    Wow wee wow wow. The mean streak used to be a ride. One of the worst wooden roller coasters ever. Like don't get on it unless you wanna be in pain afterwards. I think it was one of the oldest wooden coasters???! Well they dismantled it back in like? 2017? And built a metal coaster throughout it. This was one of the most fun roller coasters ever. How smooth and badass It's become. As an employee called it, this is mean steaks older brother. Can't wait to go back and get on it again.

    Finally made it

    No need to rehash all the great aspects of this world class roller coaster that tops most enthusiasts' lists. You know that already. One positive aspect that nobody seems to mention is that the crowd waiting in the queue tends to be a very offbeat, interesting sort of crowd. I went on SteVe literally 10X during my visit, and each time I found stimulating people to chat with. You do not get that with every roller coaster. Now onto the disadvantages of this roller coaster that nobody seems to mention. 1) The restraints are heavy and uncomfortable. It is hard to push them down and back up. The restraints also have shin guards, which I find detracts from the ride. Enthusiasts will complain about the restraints Skyrush has, but I have found those to be much freer actually. 2) There is no grab bar. Almost all roller coasters have a grab bar, which attaches to the seat in front of you, and you can hold onto it during rough moments. Steel Vengeance has none. Everyone knows that there are so many wild moments on this ride, so it would be nice to have the option, even if you chose not to use it. It hurts your back when you can't hold on. Most people don't seem to mind, however. 3) The seats are designed in a way that you can bang you elbow. The seat's contour curves around you, and then there is a hard flat surface over your elbows . . . especially if you have your hands up because there is no grab bar. I hit my elbow a few times, and I would say that is a design flaw. But please don't get me wrong. SteVe is one of the very top roller coasters in the world. But I just felt the need to point out disadvantages of the coaster that others fail to see because they are so euphoric about it. It is not my personal favorite.

    Just a Vengeance of a coaster!

    The worlds longest tallest and fastest hyper hybrid coaster try saying that fast a few times and you'll be in a tongue twister just as much as you would be twisting with each amazing ride on Steel Vengeance! The first time I set eyes on this beast I was like wow this is a huge structure of epic proportions but it wasn't until I actually rode it that I was like this is totally an amazing ride time and time again! This is another RMC refurbishment of a wooden coaster gone steel to make it whole again as it's a great way to reuse the structure to make a whole new ride out of it with a whole different way to enjoy! The line can get super long as this is a very popular ride so I'd definitely recommend hitting it in the beginning of the day so you get a chance to ride it as you really don't wanna miss this coaster because it's incredible! Overall this is an amazing ride with a long track it's super fast and just kinda crazy with a Vengeance but needless to say this is one of my favorites on any given Cedar Point day!

    Wow. We had hopes of getting early access as we stayed at Breakers on-property, but a mechanical issue kept it closed until noon. So, we had a 2 hour + wait in line. But it was well worth it! Again, wow! This is unlike any roller coaster I've ridden. A true non-stop thrill. I think I spent more time above my seat than in it. Thankfully, the leg braces and lap restraint really kept me secure. Being slightly taller than average (6'2"), I felt compelled to duck during some of the tight spirals inside the complicated wooden infrastructure.... although it wasn't really necessary-- it was my visceral reaction to do so! Inversions! Air time! And... fast. This was an awesome experience. Don't let a long wait dissuade you from this. Wow.

    The best roller coaster at cedar point! I never imagined I could enjoy a roller coaster that wasn't ridiculously tall. I don't even know where to begin... this roller coaster has a lot of "twisting, turning and RICOCHETING." The air time is the most I've ever experienced on a roller coaster. The twirls and turns are INSANE! You feel like you're falling out of your seat the entire time (but you feel safe because of the harnesses) and it's a super long ride. My favorite roller coaster of all time. If you go to cedar point I would implore you to try to get to this roller coaster AS SOON AS IT OPENS! The lines are insane all day so try your best to ride it as soon as the park opens. BEST. ROLLER COASTER. EVER. P.S. I've been on it at least 30 times.

