blakelemay23 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Fun new game: Everytime someone mentions Mean Streak quote it with a picture of Skyride. No. Just, no. I keed, I keed. Seriously though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABW Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 No. Just, no. I presume coasterbill is on his way to silence you at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 No. Just, no. I presume coasterbill is on his way to silence you at once. Oh please! Coasterbill loves me! He'll agree with me on this one. . . He doesn't want to see the Skyride in any way affiliated with New (or old) Mean Streak! He says, "Skyride is better than that, and deserves all its own glory!"

njcoasterguy34 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Unfortunately, the Skyride was down when I visited the park back in May. In fact, I experienced my first hailstorm while at the park. Gemini, Maverick, and Mean Streak were also down the day I visited back in May.

coasterbill Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I leave this thread for less than 24 hours and come back to see this spectacular-ness complete with a cameo from Rob Von Roll himself Great job finally getting this thread on the right track guys, you're the real heroes. Oh please! Coasterbill loves me! He'll agree with me on this one. . . He doesn't want to see the Skyride in any way affiliated with New (or old) Mean Streak! He says, "Skyride is better than that, and deserves all its own glory!" While this is true it is worth pointing out that Mean Streak was still awesome and you're all a bunch of haters.

coasterbill Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 That thing was awesome, we did it last year. I'm pretty sure that was it's 100th anniversary season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakelemay23 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Sorry to interrupt the magic, but here are two videos i found that i think are worth the watch: RWC Update Drone Footage of Cedar Point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakelemay23 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Interesting videos, blakelemay23. Gosh you seem so familiar. Do I know you from somewhere? Hmmm. I think you look familiar, i believe i may have seen you at that green ride. What is it called again? The Raven? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastermaniac Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 That's the Voltron. I usually worked at the Magnum Force but I also worked at the Velociraptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakelemay23 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 That's the Voltron. I usually worked at the Magnum Force but I also worked at the Velociraptor. I also heard you worked the Manbis? maybe that Twisted Sister ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastermaniac Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I also heard you worked the Manbis? maybe that Twisted Sister ride? Yes, it was the genetic clone of the sky wheel that went over the main midway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was the genetic clone of the sky wheel that went over the main midway. Oh yes, the sky wheel. Almost as good as WildDog or Disaster Transformer.

coastermaniac Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Oh yes, the sky wheel. Almost as good as WildDog or Disaster Transformer. Disaster Transformer was a classic. Almost as much of a classic as the Paddlewheel Excavations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT325 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Bring back Disaster Disco! I kinda liked that ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricUncleSam Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 That's the Voltron. I usually worked at the Magnum Force but I also worked at the Velociraptor. I completely got thrown off the joke. Mainly because there really is (err... was) a coaster called Magnum Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterDirected Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hey we all know Mean Streak is really being torn down so that RMC can remake Disaster Transport with Intamin making the boats and B&M remaking the Hulk launch tunnel. It had to be taken apart because it wasn't safe anymore because people got too tall to ride over time and they were hitting their feet on the supports.... Geez Schwarzkopf, can't make a reliable coaster for the life of you? So much for the bobsled coaster with the most inversion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripleybl Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Can someone please explain to me the inside/ongoing joke of "Nina Kleppe likes this?" Who is she?!?! Now back on topic, does anyone think the RMC Mean Streak will add length or decrease length on the ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now back on topic, does anyone think the RMC Mean Streak will add length or decrease length on the ride? most definitely shorter ride time just because no trims and faster, but dunno about anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now back on topic, does anyone think the RMC Mean Streak will add length or decrease length on the ride? She likes a lot of things. I think the track length is likely to be close to the same, but RMCs tend to have a much higher average speed than most coasters (Outlaw Run averages almost 30mph!). Expect a much quicker, much more awesome ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
