The Wild Storyline of Steel Vengeance EXPLAINED
I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with Cedar Points headline attraction Steel Vengeance. It took the industry by storm two years ago, I know it's already been two whole years! It's a fan favorite, many actually consider it their favorite, but not everyone knows the true STORY of Steel Vengeance. I can sit here and rant on and on about the perfection of this ride from its quality packed to the brim first half all the way to quantity even more packed second half, but most of you already know this ride inside and out. If I'm going to blow you away and tell you something you might not already know, we're gonna need to talk about its name. Steel Vengeance. We’ve grown used to it over the last two years, but it's a rather odd name, Vengeance? When it comes to SteVe a lot of people, and this includes me, say it's theming just isn't that good, but what people fail to see is the ridiculously extensive AWESOME storyline this ride is themed to. BUT WAIT, STICK WITH ME, ALLOW ME THE CHANCE TO BLOW YOUR MIND. Yes, today I'm going much deeper than the average enthusiast into Steel Vengeance, so I too can share this with you, because once you hear it, you might never hear the words, Steel Vengeance, the same way again. If you're new to the channel, click that subscribe button down below for more videos just like this. Before we begin I just want to say, this is a type of video I don't normally do. As much as I love the theming to rides it's not something I usually talk about on the channel, but if you enjoy this and want to see more I can do the same type of video on other rides like Time Traveler, Verbolten, Copperhead Strike, and more! So let me know what you think! Anyways, today we're gonna go far, far west to a place called Frontiertown, where we’ll uncover the truth of Cedar Point's wild west. All the info I'm going to be talking about today is all factual, pulled from queue signs, the announcement, commercials, posters, and more. And also keep the Frontier Town coasters in the back of your mind as I tell you the story. This is the hidden storyline of Steel Vengeance.

Man I wish Cedar Point had a couple of TVs in the queue playing this story. It is so interesting, and most guests don’t know about it. After watching this, I now know what the name “Steel Vengeance” means!
I never would’ve thought that one of the most badass roller coasters in the world would be nicknamed SteVe.
The part abt how carowinds and cp could be connected so good lol
Having been at cedar point the entire summer and riding steve multiple times, I’m glad I got to see the full story explained in one video and not in a bunch of signs. Props for this awesome vid
I love how kings island took this theory and even further expanded upon it. I think as far as backstories go, the new flight of fear theming just outside of the exit ties so much together it’s crazy. From what we know, half of kings island, copperhead strike, twisted Timbers, and frontier town at CP are all interconnected storyline and universe wise.
The fact that the backstory is not only engaging, but takes the rides and history of the Frontier Town area of the park and uses it amazingly and in a way that makes so much satisfying sense is beautiful. I love this!
I never would've thought there was this much of a "backstory" behind steel vengeance. It really makes me wonder about other cedar fair themes like Ghost rider or Leviathan

Late reply, but Silver Bullet at Knott’s has a backstory! (Calico/Ghost Town lore is actually weirdly extensive, but very few people talk about it.) Here’s a word-for-word transcript of the sign outside the ride: “There was once a time, not that long ago, that demons and evil spirits were known to stalk and terrorize the good settlers and natives of the west. As legend has it, the only way to silence these demons was with the powerful shot of a Silver Bullet. The only source of these supernatural bullets was the famous Silver Bullet Mine located in parts north of the quaint town of Calico. The mine was owned and operated by a recluse known only as ‘Just Jacob.’ The mine turned out miraculous bullets just as fast as its residents could use them up, but the demons grew wise to the source of their demise and descended upon the town in force to put an end to the production of these magical Silver Bullets. But Jacob was clever and devised a contraption to outsmart the demons. He created powerful ore cars that were suspended beneath a floating track. The ore could then be extracted and raced through tunnels and caverns as gunslingers sat perched on benches protecting the precious cargo. Their arsenal replenished, the citizens of Calico soon rid the town of the menacing demons. Today, Silver Bullet calls you to confront your own demons. Ready, aim, scream!”

