'''Steel First''' was a junior [steel roller coaster](/source/steel_roller_coaster) located at [Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom](/source/Dorney_Park_%26_Wildwater_Kingdom) in [Allentown, Pennsylvania](/source/Allentown%2C_Pennsylvania). Manufactured by the [Allan Herschell Company](/source/Allan_Herschell_Company), the ride opened to the public in 1985.

The coaster was originally located at [Santa's Village](/source/Santa's_Village_AZoosment_Park) in [East Dundee, Illinois](/source/East_Dundee%2C_Illinois), where it was known as '''Snowball Express'''.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Steel First - Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom (Allentown, Pennsylvania, United States) |url=https://rcdb.com/242.htm |access-date=2023-10-05 |website=rcdb.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Snowball Express - Santa's Village AZoosment Park (Dundee, Illinois, United States) |url=https://rcdb.com/2679.htm |access-date=2023-10-05 |website=rcdb.com}}</ref> It was removed in 1985 and placed in storage, until it was bought and moved to Dorney Park. Its maximum rider height was 54".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom - Steel First |url=https://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/p_126_3990_dorney_park__wildwater_kingdom_steel_first |access-date=2023-10-05 |website=www.themeparkreview.com}}</ref> 

It was originally named '''Colossus Junior & Little Laser''' after the defunct [Laser](/source/Teststrecke) coaster,<ref name=":0" /> but its name was changed to Steel First for the 2009 season, instead named for the [Steel Force](/source/Steel_Force) coaster.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Steel First at Dorney Park - CoasterBuzz |url=https://coasterbuzz.com/RollerCoasters/steel-first |access-date=2023-10-05 |website=coasterbuzz.com}}</ref> Steel First operated until the 2010 season, and has since been removed.
