The coaster was originally located in East Dundee, IL at Santa's Village, 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. Maximum rider height was 54".[3] It was originally named the Colossus Junior & Little Laser,[1] but its name was changed to Steel First for the 2009 season[4] after the removal of another roller coaster at the park known as Laser. Steel First operated until the 2010 season and has since been removed.
