Steel Venom

The view of Steel Venom launching right at you when your coming to ride it can be a bit intimidating and a great picture perfect area as well. The actual ride is a lot like V2, unless your sitting near the front your really not going to twist much at all. The 'strike' that is advertised so much for this is my favorite part that I wasn't expecting. I have ridden both V2 at SFGA and Wicked Twister at Cedar Point but this coaster has something niether has, a holding brake from Hell. You think this will be just another normal rollercoaster, a bit intense but after that first launch you probably won't be surprised again. Well your wrong, that holding brake is a lot different then the other versions, when it happens the whole coaster shakes and this sound somewhat like a car trying to start up except about 1000 times louder hits your ears. It's almost like the coaster malfunctioned, in the 2nd seat it almost feels like your getting shot because your whole body is just shaking madly back in fourth. Then as quickly as it happened it's over. I must tell you, as in V2 and definitely Wicked Twister I laughed the whole ride through, but in Steel Venom I was laughing so hard no sound came out. This coaster might be enough to even beat out Wild Thing for its intense fun. The brake is the best thing ever to happen to a coaster, and I hope they NEVER change it, ever.
