewing a different Intamin accelerator next. I'm waiting on Dragster since I already reviewed Ka and it's very similar.
@@CanobieCoaster storm runner?
Dessert Race would be great :D
@@CanobieCoaster Top Thrill DOWNTIME is a shit ride!!
Genuinely one of the greatest coasters of all time. The pacing reminds me of fireworks. Starts big and slower and impressive, then starts to amp it up more and more, and then the last few seconds are an all-out bash in the face
Good comparison!
You Cannot Talk About Cedar Point Without Mentioning How Insane Steel Vengance Is. I Love Steel Vengance ( Or Steeve As A Nickname ). I Marathon It Whenever I Visit Cedar Point. My Most Rides I Had In One Day Was About 23 Rides In A Row ( Waiting In Clueline And Station Exluded ). The Airtime Begins To Hurt After A Number Of Rides But That Doesn't Take Away From The Breathtaking Experience Steel Vengance Has To Offer. It's RMC's Best Creation PERIOD! I Don't Think Any Other RMC Can Get As Close As Steel Vengance Itself ( Except Maybe ArieForce One At Funspot But We'll See Once It Opened. )
Thanks RMC!
Great Video! 👍😁
Thanks! This ride's length and power is hard to beat.
@@CanobieCoaster Yea Definitly!
I’m so excited to ride it soon
Enjoy!
For some bizarre reason, this ride beat me the hell up. I've ridden Twisted Colossus on a monthly basis back when I was living in So Cal (moved to the PNW about a year and a half ago) and I did pretty well on that. However on Steel Vengeance my thighs were in massive pain throughout the ride. I got a break during the inversions (which were really enjoyable). But overall it was just so painful for me. I'll be going again next year because I absolutely love the other coasters at Cedar Point. I'm also looking to lose a lot of weight before my next trip so I'm hoping that also helps with my comfort on the ride. I really want to love this ride!!!!
This definitely throws elements at you faster than Twisted Colossus and it has more prime ride time without a break.
Tbh, I can never understand the hate for RMC's restraints. The lap bar portion is very minimalistic and feels nearly identical to T-Bars for me, and I never even notice the shin guards when on the ride (I'm 6 ft tall for reference)
I have no issue with the restraints. Would I prefer a more open train? Sure, but it doesn't hurt the ride for me.
I’m 6’3”, and they were pretty annoying to me. By contrast I really like the ones on Wicked Cyclone. They’re a bit different, with SV’s shin guards being closer to the seats or at a different angle, not sure. But they dug into my shins whereas WC’s were great. But despite that, it’s an incredible coaster and one of my absolute favorites. I expected it to be crazy, but even then it blew me away.

Yea I agree I’ve never seen the issue
@@DanielCollinsBachata yes as a taller person with longer legs the shin guards dig into your shins
If you're looking for some extra airtime, use the shinguards to your advantage! If you sit forward or push your legs out a bit, the restraint hits your shins and gives you some extra airtime. I had an absolutely phenomenal night ride doing that.
That makes sense.
I’ll definitely do that on my next visit. Thanks!
Haven't been to Cedar Point yet, but I definitely want to get there and ride this. I think the best thing about Steel Vengeance from looking at POVs and reviews is the pacing. Most hypers of this height and length lose a lot of speed by the end, but Steel Vengeance seems to never let up. The only RMC hybrid I've been on is Wicked Cyclone and when that is running slow, it crawls through the last third of the layout, so it's not something RMC got perfect on every project.
This ride has incredible pacing and elements start to finish.
You're in for a treat! I can't get enough of this one! Best rollercoaster in the world!
My number one coaster
It's excellent.
It is my personal number one. My credit count is decent but not insane (221) to give you an idea. I do prefer it to the likes of i305, Lightning Rod, Fury, Skyrush, and more. I don't think it's insurmountable, I actually think if Skyrush was more comfortable it might be my number 1. But for now, it tops my list by a considerable margin. It's worth noting that it ran spectacularly in 2021 and even had decent positives.
This ride has length and quality, so it makes sense.
