Cedar Point to close Mean Streak coaster

SANDUSKY

Cedar Point announced Monday that Mean Streak, the park’s colossal wooden roller coaster, will be closing for good in the coming weeks. The park did not immediately divulge what would replace it.

Built by Curtis D. Summers Inc., Mean Streak opened in 1991 as the world’s tallest (161 feet) and fastest (65 mph) wooden roller coaster. More than 26 million guests have boarded its three trains of green, gold and red with signature storm-cloud and lightning-bolt graphics, and experienced its 155-foot drop, tall hills and rattling turns over more than 1.7 million board feet of treated Southern yellow pine.

Mean Streak will permanently close Sept. 16. Fans who want to pay their last respects can ride the coaster while the park is open daily through Sept. 5. Then, the park reopens for special hours during a bonus weekend, Sept. 10 and 11. Riders must be 48 inches tall to ride Mean Streak.

Finally, on Sept. 16, the opening night of Cedar Point’s 20th HalloWeekends, the “last rites” will be given to the coaster with one final public riding session from 6-7 p.m. A special memorial ceremony and procession from FrontierTown to the park’s “Dead Rides Cemetery” will then take place at 7:30 p.m.
