Steel Venom is a shuttle-type impulse coaster which reaches a maximum height of 185 feet (56 m) and a top speed of 68 mph (109 km/h). It is similar to the Wicked Twister roller coaster at Cedar Point, but has only one vertical spiral, as opposed to Wicked Twister with two vertical spirals, but it is identical to Possessed at Dorney Park and V2: Vertical Velocity at Six Flags parks. The opposite end is straight with a holding brake at the top. Riders are launched forward three times and back twice. On the second launch backwards, riders are briefly suspended in their harnesses by the LIM brakes, in which the vibration from the coaster shakes you in the seat. Steel Venom is the first launched coaster to be placed at Valleyfair.