Since I managed to write most of my impressions of SteVE in my last comment, this one will be shorter. The subsequent turn after the last 0G roll is what piles on the confusion for not only the GP but also coaster enthusiasts like me, and quintessentially encapsulates the craziness of the ride that is Steal Vengeance, which has a prime ride time of 80 seconds (give or take 2 seconds depending on the weather and how much the MCBR uses the trim breaks). I think Steel Vengeance is the best coaster I've ridden, but it doesn't do that by delivering ONLY my favourite elements; that award goes to Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland which I prefer better than Leviathan (and even slightly more than Millennium Force,) but overall neither Behemoth nor Millennium Force beats Steal Vengeance OVERALL, which still holds my #1 spot of any and every coaster I've ridden since my one and so far only visit to Cedar Point in late May 2018. Thanks for this great video!
You're welcome. That final transition out of the zero-G roll really is weird and it's a testament to RMC's smoothness it doesn't kill you.
@@CanobieCoaster Yes, It's both smooth and confusing to everyone! It could quintessentially be the crux of Steel Vengeance's effect on all its guests, due to SteVe's relentlessness, duration and where that element is in the ride, when guests are impressed with all that they've experienced from the ride up to that moment.
Even if the outward banked turn is better, nobody is feeling the ride has lasted longer than expected at that point yet. The only part I find slightly "rough" is the double up to the MCBR and the final bunny hops. But that moment after the last inversion is the biggest single tear jerker from awe moment (if it could be attributed to one moment alone which I do NOT personally think I can) but is sufficient for being the quintessential moment to create awe in the riders, considering the vast context within which it exists and causing every awe struck and teary eyed enthusiastic guest to ask themselves or anyone that will listen "WTF just happened?!" Once an enthusiast has experienced the back car of that ride, tears of awe cannot be stopped.
Thanks for this review of what I consider myself lucky enough to have ridden and is also considered to be the world's best roller coaster and what is so far the best coaster I've ridden.
Excellent 👌
Thanks!
its a great, long ride full of decent moments, but only a small handful of amazing moments, almost all in the first half.
I love almost every element.
@@CanobieCoaster rapid fire weak ejector is just kinda not my bag of chips, feels jarring. the outerbank, top hat and first/second inversions are absolutely stunning.
While it is my favorite roller coaster, I don’t think the ride is perfect as the restraints could be better. The airtime would be even stronger if it had more free restraints.
While the trains could be better, I don't have an issue with them.
I absolutely HATE the shin restraints as it hurts like crazy and I like to be able to move my legs freely from the airtime to just not being locked on leg shackles! That's my only complaint about this ride.
I do believe the restraints are necessary to keep the ride idiot proof (always stupid people trying to do stupid things on dynamic rides like this), I do wonder what the gerstlaur trains would be like. 🤔🤔
@@snoboard91503I’m pretty sure they discussed the premise of gerstlaur trains on steel vengeance at the Geneva convention
@@snoboard91503 I've rode this and new Texas Giant with two fists room on the lap bar and they're very similar experience wise. The ntg lap bar is a little more lightweight and less overbearing, but your body comes out of the seat virtually the same amount once you have room!
Steel Vengeance and Wildcat's Revenge both make a case for best RMC. Steel Vengeance feels like the Energizer Bunny, just keeps going.
I much prefer Vengeance because of its length.
It's on the short list, but Lightning Rod is still my favorite RMC, and Magnum is still my favorite at Cedar Point
Lightning Rod is my favorite RMC too.
@@CanobieCoaster That wave turn might be my single favorite coaster element PERIOD! Nothing like facing the ground SIDEWAYS 100+ plus feet in the air
Mean Streak opened at Cedar Point in 1991 as one of the tallest and longest wooden coasters. Built by Dinn Corporation, the giant wooden coaster Mean Streak opened as well received, but many found it to be a rough ride. In 1994, a trim brake was added to the drop, and over the years some large chunks were retracked, an attempt to increase the comfort, but...
A) It was loved by most guests and enthusiasts
B) It was liked by most guests and enthusiasts
C) It was disliked by most guests and enthusiasts
C
If I'm trying to be precise, there are things I would change if I could. But mostly, they are peripheral issues and not specific to the coaster itself. I certainly wouldn't change the layout. In a fantasy scenario I'd love to see the entire thing surrounded by theming like the coasters at Phantasialand but that isn't necessary and isn't realistic. And I would pick a different restraint system if I could wave a magic wand and change whatever I wanted.
