Steel Force dominates the skyline at Dorney. Thunderhawk is just dwarfed by the 200 foot steel monster. A visual testament to how far coasters have come. I stepped aboard the uninteresting Morgan trains and enjoyed the nice long ride up the peak. The first drop wasnt as steep as I thought it would be and the tunnel was just so-so. The highlight for me was the helix at the turnaround. The speed, gs, and the view of the lake or pond is really cool. The trip back to the station is pretty pedestrian. I didnt get much if any airtime on those bunny hills. For me, Steel Force was a bit of a let down. I didnt expect it to unseat my favorite hypers. Not only did it not do that, it didnt even come close. When visiting Dorney, its definitely a must ride and its by no means a bad ride. Its long, has a big drop, a fun helix, two tunnels and its not rough. Steel Force is still a good example of a traditional hypercoaster. Its good, just not quite great. Final Rating - 7.5 (Good-Approaching Great)
