Updated, I rewrote this review on 11-18-06
Judging from the other reviews I guess I hit it on a bad day. I got to Dorney and hit all the other coasters first besides Hydra. I made my way from Laz(s?)er over to Steel Force, I hadnt ridden many Morgan Hypers and to the untrained eye might think it was an Arrow Hyper. We got in a short line as they were running two trains. I believe it was the Red and Black trains.
We were next in a gate and I was looking up the lift as the Black train disappeared over the top, and the red was flying past the station and over the Double up.
We got in and down I dont remember exactly where I sat, but it was towards the back. I yanked out the seatbelt and pulled down this skinny little metal bar,which didnt seam like it would hold its self in the train never mind me. The Ops checked us all out and a "dispatch" came over the speakers and we started to roll. There was a small left turn and we were on the lift. A slow decent, but no where as slow as Phantoms Revenge which I rode the day before. About 5/6 of the way up the trains bucked to a stop and rolled back just a little bit and ever started screaming. There was a mother and her little son in front of me, I talked to them and made them feel better.
I looked back and noticed the Black Train was on the break run before the station. A few minutes later one of the Ops came up the stairs and told us it was a problem with the station brakes, this only made everyone yell more.
Finally we started up again and began our plunge down the hill. Into a tunnel, then up a huge "air time hill" which had no air time" then down into a helix, which was enjoyable. Then up a short hill to the break run. This slowed us down a little, but not too bad. Down that hill the next were 3 bunny hops, which I remember being very very disappointed with, then a double up that ripped my head off and was the only airtime I remembered, which worse then the double down on Phantoms Revenge.
Phantoms Revenge is the only Morgan Hyper I have to compare this too and neither was good. I am not a Morgan fan at all, their coasters are rough, boring and ugly.
