Steel First was a junior steel roller coaster located at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Manufactured by the Allan Herschell Company, the ride opened to the public in 1985.
The coaster was originally located at Santa's Village in East Dundee, Illinois, where it was known as Snowball Express.[1] [2] It was removed in 1985 and placed in storage, until it was bought and moved to Dorney Park. Its maximum rider height was 54".[3]
It was originally named Colossus Junior & Little Laser after the defunct Laser coaster, but its name was changed to Steel First for the 2009 season, instead named for the Steel Force coaster.[4] Steel First operated until the 2010 season, and has since been removed.
