Steinrachephobia, [from German: "stein" (stone) and "rache" (vengeance)], also known as Steelvengeancephobia, Stahlrachephobia [from German "stahl" (steel), and "rache" (vengeance)], or Steelvengeanceophobia, or SteVeophobia, is the irrational fear of the hybrid roller coaster Steel Vengeance, located at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio.

Steel Vengeance is a hybrid roller coaster located at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio. The ride replaced the former Mean Streak wooden roller coaster and was built using its frame. The ride is 205 feet tall (62,4 metres), achieves a top speed of 74 miles an hour (119 kilometers an hour), a maximum track length of 5740 feet (1749 metres), and features 4 inversions. The park claims it has 30 seconds of total airtime.

The fear can originate from its height (acrophobia), the fact it is a roller coaster (veloxrotaphobia, of which it is a sub-category of), or even the fear of confined spaces (claustrophobia), considering its restraint system and the amount of times it weaves in and out of its own support structure.
