Diamondbacker27 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 There should be a TPR bash for the Mean Streak Bonfire. Beer, meat, and S'mores for all! I don't get why everyone HATES Mean Streak, I mean, Yeah it gave me a sore back for 4 days. But, I didn't feel it the same day I rode it. It was bumpy, but that's it. I even rode it 3 times in a row. What's the big deal?
thrillrider Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 He might be referring to the issue they had with the seat belts. Not all the belts were/are the same length. I noticed this problem myself. One time I rode and had a little extra slack in the belt, the next time(an hour later) I had a hard time getting the belt to reach the buckle.

Diamondbacker27 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 You're a glutton for punishment apparently. I guess, I think Gatekeeper was worse than Mean Streak. Due to tightness in the harness.
DJeXeL Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 ^Which has since been fixed. Mean Streak not so much. This is the only fix for Mean Streak:
rcjp Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 ^Haha, funny! I still think a RMC makeover would solve it. They seem to be able to do magic, so....
AndrewRnR Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 ^ No need! The most ironic fact about Mean Streak is that a gas line runs right under it! Next time you are in line you can see the pipe!
thrillrider Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Actually, I heard that the wood that is used for mean streak contains fermeldhide(sp). So it would be toxic to burn.
palmerleeberry Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 ^^How about some lyrics to go with that screen shot? ( To the tune of "Wrecking Ball") "I STOOD IN LINE, FOR A TIME TO RIDE THE MEAN STREAK COASTER; I GOT ON BOARD AND BECAME SORE LIKE AN OLD, BEAT UP TOASTER. I'M STANDING OUTSIDE, HOLDING MY SORE BEHIND BECAUSE THAT RIDE WAS ROUGH; I WON'T TELL A LIE, 'COS I WILL NOT CRY BECAUSE I SHALL BE TOUGH . . . I'LL COME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALL, AND SEE THAT WICKED COASTER FALL I'LL WRECK IT LIKE A WRECKING BALL, LIKE IT WRECKED ME!!!" That's all I could come up with on the fly.
downunder Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Great report, thank you so much for posting. Relocate Mean Streak to the bottom of Lake Erie. Funnily, it's a very picturesque coaster, a bit like a hot girl who's awful in bed. Edited March 1, 2014 by downunder
