Now I can say I went on the original Steeplechase back in the early 60's. I'm glad they kept the memory by bringing the name back even though it wasn't the same ride.
Fun ride for sure it’s just that it doesn’t go as fast as other rides. Storm runner at hersheypark goes a lot faster and kingda ka at Six Flags goes even faster. Even cyclone at this same park goes faster I believe.
Nice video. But please don't give people the idea that this is the "classic Steeplechase ride". That is long gone. On the original, you sat on a life-size horse statue that had wheels where the hooves should be. You sat up on the horse, one hand on the pommel, one on the reins, and your feet went in stirrups(like a carousel horse). A ride went twice around the Steeplechase building which was like going around a city block twice. No loops or twists: you'd fall off! But very exciting and lots of fun.
I rode these horses in the mid-50's. As scary 😨 as this video is, back then it was.worse…The horses were individual, so when the ride started, it looked like an actual horse race. And you were on your own Besides the speed, the neck & head reared back & I really got the feeling I was going to fall off. Wow, all these later – made quite an impression.

Even tho I’ve been on kingda ka and top thrill dragster, this launch actually kinda scared me lmao
I went on this ride before and it’s mad fast and my sister was the only one who was screaming 🤣

I felt like the coaster was slower than it looks… but that’s just me, so…

Ugh!! It’s Rob Alvey!! 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮💩💩💩💩💩!! Enough of the “wheeeeee!!” Ugh!! Grow up, man child!!
This is nothing like the original Steeplechase.
this was closed when i went last summer 🙁 I guess I'll have to go back but I wanna go back to reride cyclone anyway
I've been to convey island a few times and don't remember seeing this one! What a shame 🙁
THATS IT?? I know the ride is EXTREMELY expensive too!! It only goes around once???
The first two second are the most terrifying, especially if you sit up front. I still have flashbacks… it’s a horror. The rest of the ride is fine.
If you have breast it’s gonna hurt
I went on that ride it look easy but it is quite intense
I think that as time passes it becomes more of a classic, not less…. 😂✌
I went to that ride I am telling you when you go up is super fast
i love that ride but it is way faster irl then in the vid
The factor that made it so scary was actually the uncomfortable seats😂 but you get used to it after a minute
This was super fun , the launch is actually faster then shown on camera my grandma wig feel off on this ride #goodmemeories

I went to kony island and I wanted to go but I didn’t wanna go myself and my dad couldn’t go so yeah. But this looks so fun!

Is it still operating?
Unsubbed due to annoying white guys with their cringey voice
I rode the original Steeple Chase horses before they closed it down. LOL, this is just a glorified roller coaster!
Steeplechase at blackpool or this steeplechase?

Went on this with my cousin the other day and after the ride finished it broke down and we were stuck for about 15 minutes

Coney Island is a crappy amusement park!
