 The 20 m (65 ft) train, propelled by linear induction motors (LIMs,) is accelerated in less than four seconds to toward the forward tower before dropping back down through the station house and up the rearward tower.A holding brake is incorporated on the rear straight tower and is able to suspend the train momentarily (usually on the final ascent during each ride) before dropping it back down to the station house.As of 2019, Steel Venom is the only Intamin Impulse roller coaster that still has a functional holding brake.
