gerstlaueringvar Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Actually I really liked Mean Streak this summer and rode it five times(Three of them were in the wheel seat of the last car) and I had no problem at all. Probably because I rode Hades360 two days before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Zo Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Actually I really liked Mean Streak this summer and rode it five times(Three of them were in the wheel seat of the last car) and I had no problem at all. Probably because I rode Hades360 two days before... ...and this proves that two people can have different experiences in the same seat on the same ride -- because you and I shared that last wheel seat and I thought it was pretty awful! My two rides in the front the night before were much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWolfman Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 It sucks that after being so massive and beautiful, Mean Streak fails to deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 It sucks that after being so massive and beautiful, Mean Streak fails to deliver. Sums it up. I really like the structure, setting and layout. So far it's been a once per trip ride for me, and I don't "like" it, but I'm not vitriolic in my disdain. It's never been painful for me, just slow and meandering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomman295 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I don't know. Sometimes I love the feeling of off-roading at 60+ mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traincrossin Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Time for a bit of a construction update! Breakers is all covered up for refurbishment and it looks like work is being done on Pipe Scream's footers. Where'd the Breakers go???

coasterbill Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I really can't wait to see this expansion. It's going to breathe a lot of life into that area of the park. Right now it's stuck in the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simaticable Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 ^If only! That would be amazing, I doubt we'll see it for awhile though. Who knows what Cedar Fair has in store for the parks? Maybe once a few more years have gone by and the I-Box coasters have had a few seasons to age, maybe Cedar Fair will invest in some RMC into some of their parks.

djboss302 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Mean Streak is definitely a beautiful structure, but it's pretty painful ride. Perhaps they can tear it down and put in either a new themed section or a couple of coasters in it's old spot. Maybe even a brand spanking new RMC woodie.

The next big addition should be back there, if for no other reason than to get rid of Mean Streak... and also disperse the crowd away from Maverick a little bit.

DanTheBooker Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) I had a dream a few weeks back. They tore down Mean Streak and replaced it with a record breaking GCI. It was the tallest, longest wooden roller coaster in the world. It was an out and back that went basically started near the current MS station, and wrapped around to the go-kart track the turn around was a 180° overbank. Thought it was pretty neat.

Well, I thought that the construction of Eden Musee (which cut the queue capacity to a fraction of what it used to be) was a sign that it would not be renovated, but I still hope for RMC. Mean Streak is not that huge that you can fit a new coaster in its infield. Maybe they could build Space Spiral II there when they retire Eden Musee's building. Of course, MS is kinda unpopular, so I see it as one of the next coasters on CP's chopping block - either a complete renovation or a new coaster. I imagine a newwoodie will go up soon after that, as the RMC treatment or demolition of MS would reduce CP's woodie count to a puny 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossed Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Whoops, I didn't realize he said without touching it. I'd rather burn that ride to the ground and redo the entire area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Mean Streak >>>>>> Hades 360 I know everyone wants Mean Streak to go bye bye but I can think of many other things I wish CP build first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I would be very very happy if CP had RMC do a renovation of MS with I-Box, because the layout could make for the best RMC coversion to date. Then, a couple of seasons later add a record breaking GCI. I think many others would like that as well lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmullin Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 There's a ton of junk inside of the Mean Streak structure, they could probably fit some decent sized rides in there without doing anything to Mean Streak, leaving RMC for later.

Invertalon Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I was surprised, after talking with a few enthusiast friends we all unanimously agreed that a GCI would be preferred over RMC on Mean Streak. I did not expect that to be honest. I just think Cedar Point needs *legit* wood... They have enough steel coasters and its time to build up the wood... While RMC would be simply awesome, a standard GCI would be ideal IMO. With a 48" height requirement as well would add another family type ride in the lineup as well, if not 46" (are any GCI's 46"?) Plus, just to think.... The RMC treatment of Texas Giant cost $10mil... A brand new mid to large-size GCI would be around the same cost at around $8-10 million. They could do BOTH for less than most modern steel coasters in the $18-20 million range. So why not go for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 ^ I know that would never happen, but.....if it were to, OMFG! I think that would be the happiest I could get as an enthusiast and I would do everything possible to make it to CP for that season! Lets all start a petition and send it to CF lol! Do you think they would listen lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
