Steel Eel is one of those roller coasters I was so excited to ride, that feel so short. Everyone said it was an airtime machine, and maybe it’s because my home hyper coaster is Mamba… but I only felt the airtime on the landing 😅 Still a really unique ride and super pretty, but I was kind of sad about it 😂 #seaworld #steeleel #seaworldsanantonio #rollercoaster #coastercuzzies

Great coaster! This might be the best roller coaster in Texas for floater airtime. Throughout the whole layout you will glide on nice smooth track as you navigate a long series of camelbacks. The floater airtime on all these hills are excellent. The airtime is enhanced by the very freeing restraints that will sit a few inches away from you lap. Although the airtime is great, the landings after those moments can be brutal. You get aggressively slammed back down into your seat. For me, I find it hilarious, so I still really love this ride even though it can hurt a little. This coaster didn't have any wait for it when I visited, so you shouldn't have to worry about long lines. This is a must ride at Seaworld San Antonio!

This is one heck of a fun ride to SeaWorld San Antonio. It may not be a true hyper coaster but it has nearly full looking fuel a hyper coaster. I know some people give Morgan coasters gruff since they aren't B&M's but with this guy makes up for and not having as big of a drop it has the spades for the number of airtime hills on this ride. Definitely a ride you have to check out if you're at SeaWorld San Antonio.

This ride is so painful! It’s a one and done for me. Two stars because it does have great air time but Jesus it hurts when you get slammed back down. I knew this from coaster studios review before riding so I used my legs to stay in a squatting position before it could slam me down but the first couple of drops I had to figure it out. My poor eight year old daughter couldn’t do this and she’s tiny so yeah it hurt. My thighs ended up bruising but it was that or my tailbone getting bruised. Coasters are supposed to be fun not painful so I won’t ever get back on this thing again! When a coaster has a seat Walt and lap bar that should be a red flag that you are going to get thrown around pretty good but this one...
