}}Steel Force is a steel roller coaster located at Dorney Park in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Built by D. H. Morgan Manufacturing and designed by Steve Okamoto, the roller coaster opened to the public on May 30, 1997. Even though the coaster never broke any real records, it was titled as “the tallest and longest roller coaster on the east coast.”",[1] featuring a {{convert|205|ft|adj=on}} drop, {{convert|5600|ft}} of track, and a maximum speed of {{convert|75|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.[2] Despite losing those titles over the years, Steel Force remains ranked as the eighth-longest steel coaster in the world tying it with Mamba at Worlds of Fun.[3]

History

Steel Force has been ranked among the top 10 steel coasters in the world.[4] Its logo was originally intended for the stand-up coaster Mantis, which opened at Cedar Point a year earlier. Mantis was originally going to be named “Banshee,” but the name and logo were changed prior to its debut.[5] Dorney Park adopted it for its Steel Force coaster a year later.[6]
