Steel Force 5,600 feet long
Steel Force 5,600 feet long, Steel Force is a roller coaster at Dorney Park in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Built by D. H. Morgan Manufacturing and designed by Steve Okamoto, it opened in 1997. It is 5,600 feet (1,700 m) in length (over 1-mile (1.6 km)), making it the longest coaster on the East Coast. It has a 205-foot (62 m) first drop, with a top speed of 75 miles per hour (121 km/h). Riders experience over 2.5 G’s at the bottom of the first hill.
Steel Force is the ninth longest steel roller coaster in the world and the longest such rollercoaster on the East Coast of the United States.
When Steel Force opened, it laid claim to being the longest, fastest and tallest roller coaster on the East Coast. The title of longest coaster on the East Coast still stands. It has been ranked among the top 10 steel coasters in the world. S
Steel Force’s logo was originally intended for the stand-up coaster Mantis, which had opened at Cedar Point a year earlier. Mantis initially was to be named “Banshee,” but had its name changed for sensitivity reasons. The logo was no longer appropriate after the name change, so Dorney Park adopted it for its Steel Force coaster a year later.
