Steel Hawg is a steel roller coaster located at Indiana Beach in Monticello, Indiana, USA. The ride, which was built by S&S Worldwide, was the steepest roller coaster in the world from its opening on July 5, 2008 until the opening of Mumbo Jumbo at Flamingo Land the following year. It remained the steepest roller coaster in the United States until Cannibal at Lagoon opened in 2015.[1]
Design
Steel Hawg is the first El Loco to be produced.
Alongside the steep chain lift hill and the "beyond-vertical" drop, the ride also features an outward-banked turn, a dive loop taken slowly enough that riders experience "hang-time", and a downward heartline roll.
Trains
