The path through the woods and structure of Thunderhawk leads you
to the top dog, big cheese and head honcho of Dorney Park's coaster world
and that is Steel Force.
Steel Force was a monumental addition to Dorney Park when it opened in 1997.
Back then Steel Force was the longest, tallest and fastest coaster on the
East Coast.
While there are faster and taller coasters in the region that have surpassed
Steel Force it is still the longest at over a mile in length.
Steel Force starts it all out with a two hundred foot tall lift hill with
a two hundred and five foot drop that takes you to seventy-five miles an
hour.