    I grew up watching the Travel Channel and constantly seeing specials about Cedar Point, so finally…read moregoing for the first time at 33 honestly felt surreal. Last weekend was definitely one of those core memory trips I'll never forget. I'm part of an LGBTQ+ coaster group called Scream Queens and throughout the year we travel all over the country hitting different parks. Usually our trips are around 20 people, but this time? SIXTY gays descended onto Cedar Point like a very organized pride parade with hydration packs and Fast Lanes. We'd split into smaller groups during the day, but half the time there'd still be 30 of us migrating coaster to coaster together. Every time we made it to the correct station, we'd politely ask the ride ops if we could ride the same train, and every single time they did their best to accommodate us. The staff was genuinely so kind about it too, which we appreciated because coaster people know that kind of thing can absolutely throw off operations. Special shoutout to Alexis working both Wild Mouse and the Himalaya in the Boardwalk area. A few of us walked up in our Scream Queens shirts and completely unprovoked they got on the mic and said: "We want to give a big welcome to the ICONIC Scream Queens joining us today." The way a group of mostly 30 and 40 year old men collectively screamed like little kids... embarrassing but beautiful. The only slight downside was that since it's still early season, a few rides weren't operating like Sky Ride, the Ferris wheel, and Magnum XL-200. Since we were there Thursday through Saturday, having those open probably would've helped spread the crowds out a bit more. But honestly? It didn't take away from how amazing the trip was overall. Absolutely can't wait to go back. Also very curious to see how the park evolves now that it's under Six Flags Entertainment Corporation leadership. The coaster community will definitely be watching lol.

    My family visited Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, and overall we had an absolutely fantastic time…read more Cedar Point is known as the "Roller Coaster Capital of the World," and after visiting, it's easy to see why. There are so many rides and attractions that it honestly feels impossible to experience everything in just one visit. The thrill rides are incredible. If you love roller coasters, this place is like paradise. From massive towering coasters that shoot you high into the sky to lightning-fast launches and huge drops, the excitement never stops. Some of the rides had our hearts racing before we even got on them just by watching them fly across the tracks. The feeling of climbing slowly to the top of those massive hills and then dropping down at incredible speeds is an adrenaline rush like no other. My kids and their friends absolutely loved the thrill of it all. One of the coolest parts about Cedar Point is just how many rides there are. Everywhere you look there's another roller coaster twisting through the air, another thrill ride spinning and flipping, or another attraction waiting to be explored. There's a great mix of rides too, so whether you like extreme coasters, classic rides, or more family-friendly attractions, there's something for everyone. The atmosphere throughout the park is really fun and energetic. You can hear people cheering, laughing, and screaming with excitement as the rides fly by overhead. Being right on Lake Erie also makes the setting really beautiful. There are some amazing views of the water while walking around the park, which adds to the whole experience. Now, I will say that Cedar Point can definitely be pricey. Tickets, food, and extras can add up pretty quickly when you're visiting with a group or family. The food itself was actually really good, but the food lines were extremely long at times. We definitely spent a good amount of time waiting in line just to grab something to eat. The ride lines were also pretty long, which is somewhat expected at such a popular amusement park. When you have some of the best roller coasters in the world, people are going to line up for them. Even though the wait times could be lengthy, the rides themselves were absolutely worth it once you finally got on. Despite the cost and the long lines, the experience overall was completely worth it. My family and my kids' friends had an absolute blast from the moment we walked into the park until the moment we left. There were so many laughs, so many screams from the roller coasters, and so many fun memories made throughout the day. Cedar Point truly is an iconic amusement park and a must-visit for anyone who loves thrill rides and roller coasters. It's exciting, energetic, and packed with attractions. Even with the long lines and higher prices, the fun and excitement make it a place our group will definitely remember and talk about for a long time.

