Mean Streak opened at Cedar Point in 1991 as one of the tallest and fastest wooden roller coasters in the world. It stood 161 feet tall, with over 5,400 feet of track twisting through a massive wooden structure in the park’s Frontier Town. Despite its scale, riders often complained about its rough, unforgiving ride. Over time, it became infamous more for its back-breaking rattle than its thrills. In 2016, Cedar Point shut it down—and two years later, it was reborn as Steel Vengeance, a record-breaking hybrid coaster built on the same bones. a wooden giant turned steel legend. mean as hell. now perfect.