Hey I know leviathan that’s my home park
Byer-gerd? How about Bo-ra-gard. The name comes from one of the trains on Maverick, which precedes this backstory. The question is what to make of the other 5 Maverick Trains ( Brett, Brent, Ben, Bart, and Sam). Perhaps aliases Maverick used in all his shady escapades on his way to Frontier Town???
I loved all the story elements in the queue for Steel vengeance. Experienced it for the first time yesterday. I’m a big western fan so I enjoyed everything about Frontiertown. The level of theming feels just about perfect. Love learning how the overall story involves ALL the rides past and present.
Well a lot there’s a lot more layers to Steel Vengeance than I originally expected. Awesome video!

The backstory is so cool and I’d definitely like to see more.
I got a theory here! There is a board in Orion’s queue that has hidden messages on it about The Beast, Banshee, and Mystic Timbers! I think there is a hidden story in Kings Island itself. It’s about a government facility that is called Area 72. They contain the mystical and paranormal events that happen in the surrounding area. According to the board, there are footprints where The Beast is that don’t match any living life form, ghosts and ghouls that haunt the abandoned church where Banshee is, and mystical monsters that lurk around the Miami River Lumber Company. Area 72 might be a facility that controls the meteorological events of Orion. But I think thats not their main focus. They are there to observe all the strange occurrences that happen in the area around the base. Orion’s meteorological events are a cover up for what’s really happening behind the scenes! The Bat and Adventure Express could also have something to do with this. But hey, that’s just a theory, a coaster theory!! And cut!

Make this game with completely different genre. So when people think the game lore based from random mythology, they will surprised it's just literally based from rollercoaster lore.
Great video!!! I'd love to see more of these, maybe about Copperhead Strike or Twisted Timbers, both if those have relatively confusing themes 😂
I feel like there was a moment where Cedar Point was afraid to "theme" anything, and their promotional stuff was always geared towards thrill seeking. Personally, I would love for them to dive even deeper into theming at CP. Their Frontier area is already fantastic, and it feels like they're leaning back into theming the front of the park medieval again (also there is something going on there with rides named after birds lol) There are new plans at this point for them to retheme the coast (ex-wicked twister area) back into the boardwalk which I'm also very excited for. I was a really big Disney Parks fan but lately they have really gone downhill. At this point I'm ready to invest all my love back into my home park!
I love hearing the backstory on rides!!! Thanks for the research... and definitely a great video!
Great Vid! Verbolten and Time Traveler would be very cool to see!
If I had a dollar for every time Zach uploaded..... I would not be able to afford his merch 👏👏😂
Yes. This was great. More ride stories, please.
Great content. Please continue making videos like this. Cedar Fair is doing such a great job with storytelling elements lately. Love this.
I remember the teasers for this ride around the park were incredible! They had long stories hidden along walls in frontier land and character summaries years before steel vengeance's opening. Cedar point always finds a way to tease frequent guests
Yeah, that was a cool story. Would love to see you do more like it. Keep up the good work dude!
Holy crap, how did you learn all of this? And yeah now the name Steel Vengeance actually makes sense! Awesome video dude! I'd love to see one of these for Copperhead Strike or any other coaster

I knew a decent amount of this from the videos and stories came out at announcement time, but when I went last year lines were only 30 minutes for this ride so I never saw any of the back stories in the switchbacks. Pretty impressive. Very different than usual, but awesome video.
love this sort of video mate, all your videos are amazing
This was great! I enjoyed Cedar Point's frontier town, but now it even that much cooler to me. I love how the rides tell a story. Mind blown! I will never see it the same again. Thank you for sharing from one coaster junkie to another. And I would enjoy more videos like this. :D
I really just thought the story of steel Vengeance was that the ride is trying to beat maverick for the best coaster in frontier town..
I miss this ride so much!!! 😭 I love your channel tho!
Steele Vengeance has been my favorite ever since I rode it. That drop is wonderful
I think it would be AWESOME if you looked into the area 72 at kings Island. With the addition of it's new ride, Orion, it is bound to be a storm of a talk here. Not to mention the mysterious gems like the bat or the beast(another Amazingly, mysterious ride). I'd enjoy to see that! Also, amazing video! I'm new here and I enjoyed it!
I would love a verbolten video like this one
This is one of the more interesting theories out there! I can’t wait to see if CP will expand on this storyline
Ah, yes. Roller coaster lore. More, please.
I love that cedar point put a lot in the back story of frounter town and the coasters in that land
Yay you're back!!
I think the name is awesome on its own. I never understood why people didn’t like it. It reminds me of an out of control steel locomotive thrashing through the desert land. I think it’s cool. 🤷🏻♀️
You should continue with these videos I really enjoyed it
This video is incredible. If this series continues on (and it should because it is amazing) could you investigate the hidden theme of a British coaster
I like this alot i cant wait to go on steel vengance and copper head strike they both look amazing great job
Wow! I didn't even know that Mean Streak played a role in this!
Need more like this love the back story on coaster
Please do more theming of ride videos like this one. It was great. I read some of the sings while I was there to get the story, because I came from out West to visit.
Now please can Gemini have this much themeing! EVERY CEADER POINT NEEDS THIS STORYLINE

