Like most Cedar Fair parks Valleyfair has a S&S launch/drop tower.  Unfortunately they have theirs set so forceless that it hardly feels like you're going up or down instead are just there suspended in space that we chose to pass on it.



Hey we're at Cedar Point the Coaster Capital of the World!



Steel Venom is an Intamin impulse coaster that anchors the Challenge Park section of Valleyfair.



If you're not sure what an impulse coaster it is don't worry as I'm about to explain it to you.  Basically it is an inverted coaster built by Intamin that launches you out of the station and up a spike of track before letting gravity send you back to the launch track that this time launches you backwards through the station to another spike where the process is repeated again.
