Danhockey04, according to the press release that Mike Parker posted, it does say this about where the ride will be located.
One of the largest ride investments in Indiana Beach’s history, Steel Hawg will be located on the north side of the park near the popular Hoosier Hurricane and Rocky’s Rapids Log Flume rides. Steel Hawg is scheduled to deliver its unique coaster experience in mid-May.
As Galvan can verify, i've been following the "mystery" of their new coaster for a while and making my own guesses, but this announcement was not what i expected. I'm REALLY excited to ride it and plan on being there opening day, but there are a few questions i have with it. The first being that they claim that next year's addition is going where Chaos was, does anyone else think they might fit the ride layout to cross over there or is there a chance of another ride? And also, that comment about it being painful...it's worrying me cause it looks like it could be....
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter
It's going to be in the parking lot near Hoosier Hurricane's station and Rocky Rapids Log Flume. Chaos's spot will be used as a smoking area. The ride will fit in good.

yea that outside turn REALLY worrys me. And that very steep drop I hope they have comfy straps
I can imagine they'd be like the Screamin Squirrel restraints.
...but I don't think most people here have ridden it.
I'd actually hope they can use something better than the SS ones. They're on Manhattan Express now and I've been hearing really bad reports about them. Maybe they could just use their lap bars?
3 inversions I believe the press release said but may be wrong on that, the art (admittedly crappy) shows only lapbars, and it will open 2 weeks after the park opens says the park, so I wouldn't show up on opening day expecting it to be open.
