Steel Eel • SeaWorld San Antonio

Airtimes Masterpiece Ejectors Rattle

This ride is just straight up amazing, the back row is the way to go with this one, no doubt. The ride has powerful ejector airtime in the back row, but the downside is that it is not exactly smooth in the back. The ride is 150 feet tall but delivers a better experience then the much larger mamba at worlds of fun. I cant say enough how amazing this ride is and it sits firmly in my top 50. The first drop has ejector like an rmc and the double hill is insane, then in the giant downward helix the positive force is pretty insane and also has a great head chopper at the end. The ride is amazing from start to finish and in my opinion is the best in the park, just edging out texas stingray.

Airtimes Lap Bar Nice surprise! Discomfort

As my first Morgan "hyper" coaster, I was very impressed with this ride. This thing is full of floater airtime in both the front and the back. In the front you get airtime over the crest of every hill, and in the back it is even more sustained, as you get airtime down each drop as well. In the back, you actually get slammed into your seat at the bottom of every hill because you are floating all the way down, so I would recommend the front of you want a more comfortable ride experience. The ride ops did not staple so there was plenty of room in the lap bars which added to the fun. Other than the butt slamming, this ride is smooth for its age and very fun. It is a great fit at this park and a reason alone to come.

Airtimes Location Duration Discomfort

I think all this ride needs to be a world class coaster is new trains. If Steel Dragon 2000 can have clamshells, Steel Eel should too. The trains on this ride aren't great. They feel plastic and cheap, and there's a terribly placed knob between the legs. But for the coaster, it's phenomenal. Excellent airtime and laterals, good pacing, and a wonderful location.

Airtimes Fun Duration

This is one of the most underrated coasters I have ridden. The airtime is sustained and intense, especially in the first half. The ending hills are good to but the first half is really the best part. This ride has gotten me very excited for other Morgan hypers in the future.
