Steel Eel is a custom mega coaster (coaster with no loops only drops and hills) It has a height of 150 ft and it was built by Chance Morgan Inc. It's the second coaster built by SeaWorld San Antonio. It had to be custom built to fit the slim area along the lake bed and, uses a simple lap bar and seat belt. Elements of this coaster include a triple humpback and dogleg turn.