If I could only change one thing about this coaster it would be the queue line. If a coaster usually has a 90 minute wait (and even a 30 minute wait in the fast lane) then they should come up with a way to entertain the people in line. I think there ought to be something to keep people's attention while they wait. It could be fun placards to read. It could be theming. It could be videos of old Peanuts cartoons. But you've got to give people something to make the wait less boring. This is actually my biggest complaint about Cedar Point in general.
But again, I have nothing bad to nitpick about the coaster itself so I guess that would make it perfect.
It's too late, but I wish the ride had a separate unload platform to help get people on and off.
If you have the disability pass I highly recommend a at Cedar point. They do give return times but it is based on a grace period depending on how crowded the day is and not based on the current wait time meaning if they circle and advertised 45 minute weight then the weight would be 45 minutes but if you make steel vengeance the first ride of your day regardless of the wait time you will actually get right on within 5 to 10 minutes and you can choose any row you want to ask the ride operators will grant that for you. The disability pass is a major timesaver at cedar point and I actually prefer this over the fast lane because you go through the exit and get right on.
That sounds like a major timesaver. I have only used a disability pass once at Disney when I was with someone who needed it.
10:28 Look at that timber move. Now THAT is how you do a hybrid.
This structure may sway a tad too much. I know Cedar Point has had to beef it up.
I rode SteVe in July 2018, IDK what my brain was like back then but I remember seeing it with 3 trains.
I visited in August 2018 and they still weren't running 3 trains at that point.
Top 3 steel coaster, depending on the day. Velocicoaster is #1, but I bounce #2 and #3 between Steel Vengeance and Skyrush.
Understandable.
I honestly like airtime as much as every other force, witch is why I personally prefer coasters like Maverick, I305 or even Kärnan to this onslaught of airtime hills.
This ride still slaps though :)
That's fair.
I’ve spent a large chunk of my day waiting for the ride. On a Spring weekend, the app said that the line was 45 minutes. It was 2 1/2 hours. Me and my friends called a non - rider to retrieve our stuff since our locker expired after 2 hours. It was fantastic even being assigned row 7 on a cold day with a headache. Do t know if it’s worth the wait though when Maverick is right there
It's awesome in any row, but the wait is awful.
I waited two hours for this ride WITH a fast pass and it was a sensory overload. Admittedly, it's kind of intimidating how they make you go through metal detectors and lock your personal belongings in lockers right as you approach it. It's definitely the most violent coaster I've ever been on in my life.
I've had some long waits with Fast Lane as well, but it's always worth it.
Steel Vengeance looks like a masterpiece of a ride TBH.
The length and elements are incredible.
Canobie Coaster would say:
And then you experience Steel Vengeance's wild finale. You receive six consecutive ejector airtime pops in rapid-fire succession. Your butt barely has time to return to the seat in between airtime pops. You are bounced out of your seat like a ragdoll. I love the tenacity of this finale, but I know some find it...
Too much.
Steele Vengeance is my #1 and I have ridden both Velocicoaster and Iron Gwazi, which are both in my top 3. Nothing is touching SV and I don’t care what anyone says. The only coaster I must experience that might top it is in Japan.
It's an amazing ride.
Velocicoaster is a lot better.
im ok with it lacking positive G's as i much prefer negative Gs/airtime anyways! airtime is bomb!🤩
Me too.
I just rode this on Tuesday, I was a bit underwhelmed. I had sprained by back on maverick before this so getting slammed into the seat wasn’t the most comfortable. I found magnum better although this is still great, and somehow 12:50 was my favorite element
That definitely could have impacted your enjoyment given how much this bucks you around.
Canobie Coaster would say:
Mean Streak opened in 1991 as the world's tallest wooden roller coaster, standing 161 feet or 49 meters tall. Built by the Dinn Corporation, Mean Streak was well received in its early years, but this monstrous wooden roller coaster quickly became rough. Cedar Point added trims in 1994 to slow the coaster down in an attempt to make it more comfortable, but it was still disliked by a majority of guests and enthusiasts.
If I ask you, was Mean Streak's popularity and ridership increasing, dwindling, or was it similar?
Canobie Coaster would say:
A) More and more people rode Mean Streak as it turned out.
