Location: Americana
Ride Duration: 3 minutes
Height Requirement: 52 inches
Manufacturer: Mondial
- Get ready to take flight as SteelHawks soars 301ft in the air
- 100ft taller than Mamba, RipCord, and Detonator
- Riders will experience the feeling of free flight as SteelHawk spreads its steel wings at a 45-degree angle at speeds of 8 rotations per minute
- SteelHawk has a unique LED package that makes it an outstanding nighttime ride
This video was taken Opening Day 2015 at Worlds of Fun, and it was my first time ever riding it. I heard this ride had various problems in California (known as WindSeeker at Knott's Berry Farm), and my wait to get on it was no exception. Of the few times I went to the park in 2014, it was closed each time. Then, right before I was able to finally ride it, there was a maintenance issue. Add to that the calibration that needs to happen each time it takes flight, and it becomes a lengthy wait. There were probably 3 sessions before us, but we waited in line between an hour and an hour and half before finally being able to ride it -- pretty awesome view and experience, though. I do recommend it.

so much fun! if you go on it when it's dark you can see the glow of the cities and dark of unpopulated areas. if you close your eyes, you can't even tell that your hundreds of feet in the air

I remember back here in California when Knotts Berry Farm had this ride but it was called the Windseeker. Enjoy the donation we gave you of a ride that broke down for 4 hours at our park

Good move man way to hide the camera I'm not a huge fan of this ride but it's still pretty cool but sadly I only visit worlds of fun for the roller coasters and more thrilling rides.

@peppylafew116 8 жыл бұрын

Had you gone on this? It doesn't look like much but it's pretty thrilling considering your barely strapped in. Only by the waist. The height just gets to me.

Joshua Andersen I've been on it ride patriot, mamba, timber wolf, boomerang, and prowler then you'll know what thrilling is after you ride these five coasters

@peppylafew116 8 жыл бұрын

+dominic arnone I've been on every coaster there. I was just stating the height and the fact that the safety harness is a bar that goes over your lap, it makes one a bit uneasy. Worlds of fun is pretty average when it comes to roller coasters btw. Timber wolf needs to be taken down, not even fun anymore. Every park has a version of the patriot. The prowler is my favorite wooden coaster but it's still average. The mamba is honestly the only roller coaster at worlds of fun worth mentioning.

@peppylafew116 8 жыл бұрын

+dominic arnone wrong 15 years from now prowler will be the same. That's what wooden coasters do. You can't argue that timber wolf, which is closed every other day, is worth the space it takes up. Yeah it's a classic ride but so was the oriental express. Sometimes things just gotta change.

You shouldn't be recording on these rides. A ride like this that goes high up, anything that comes loose that falls several feet down will use enough force that if someone gets hit by it, it could be lethal. There was a video that went viral where a woman and her boyfriend were capturing their on-ride experience on a similar ride called the Orlando StarFlyer, only to lose grip of her phone to where it fell several feet down, but thankfully didn't hit anyone - which pressured the amusement park and that ride to strengthen rules about loose items, including cameras and phones.