the carowinds connection is kind of weird bc the time period of copperhead strike's theme is wildly removed from steel vengeance's. steel vengeance takes place in the era of steam powered machinery whilst copperhead strike's trains being late 30s/40s era pickup trucks implies a considerable time gap, likely around 40-60 years difference. still, the lore of steel vengeance is more detailed than i thought itd be. i'd like to hear ur take on cannibal's theme at lagoon. theres nothing official but a discussion about it would be interesting, as the theming elements below the main ride structure are actually fairly detailed and well-made but what the story of the ride actually is is kind of up in the air

8:50 I honestly think if that rumored gerstlauer coaster gets built and it goes where the antique cars are, the theme will likely be expanded on the Steel Vengeance storyline
Amazing Storyline and storytelling
I got an idea for a Power Rangers series based off Emotional Roller Coasters and the story is very different. Maverick, born Beauregard, was the first born and first son of 4 (the others being Jackson "Blackjack", Helena [Hypersonic XLC], and Laurel [Skyrider]). He was popular, but was caught up in dreams of treasure and gold (notably of King Cobra). On one such adventure, they adopted an Orphan named Chess Watkins. Jackson and Chess fell in love and couldn't stand his brother's daydreams anymore. Helena and Laurel were sent after them, but were killed in White Water Canyon. Beauregard grew heartless and corrupt, running away from all he knew. He accidentally came across Iron near a quaint village called Frontier Town under the new name of Vikrum, but most called him Maverick. The sheriff, "Mean Streak" (never gave him a real name) and his deputy Kate "Wildcat". Due to his success and news of gold in the Yukon, provided by Ezra "Mighty Canadian Minebuster". The duo went after the gold that was guarded by Ziz [Yukon Striker]. Maverick took the gold, despite Ezra's warning, causing a string of bad luck (Ezra was reassigned Yukon Striker, WildCat and Mean Streak were decommissioned, with Wildcat stealing his parts to become one of the rangers during the show).

During that time, Chess and Blackjack had made a name for themselves in Mexico and met a tinker named Wyatt. They would cross the border into Battle Mountain, CA where they created a Megazord. However, his work caused a disturbance, awakening these ancient monsters called Boma that had been sealed by Indian Braves thousands of years earlier. He cut off his hand in hopes it would deter them. Instead, it created a demon named Bellatrix, the reincarnation of Son of Beast (the actually Son of Beast Android ended up being used for Valravn). They attacked Frontier Town, killing Mean Streak. However, Wildcat had disappeared some time before and was replaced by Micheaux Goubuster as Mean Streak's new deputy. Micheaux is promoted to Sheriff, with Maverick having to up to the plate as well. Along with Diamondback, Blue Streak, and Ghost Rider, they band together to protect Frontier Town from the Vengeance Trio and Boma Monsters.
that's a pretty convoluted story. they could have gone with Mean Streak ruled Frontier Town until 2007 when Maverick took over. After 9 years, Mean Streak was sick of playing second fiddle so he started eating right, hit the gym and 2 years later, came back with a vengeance.

I had to use ADA so I never got in the line I didn't know Cedar Point could tell stories like this They should make it an animation and sell it to the company that **isn't** working with six flags Six Flags uses movie and show content for their rides Cedar Fair uses their rides for movies shows and content.