B) Similar, even with the changes.
C) Less and less people rode Mean Streak as it turned out.
C
I can’t believe it that Rocky Mountain construction increased mean streak’s speed from 65 mph to 74 mph
They completely changed the overall ride and added height to do it.

Your butt barely has time to return to the seat in between airtime pops. You are bounced out of your seat like a ragdoll. I love the tenacity of this finale, but I know some find it too much.
Imagine saying: "pretty much", "really much", and "too much". What do you think? What are the biggest differences between the three?
Too is when it goes beyond the threshold.
YES ... the ride is perfect!
It's phenomenal.
@@CanobieCoaster its out of this world amazing. And I say its the best roller coaster in the world. ☺
It’s dumb how incredible this coaster is, that layout should be illegal it’s too good. The only flaws with Steel Vengeance are with it’s slow dispatching and locker/loose article policy it feels so tedious to get on.
I agree. I wish I could ride it more.
I’m going to cedar point this month and I wanna know if this and other good rides like maverick, millie, mxl200, gatekeeper and raptor have good reliability considering how annoying rides breaking down are
Gatekeeper and Raptor are prone to closing in wind. Magnum closes in rain. All the ones you mentioned are usually reliable.
I remember the first time I was waiting in line, when me and someone else were lined up parralel to the 5th hill of the 6 airitime hill finale, we saw sunglasses and a phone sitting next to the coaster. (No one could reach it because of the ginourmous fence) and we all thought it was bizzare. I believe this was before the phone policy but correct me if I am wrong. This was in Mid July 2018.
I believe the phone policy started in August 2018.
Hey, @Canobie Coaster, you should do a review of all the major coasters at cedar point as well the ride, Skyhawk there
I plan to review a large chunk of the park's coasters.
Oh ok, sounds good, by the way, you’re my favorite TH-camr!😊
This is a VERY close second for my favorite coaster. Skyrush just barely tops this ride for me personally
Skyrush is crazier.
Still top ten for me but the restraints combined with the awkwardly sharp hills at the end knock it down for me. I definitely prefer the terrain layouts and more comfortable trains of Outlaw Run and Iron Rattler more
I don't have a comfort issue.
i love the last hills. the pull of them is insane of their size, but if the restraints for are uncomfortable for you i can understand why you wouldnt like them. they sorta remind me of magnum’s triangle hills just much smoother
I rode steel vengeance this past summer and I kinda found the ride to be really overrated at first, heck I initially liked millennium force and maverick way better. However, as I got more rides my opinion altered. Although I still believe that steel vengeance was overhyped, I can’t deny how amazing this ride was which is why it sits at my number 5 spot between Maverick and Fury325. Just not the “best in the world” ride I expected, still great though.
It did everything I expected when I rode it and it has never let me down.
100% agree, it feels like a bigger version of every other rmc, It has all the same generic elements of every rmc. I do enjoy the ride but it’s not the ride I thought it would be
I also think it is very overrated. I did 5 rides on it, and my final opinion is what you thought of it at first, with it being #3 behind Maverick and Dragster instead of Millie. Even a back row night ride left me wanting more
I agree, I think its overrated as well. It personally sits outside of my top 15 if I had to rank
@@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239 I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s very overrated but I do get how some people think it it a tiny bit overrated
Damn it. Second.
Either way I wish I could get to America to ride your world class coasters.
@Tom Whalen UK. I have a marijuana record for importing from Spain. American won't let me in for years now.
There are a lot of great ones here!
@@Thesmokercoaster No offense but why would you reveal that info online?
@@coasterhockygamingboy9549 coz weed should be legal everywhere and available to anyone who wants to grow or smoke or eat it or whatever. It's medicinal benefits are astounding and have been know to eve suppress the growth of cancer and even reverse the growth in some cases.
I am happy I have done time for knowing I have help so many people with there problems from depression to cancer treatment symptoms.
A world of warning from a steel vengeance op: cedar point does not always keep the line open up until close folks
Thanks for the heads up! The only time I ever saw them close it early was in 2020 with the boarding passes, which I thought was a special case.
@@CanobieCoaster They were doing it in the spring hours this year, but I obviously can’t speak for the future because their policies can change by the day
they were closing it early in the beginning of the 2021 season, but they stopped doing that around june and it stayed that way the rest of the season. but we'll have to see
Would you like to go again to Cedar Point and ride Steel Vengeance? What do you think, and why?
