Dorney Park announced Steel Force for its 1997 season as a great new Morgan-built addition for the Lehigh Valley park. The published press material described a two hundred-foot mega-coaster intended to carry passengers over more than a mile of steel track at seventy-five miles per hour. newsplusnotes.blogspot.com

When Steel Force opened on May 30, 1997, it gave Dorney Park a new high point in every sense. The park’s own history says the coaster rose two hundred feet and became the longest, tallest, and fastest coaster in the Northeast, altering the landscape of Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom. sixflags.com· coasterpedia.net

The official ride description still presents Steel Force as a D.H. Morgan Manufacturing coaster, introduced in 1997, with a two hundred and five-foot first drop, two tunnels, and speeds reaching seventy-five miles per hour. It also notes the ride as the first to break the two hundred-foot barrier on the East Coast. sixflags.com

In the years after opening, Steel Force remained one of Dorney’s principal steel attractions. Coasterpedia lists it as operating today, with three thirty-six-passenger trains and a rated capacity of 1,700 riders per hour, keeping the great Morgan road busy on summer afternoons. coasterpedia.net
