Steel Venom is a shuttle-type impulse coaster which reaches a maximum height of 185 feet (56 m) and a top speed of 64 mph (102 km/h). It is Similar to the Wicked Twister but has only one helix end to it. The opposite end is straight with a brake section at the top. Riders are launched forward three times and back twice. On the second launch backwards, riders are breifly suspended in their harnesses by the brakes. Wicked Twister, at Valleyfair!'s sister park of Cedar Point, is equipped with two helixes, is taller and does not have any brake sections. Steel Venom is the first LIM coaster to be placed at Vallefair!.
