GAcoaster Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 The latest rumor is the HORRIBLE Mean Streak at Cedar Point is going ot get some much needed TLC and modification in the next year or two. It's a shame that was such a crappy coaster from the start, since it looks so good! Maybe GCI can turn it into a great coaster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkridedan Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 CF did a great job with Hurler and Rebel Yell last year. They were un-ride-able a few years ago. I have faith in them...unless they use their infamous trim brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsoxfan0810 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I hope if it does get work that it lasts; When I rode it last year it was easily the worst of any ride I've been on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope they can work their magic at the Point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Mean Streak seemed "B&M-smooth" after riding The Villain at Geauga Lake last summer. I am not usually one for demolishing rides but I was happy to see that piece of crap leveled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkridedan Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hahahahaha. I forgot about Villian. It was my #1 coaster at SFWoA in 2003 but it became my least favorite non-D&S coaster last year. Mean Streak was smooth but just a little dull. Well, it's not bad compared with Mantits and Craptor!

GAcoaster Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I'm glad to see I'm not the only one disappointed with the quality of the Point's coasters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Adventurer Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 That's good news; I went on Rebel Yell this past summer, and it was amazingly comfortable for an old woody like that. I have complete faith in these guys' expertise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
