Steel Vengeance • Cedar Point

Masterpiece Capacity Harness

Demented genius, this ride is. Utterly uncompromising, smooth yet violent, relentless speed and intensity to leave even the most dedicated coaster fan wondering what the hell just happened. You will come back battered, bruised, out of breath, probably on an adrenaline high. It is almost impossible to not whoop and holler as it goes round. I am reminded of the craziness of J2 at Clementon Lake; merged with Magnum's brutality, the intensity of Nemesis and a whole bunch of other original material rolled into one monster of a package. The ONLY downside is it is very hard work to do multiple rides. This ride does plain hurt; and would desperately benefit from a deeper restraint system to spread out the huge amount of force piled onto your thighs for the whole duration. I hear Untamed at Walibi Holland has further refined the RMC train design so there may be adaptations to bring back to SV to help. I cannot imagine we are riding SV in it's finished form at this time; and I am absolutely sure there will be modifications over the coming years. Possibly for the better. Even so, come and experience it while it is what it is; you will not regret it one jot. The ride is not free of problems, 3-train stacking in the station is way too common. Throw more staff at it; add Yukon's bag-bin conveyor - do whatever you have to to get the thing up to speed. It would seriously be worth considering having two staff per four seats to deal with the legal issues imposed with handling carry-on item specific to this ride. All that said, would still get 6 stars on a scale of 1-5. Come ride it!

Airtimes Intensity Duration

Steel Freaking Vengeance. This RMC Hybrid is epic. One if 4 coasters I consider perfect. The ride is amazing. The first drop is crazy the first to hills are awesome. The Inversions are whippy. There’s the first half. The. The second half comes through and destroys everything. Wave turns, ejector hills, more Inversions. It’s got it all. The very best part is the end of the coaster for sure though. 6 consecutive ejector bunny hills that just throw you from your seat. 5700 feet of RMC goodness. Truly one of the best coasters ever made.

Pace Masterpiece Intensity

The airtime is exquisite and the pacing is tighter than any other coaster I've ridden - the only chance to breathe is the MCBR - but the best part of the ride is the absolute intensity, with laterals and ejector all over the layout.

10 out of 10! I have been on some good RMC coasters and they are all rated pretty high by me, but WOW. I can take the 3 highest ones that I have been on so far and add them together to get this one. Need to say more, I got blessed to ride 5 times over 2 days, the best around, can't wait to see what Busch Gardens Tampa will have in 2020.

Theming Disappointing!

We've visited the park twice, months apart, waiting in line for hours talking with others who have done the same only to be disappointed because they never get to ride the coaster because it breaks down. This has to be the most unreliable roller-coaster in the history of Cedar Point! Top Thrill Dragster had fewer breakdowns in it's first whole year than Steel Vengeance has had in the first three weeks of its second year! We have earned the right to say "Steel Vengeance Sucks!!" because of all the time wasted waiting in line in hopes of riding that piece of junk. Tear it down and send it to the scrap yard, then install another Intamin coaster (Intamin coasters are much more reliable and more intense than any other coaster manufacturers in the world).

I love love love this ride, but the lap bar is kind of uncomfortable on your shins

The best coaster in the world enough said.

Airtimes Pace Smoothness

This is my favorite coaster at the moment, and it has some great airtime moments, however not all the airtime was as good as El Toro's airtime. But the airtime was still very amazing. I did not get bruises because of it though so this ride is also very comfortable, and the restraints are comfortable. But part of me feels like that's some what a bad thing because I like a smooth coaster but I also like to get very aggressive jerky airtime, and the airtime didn't feel that jerky. But it's still my favorite and I could see why some people think it is overrated though. However my opinion might change when I ride I-305 and Fury 325 this summer. But this is definitely a great creation by Rocky Mountain Construction.

So yeah. Pro and Con are the same. It has cool airtimes, but the ride is literally only airtime... Uncofortable airtime as is.

Airtimes First Drop Duration Harness

This ride is the best ride ever created. I personally do not know how someone will make a ride better than this. The ride never lets up and the ride doesn't crawl into the finish like some RMCs. There is so much airtime that you are almost out of your seat the whole time. The only thing is that the restraints are a bit weird but other than that the ride is perfect.

Fun Airtimes

There's hardly any forceful airtime. If you want strong airtime just ride any other RMC. The restraints are very uncomfortable.

Airtimes Pace Smoothness

Honestly, I can't praise this ride enough. I got a trimless 1st ride of the day once and it was easily the best I've seen it running. Every element was great, and the ending was even better than I remember! Every single element on this ride is so great and airtime filled. Make sure you leave the lap bar where the ride ops put it, or else the ride won't be as good as you want it to be! However, after a front row ride, I can easily say that back is FAR better than the front.

Airtimes First Drop Intensity

Steel Vengeance by far is my favorite ride at cedar point and the best roller coaster I’ve ever ridden. It has everything a coaster enthusiast could ask for. The best part is the airtime. I’ve never experienced longer airtime on any other coaster that I’ve ridden. The intensity is unbearable as well. This is the reason that they don’t allow you to bring on any extra items including phones onto this ride. Still, people go against this rule, and don’t realize the extreme intensity this coaster has. From my opinion, the drop is very steep and scary for a lot of people when they look at it. Also, this ride does not have any breaks halfway through, so don’t expect it to slow down any time sooner like Millennium Force. Steel vengeance barely has any cons besides it’s restraints. If you’re pretty tall, the leg restraints that hold your legs down because of inversions will hurt. So I suggest you sit in a comfortable position before the workers push the lap bar down for you because your not allowed to do it yourself.

Airtimes Fun Ejectors Discomfort

Air. That is what this ride is. Air, air, and air. From RMC, that is expected. This ride does have flaws though, it's pacing isn't the best, and the airtime can border on uncomfortable at times. The midcourse brake run sucks too. But other than that, it's a world class ride. It's inversions are so much fun, the intensity is surprisingly high for an RMC, and THE AIRTIME. The first drop especially is fantastic. While other rides like Iron Rattler and Twisted Colossus may be more fun, this is without a doubt better. It also destroys rides like El Toro (Which imo is a bit overrated). Overall, if you're a big fan of RMC, this will be your favorite coaster.

This is the best coaster I've ever ridden! It's just insane airtime from beginning to end with little to no break in pacing or intensity! It is so much fun and has a great location in the park. The airtime is very strong and in the first half it is very sustained as well. The inversions are all really fun and throw you around fast. I love everything about this ride!
