Steel Venom, Steel roller coaster at Valleyfair, Shakopee, Minnesota, United States
The Steel Venom roller coaster accelerates riders to 68 mph through linear induction motors before sending them up two vertical spikes at 185 feet.
Intamin manufactured this $8.5 million steel roller coaster, which opened at Valleyfair amusement park on May 17, 2003 after a week-long delay.
This inverted launch coaster introduced Minnesota residents to their first acceleration-based thrill ride, marking a new era in regional entertainment.
The seven-car train accommodates 28 passengers in two rows, with height requirements and safety instructions provided at the entrance station.
The Steel Venom maintains the only functioning holding brake system among all Intamin Impulse Coasters, creating suspense at the rear spike peak.
