Nice coaster for the park, but did it say where it will be installed?
Universal Orlando Mechanical Engineer
Marathon down, Goofy to go.
So this is the first El Loco model to be built correct?
Those wall turns look nuts. This looks likes something I made when I bored in No Limits haha.
That looks VERY painful.
Cross-posted from TPR.
Looks pretty different...
Cool how do you pronounce the name though?
Steel Hog Steel Hawk with a G instead of a K Where do they come up with these names? Great Find FParker
Too bad Holiday World can't get a large steel coaster like Indiana Beach. Anyway, I know where i'm going this summer!
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. --Brian
This ride looks similar, not totally but on par with Zforce.
And I thought Maverick had a steep drop!!!
Does that drop technically qualify as an inversion?
And can someone email rcdb and tell them this
Great image! 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.
awesome! Thanks for the info

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?
^That would scare the crap out of me to ride a ride like that with only a lap bar....

It looks like it has a lot of inversions...
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.

^^Thanks for that article, it was very well written!

If that actualy has lapbars I will be holding on for my life.
Me too, and well.... SCREAM LIKE A LITTLE GIRL!!!!! Similar to.. well.. nevermind.
Top 3 Steel Coasters: 1. The Incredible Hulk 2. Maverick 3. Dragon Challenge (Fireball)
Top 3 Wood Coasters: 1. The Beast 2. American Eagle (Red) 3. Hades
How did I miss this?
Ah, I will have to be there the weekend it opens. Although just a lapbar sounds a bit scary.