Yes, love both.
Would you like to ride Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point again? What do you think?
Absolutely
Any tips to get over that drop? That drop scares me even though I never rode it.
It's just a few seconds long.
Yes. It’s perfect.
It's amazing.
Just to make sure you can still bring your phone through most of the queue line and put it in the free lockers right
With the current set-up, yes.
@@CanobieCoaster thank you
I'm glad you mentioned that Mean Streak was a walk-on in its last years. The only way I would describe it is it was rough but BORING...slow as molasses while your teeth were chattering from the vibration. I felt this way even before the trims were added. I can count on one hand the times I rode it, and was always disappointed.
I wasn't usually disappointed by Mean Streak, mostly since it's hard to be disappointed by a 0 min wait at a busy park.
Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point was considered by many to be among the best RMC coaster conversions. Find out why?
The history started with a wooden roller coaster named...
Mean Streak
Came from Discord
Nice!
It’s pretty much close to but the restraints could be better for example getting rid of those shin guards
I wish the trains were better, but I don't have an issue with them.
@@CanobieCoaster fair enough I like the trains but the restraints aren’t bad just wish the shin guards would go away
I initially loved this coaster but have recently not liked it as much. The second half in particular doesn’t do much for me since the airtime is so quick and there’s not much variety. If it had some more memorable elements throughout I would like it more. Still a good ride though.
I enjoy the fast pops and how they contrast with the first half.
sweet
Sure is.
Would you like to go to Cedat Point again, and ride this? What do you think?
Definitely!
I’ve noticed that operations of the ride were swift during this year. Has it been worse in the past? I don’t remember if it was.
I've heard they've been great the past 2 years.
I know it's a weird comparison, but do you prefer this, or ride to happiness?
Ride to Happiness is superior quality, but I prefer Steel Vengeance slightly since it's a much longer ride.
Well it looks like I'm going to Sandusky, Ohio in the not too distant future. It's a long way away.
Enjoy!
Roblox has a remake of this coaster and the POV makes you feel like you're really there.
Nice!
RMC needs to step their train design up. Never liked their restraints and shin guards. I mean, I get the shin guards. Don't want legs flying up and getting crushed between 2 cars in a valley. I do like their hand rest/grab bars though. And they also need to work on quieting their lift hills too. Really dislike how they haven't seemed to address any of these issues. Would love some 3 across trains or something to increase capacity.
I don't have an issue with the restraints, but I agree better trains would only help.
@@CanobieCoaster I kind of say the same thing, that I don't have a problem with them. And I guess I don't. But then I think, lap bars are far too heavy and hard to push up on which slows down operations and is a pain, they often times will lock further on you as you get into positive G's, the seats sometimes lack padding right near your tailbone, the shin guards, the lack of space in the trains (barely enough room for your foot to sit straight) etc. I can't help but feel I'm giving them a bit of slack. I mean imagine an RMC coaster with raised up auditorium seating, that's wide open/no sides, with one of those over the shoulder like lapbar systems new Intamin's and Mack's use that lock in place, with tons of room, good padding etc.
I think they call that weird element on the third lap a “breaking wave turn”
Ah ok
love iyt
Me too.
I always wondered, how is Steel Vengeance a hyper coaster if it goes upside down?
A hyper coaster is any coaster between 200 and 299 feet regardless if it has any inversions or not
@@eelovfx9200 Xcelerator at Knotts is 205 feet, same height as steel vengeance and it's not a hyper.. not all roller coasters 200 feet and above are considered hypers, especially ones with inversions.
@@sipsteaanditsunsweet5618 that’s because it’s classed as a mega
I'm going off the height.
Honestly, the ‘hyper’ coaster has really no importance. Cedar Fair simply wanted a marketable name for their new 200+ foot ride. B&M lists Fury 325, Leviathan, Orion, and Goliath at La Ronde as hyper coasters, although none of those are between 200 and 300 feet. Your definition of hyper can be different, as Intamin’s “hyper” coasters are labeled as mega coasters, even though most are between 200 and 300 feet. For simplicity, I consider any ride between 200 and 300 feet and hyper coaster, even Steel Vengeance and Xcelerator. I would also consider Red Force a giga, even though it does not have a lift hill.
