Good ride. The bunny hills give surprising airtime.

First Drop Rattle Disappointing! Discomfort
It's pretty much the same layout as Mamba -- big first drop, airtime hills, helix turnaround, trim brake, bunny hills. Mamba does it better. SF started shaking after the first drop. The airtimes are followed by the standard Morgan "clunk" as the train reacquaints itself with the track, and then your butt slams down on the seat. Not a comfortable ride overall, particularly the bunny hills at the end.

Airtimes Fun Discomfort
While it has its janky moments, this was probably the most fun coaster for me at Dorney. Great airtimes, especially with the loose fitting lap bars, has some intense moments as well.

Airtimes Lap Bar Duration
Fun ride, for sure. 6 rides in a row, each one had fantastic airtime and a great sense of speed. The final hills are really fun as well.

Nice surprise! Fun Smoothness Airtimes Dead spots
The return trip - at least on my last ride - was pretty good and had some airtime. However, the beginning leaves some to be desired.

Most underrated coaster by far. The first drop and speed alone should put this in top 25.

Lap Bar Nice surprise! Smoothness
Just like Dorney Park itself, Steel Force is a very underrated ride! The ride is very similar to Magnum at Cedar Point, but in some ways, it's better! It's smoother, feels faster, and has a better lap bar. Actually...the lap bar didn't even touch my lap! I really can't see why people don't like this ride or find it boring.

Airtimes Lap Bar Intensity Dead spots Layout
Good but not great. It does have airtime, but you need to wait for it to warm up. My favorite moment is either the helix or the drop off the brake run in the back. Ride in front or back. “Magic seat” is a myth on this one.

Airtimes Lap Bar Fun
Steel Force is one heck of an airtime machine! All the hills actually deliver strong negative G-forces, thanks to the lap bars which allow plenty of room for airtime. And the helix is really intense too and also delivers some laterals! My favorite part of this ride experience is easily the finale with the three mini camelbacks because those three hills actually deliver violent ejector airtime and the airtime is also snappy! If you want to feel the most ejector airtime, I would highly recommend sitting in the back seat! Overall, Steel Force is one heck of an airtime machine and is one of my favorite rides at Dorney Park!

Airtimes Fun
This was the first hyper I ever went on. I knew I could do it, because it was just a bigger version of the Comet at TGE in my mind. I loved it! I sang the Superman TAS theme the entire time, even though I was at a Cedar Fair park. Nice airtime!

Airtimes First Drop Lap Bar
Morgan makes some excellent rides and this one is no exception. Those restraints allow for tons of airtime room and constantly floating up and slamming back down with positives is so much fun. This coaster also has some nice laterals on the long helix and coming out of it. Definitely the best coaster at Dorney.

The Cadillac of roller coasters, a better Magnum than Magnum.
-
Airtimes Lap Bar Ejectors
The layout is similar to Magnum but it's way smoother. There's some incredible flojector airtime and a great sense of speed. The first drop in the back provides nice whip. It's definitely the best ride in the park.

Airtimes Lap Bar Fun
I was not expecting this ride to be as good as it was. The restraints are so good they feel like buzz bars so you get awesome standing airtime on so many moments. The helix also has great laterals and feels very fast. I also really like the weird transitions that slam you up and then back down into your seat. Overall I was not expecting the ride to be as fun and have as many good moments as I did, solid hyper coaster.

Airtimes Lap Bar Location
Much better then Mamba. Helix was good. Solid first half and a good second half with floater. It’s not gonna blow you away but it’s overall a good fun ride.
-
First Drop Fun Duration Discomfort Airtimes
In simple terms it Magnum's brother. Very similar layout with a good but not steep drop and a solid duration. There is one big difference though Steel Force has almost no airtime which is kind of disappointing. One of if not the best part of the ride is the helix section although at the end of the section it does get a bit jerky. You also get a really good view up the chain lift with the view of the whole park. But jut in general a very good coaster and a must do coaster when you visit Dorney Park.

Not anything close to it's counter part at Words of Fun - Mamba. It's the worst Morgan I've been on and shakey
-
Airtimes Fun Ejectors
Super underrated ride! While the first drop isn't that steep, I still got a good amount of floater on it from the back. Later in the course you go through a really fun and long helix, which then transitions to a set of Magnum-esque airtime bunny hills that give some similarly brutal ejector airtime; seriously, you get slammed up and down in your seat if you don't staple yourself. Ride in the back for the most airtime, and prepare yourself for that ejector so you don't hurt yourself.

First Drop Dead spots
6.0 out of 10! I thought it would have been better as I drove up to the park. It needs some new trains.

Could not fathom the high ratings on this one. Want to know how to make a hypercoaster slow, airtime free and forceless? Come try Steel Force.

Airtimes Location Intensity
It's not the most forceful hyper in terms of airtime. The airtime is pretty solid throughout, but nothing mind blowing. What is mind blowing is the helix, which is absolutely enormous and gives a huge combination of positive and lateral forces. For that helix alone makes this ride kick ass.
