Steel Eel front seat on-ride 4K POV SeaWorld San Antonio

[@a-bird-lover]

[@xehntanyI]

I live in San Antonio, but Six Flags Fiesta Texas is the only park I religiously buy season passes to. Sea World's prices have just gotten outrageously expensive.

Coaster design has really come a long way.

[@alexferguson1139]

I mean, it had already come a long way once this was built - it's not that old. By 1999 there were already some incredible coasters out there, this was just built in a traditional hyper-coaster style.

I rode this coaster before, and it is a rough ride but scary too. I don't know if it was the humps that made it scary, the lap bar didn't seem like it was tight enough, or the fact that it feels the whole ride is going to run off the tracks. I was so terrified...lol.

[@haqqrasheed3115]

your right. it just seems scary because the coaster train itself is slightly wider than the track so loose your sense of attachment to the track. the vortex (arrow coaster) at kings island is like this except that the vortex has inversions and it has a steeper first drop.

Took advice of commenters on here and rode in the back yesterday after trying the front. I have NEVER gotten so much air time on any coaster like I did on this one! There are so many dips that you are out of your seat constantly--it's awesome!!

man i remember this, i went there last year, i remember being clueless, i was like, naww this isnt too bad, i got on with my dad and brother, my dad being next to me and my brother behind us, then we were moving and i was sooo exited(this is my first roller coaster) we got to the top i was like wow, this view is amazing! then i looked down and was like.. oh shit..., i held onto that dam thing like it was my life, we went racing down and i was screaming my heart out, i was closing my eyes most of the ride because i was terrified, this ride does not last but a few seconds, but that dam thing felt like an eternity, like this comment if you were afraid of roller coasters as well...

[@crystalsugar4136]

SpitThatMilkyMilkOnMyThighs Kinda the same story for me and my dad a few years ago.I really wanted to go beverages as you know there is barely any rides at the park compared to six flags. We gotten to the top I looked around saying “this isn’t so bad-“ that was the last few words i said that whole day I screamed the whole damn ride and there was 5 years old in front of me saying it was good and I was 10 Traumatize if anyone mentions the park or the ride

[@natalieosuna2017]

Same kind but I was like 5 or 6 when I went on the tower of terror bc my dad convinced me that it was a little elevator ride and that I was like those busses that go up and down. I was traumatized and haven’t gone on since

i have no idea what you just said-

[@ronwealsey9733]

Arnold Gotch the anti-rollback system is the sound you hear when going up the lift hill. It is there so if a train stops on the lift hill it doesn’t rollback down the hill. Hope this helps.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Yeah Mamba, Steel Force, Steel Dragon 2000, and Superman: El Ultimo Escape are considered to be a lot better than this one

Steel Eel is rough in the backrow because the airtime is really strong. On the way down you just fall back to your seat like you´re falling on concrete. xD

Its not rough at all if you don't ride in the back, its actually a really awesome ride