10:37 who else saw the stall moving?
I sure did.
The discomfort of this ride completely killed my enjoyment of it. The bunny hills at the end were torture and the lap bar left my stomach bruised (I'll admit I'm a bigger guy.) RMC seems to have a habit of punishing bigger riders on airtime hills, especially their raptor models. I can see why people love this ride, but I'll have to lose about 30 lbs to try again. I rode Storm Chaser on the same trip and I thought that was much more comfortable.
That finale isn't forgiving if you dislike the restraints.
@@CanobieCoaster I mean I still rode it 11 times in the two days I was there... I had to give it a fair shot...but yeah I drove down to Carowinds the next day and I was beat up.
RMC should figure out clam shells somehow.
How come RMC doesn't build any I-Box coasters from scratch? Don't have the capacity to build full coasters or just want to focus on the conversions?
They build some from scratch. ArieForce One and Zadra are two ground-up IBox coasters.
@@CanobieCoaster ah I see
The characters Cedar Fair made for Steel Vengeance remind me of Overwatch for some reason.
Never played that game.
@@CanobieCoaster I used to play it. The first time I saw the Steel Vengeance characters the art style and theme reminded me of the character McCree.
If I ask you about the history of Steel Vengeance, the RMC hybrid coaster at Cedar Point, what would you think?
I talk about that at the start of this review.
7:13 really? Because at the front of the queue is a giant sign saying "Warning: Because this ride is so popular, you may not get the seat you desire." or something along the lines of that.
It's not guaranteed, but usually they grant seating requests. The only time I was denied was after closing time hit and during the pandemic when a seat was already occupied.
its my home park and i have 50 total rides on it. I ask for a row every time and believe they've only turned me down 3 times, with all three being in 2020 when they were being extra cautious
How scary is the drop. I’m not used to massive drops but really want to do this ride
The drop throws you out of your seat but it's over fast.
@@CanobieCoaster the biggest drop I’ve done was 98 ft and it was not a steep drop at all but it wasn’t bad but this is definitely a step up so do you think the 200 ft should scare me or the 90 degree drop or is it nothing?
I still like the Beast. Yes Steel Vengeance is great, but I love the Beast.
Beast is fun too.
Why am I only just learning about RMC shin guards 7:48 they look like a saw trap! As someone with very long legs who's very excited to travel the world and ride them, what the actual fuck
I'm fortunate I'm not tall enough to be bothered by them.
I love steel v vengeance I want to get on steel vengeance it's my best roller coaster
It's incredible.
I've ridden Steel Vengeance many many times and while it is a very good coaster it's a bit overrated. The airtime of course is good but I prefer intensity over airtime personally
That's fair. I'll take the airtime.
You're saying it's not intense? Because I personally think it's the most intense ride at cedar point lol
I thought Lrod was always your #1 before SteVe opened.
Steel Vengeance was my favorite steel coaster. Lightning Rod was my favorite wood coaster until it became a steel coaster this year, which is why it now passed Steel Vengeance in the steel department.
The popularity and the attendance of people in the lines and if people liked rides on Mean Streak throughout its history was raising, increasing, equal, similar, declining, dwindling?
Less and less people rode Mean Streak as it aged.
I rode this once each on two days this summer, with fast lane, and the line was easily 90 minutes each time. I love the ride but the wait is horrible.
That's crazy Fast Lane took that long.
Steel Vengeance is the world's largest roller coaster? Wow, how long was I napping?
Largest Hybridcoaster
It opened as the tallest and fastest hybrid.
you were napping longer because it isn't that 😂
@@coasterhockygamingboy9549 It says in the description. Just a typo I'm sure
how is it going?- brotherL-ove it-total well !;))
Going well, hope you're doing well too!
They should have a team of professionals from a nascar pit crew load the train
Like Zadra or Medusa Steel Coaster? Both those rides had fast and massive crews.
@@CanobieCoaster Totally, I bet cedar point and the guests at the park would totally value that
Oooooh yeeeesss. THE GREATEST RIDE EVER BUILT APPEARS ON 16:02!!! WAIT!!! HOLD ON!! Did I hear THIS correctly:
Steel Vengeance is now your second favorite coaster you've ever ridden... and it's only behind LIGHTNING ROD???