And despite the upgrade, this coaster has a BAD reputation. But does it deserve it? Let's find out! So first we climb up the lift hill, and we get a good view of Cedar Point. And a GREAT view of Top Thrill 2's Spike (although this wasn't built when I was there so RIP). We then hit a turnaround and hit the first drop. And we get... AIRTIME! Not a lot, but enough to make our butts go out of the seat. Which, HEY! I'll take it!!! We then hit the standard B&M Vertical Loop, which is fun followed by a Dive Loop which is great due to how much speed we have. But then we hit the INCLINED LOOP! Now, B&M Inclined loops are super rare, which is a shame because they're awesome. I LOVE the Inclined Loop on Riddler's Revenge (Would've also probably loved the one on this when it was Mantis as well as Green Lantern at Great Adventure. Sad that ride got torn down), and I love this one too! Plus, this is the only B&M Floorless coaster to have one of these! Making this super cool! We then hit the mid-course brakes and sadly, this is where Rougarou falls apart, Rougarou kind of sucks from here on out. We then hit some twisty turns which don't do much, a corkscrew that bangs our heads a bit (not too badly thankfully) until we hit the brake run. While Rougarou is not the best B&M looper ever and isn't one of Cedar Point's best coasters, it's not a bad ride by any means. In fact, I consider it to be underrated and a fun ride. Like seriously, from the way my friend talked about this ride, he made it sound like it was as bad as a Vekoma SLC or Green Lantern. LIKE BRO, ARE YOU NUTS???? THIS THING CURBSTOMPS BOTH OF THEM!!! And yeah, after riding it with him, it's really not that bad! That first half is just so good and again, I LOVE INCLINED LOOPS! Plus this never usually has a line. So I recommend checking this out at Cedar Point. Final Score: 72/100 Opened as Mantis in 1996 Reopened as Rougarou in 2015 Built by: B&M Last Ridden: May 20th 2023

    Greg's Coaster Collection: Ride #2 - Maverick Category:…read moreThrill Coaster | Rating: 5/5 | Best For: Coaster Enthusiasts & Adventure Seekers | Wait Time: Maverick is hands down one of my favorite coasters at Cedar Point. It's got this wild, untamed wilderness vibe that perfectly fits its name. The first lift hill leads into a jaw-dropping 95-degree drop that instantly wakes you up, followed by crazy, whip-fast turns that keep your heart racing the entire ride. The sleek design, bold colors, and overall atmosphere make it feel like you're on a roller coaster adventure through the backcountry. One of my favorite moments is the unexpected launch underneath the station that shoots you toward the water section -- it's a rush like no other. Like Millennium Force, Maverick's iconic silhouette is visible from the road as you approach the park, a beacon of thrills calling you in. Ride Stats: 4,450 feet of track * 70 mph top speed * 95-degree drop * 2 minutes 30 seconds ride time Best Seat: Front row for pure speed, back row for maximum airtime Pro Tip: Avoid the midday crowds -- rope drop or the last ride of the night means way less waiting. Photo-Worthy? Absolutely, especially near the first drop and water section. Personal Note: This coaster quickly became my favorite at Cedar Point for its unique mix of wild design and intense thrills. Every ride feels like a new adventure, and that launch under the station still gets me every time.

It's fast, it's compact, and if you've eaten recently, you might regret the ride -- those inversions pack a punch! It's not the scariest coaster in the park by any means, but it's definitely not for the faint of heart either. Plus, there's something fun about walking underneath as the trains zip overhead -- classic Cedar Point vibe right there. It's a quick ride and definitely less popular than it was back in the day, but still worth a spin if you want a taste of coaster history. Ride Stats: 2,200 feet of track * 48 mph top speed * 85-foot drop * 1 minute 40 seconds ride time Best Seat: Front row for smoother inversions, back row for extra speed Pro Tip: Best for a quick thrill when lines are short. Photo-Worthy? Only if you like shots of blue and white blur! Personal Note: Corkscrew might not be my top pick, but it's a classic that every Cedar Point fan should experience -- a nice throwback to the park's early thrill days.

It's one of the park's most beloved attractions and a true fan favorite. Nothing beats the thrill of racing head-to-head against your friends on the dual red and blue tracks -- and the signature "Can I get a high five?" moment as you zip side-by-side is pure adrenaline and fun. Gemini's classic wooden coaster feel packs a punch with its speed and smoothness, proving that old-school designs still hold their own in a park filled with giants. This coaster has been a park staple forever, and honestly, I hope they never get rid of it. Ride Stats: 3,264 feet of track (each side) * 60 mph top speed * 70-foot drop * 2 minutes ride time Best Seat: Back seats for extra airtime and speed Pro Tip: Ride during parades or midday for shorter lines. Photo-Worthy? Yes, especially during the head-to-head races. Personal Note: Gemini is the perfect mix of nostalgia, competition, and fun. Nothing beats the rush of racing friends and trying to snag that high five mid-ride!