Yes. I rode this and Voyage 24 hours apart and Steel Vengeance was the superior ride.
@@CanobieCoaster OMG OMG OMG!!! I ABSOLUTELY CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR TOP 50 WOODEN COASTERS, STEEL COASTERS, AND BEST OF ALL, YOUR OVERALL TOP 50(Squeals in excitement!)!!!!!
Damn new Texas gaint could’ve became steel vengeance
Yes, if it were done later.
Before watching: Steel Vengeance is NOT a perfect coaster, even by my standards and preferences; I prefer more sustained elements taken at any speed, but generally faster. But if this was a perfect coaster, there'd be no reason to build other thrill coasters after this one. Having said that: it is my favourite coaster of the coasters I've ridden due to the bigger picture; all the elements thrown at you in 78 seconds; 28.2 seconds of airtime as measured in car 3 (not including the pre lift hill bunny hills), which means airtime is even more in cars that are further from the middle, especially the front and back cars.
I rode it a total of only 10 times in the 4 days I was there in late May 2018 (due to one train ops from a minor collision in the station). The 1st time I rode it was in the back row and my impression was stunned shock resulting in tears of appreciation of a coaster one has yet to digest after one's 1st ride. I rode it 8 times in either rows 11 or 12 (the back car) and once in row 9 (the 2nd back car) and once in row 7 (the third back car), so I never got to ride it in the front half of the train, but I did love my row 9 ride almost as much as I did rows 11 and 12.
Other than SteVe being guilty for not focusing on my favourite elements; my only criticism is that I'd prefer the last bunny hills to be larger and less numerous. I'm also afraid of the airtime of the double up to the MCBR in the front because it hurt my penis even in the back car; during a portion of the ride where where any ups (singe, double triple etc,) are the weakest in the back car for airtime, yet I found to be the strongest airtime on Steel Vengeance, even in the back seat, because no other part of the ride hurt any part of my body as much as the double ups to the MCBR hurt my... (I said it before. Am I allowed to say it hurt a part of my body that it hurt and use the correct name for that part of my body?)
My favourite part of the ride was the outward banked turn. I'd've loved the "top hat" that preceded it but I found the drop off it to interrupt the blissful sensation of airtime with a jerk to the right; a disappointing sensation which the outward banked turn managed to avoid.
I love how Steel Vengeance includes a mix of sustained and wildly aggressive airtime. I can see how some of the moments like the double up into the mcbr and final hills are too much, but I love the craziness.
I still haven't done my after comment yet ;) but thanks for understanding; Steel Vengeance is so good it's off the radar screen of great coasters; its entire package is something any coaster enthusiast cannot help but love and is why I believe it deserves the title of the best coaster created so far, DESPTE its imperfections, at least in my humble opinion.
I find that half the time the posted estimated wait time is inaccurate for this ride.
Over or under estimated?
@@CanobieCoaster usually over estimated (especially later in the day). Other times it’s spot-on.
@@CanobieCoaster there was one time in particular where the posted wait time was 1-1/2 hours and I waited 45 minutes.
Steel Vengeance only had 74 seconds of prime ride time when I rode it in 2019
It was trimless and every hill was strong ejector
Made my legs feel numb
Nice!
Millennium Force is better - but Vengeance will eat you alive. Loved Mean Streak - especially towards the end because the lines didn't exist. You could ride for hours on it with no wait.
The lack of lines for Mean Streak was the ride's biggest pro.
This line was 45 minutes last time I went that was a steel.
Lucky!
@@CanobieCoaster lol 😂 I was so excited couldn’t believe it but then 45 minutes went by and it turn into a hour because the ride broke down.
If you visit Cedar Point to exclusively ride coasters on a day trip, Fast Lane Plus is a requirement. Pay to play is what I told my son. We had 22 coaster rides in a single day! TTD, Millennium, Steel Vengeance, Maverick, Magnum, Raptor, Gate Keeper, Wicked Twister,...all of it! Money well spent!
@@samich57 hopefully is not that bad and plus one year me and my cousin rode the Millennium Force 3 times in a row.
Also, at 118kmh, it's very fast, why is it even so popular?
People love thrill rides.
