Eilonwy Hewlett One year, I saw the witches’ wheel, I was too young and too short but the following year i would be able to ride. The next year it was closed down for a restaurant. I really wanted to ride it judging by the outside view. Last year at Halloweekends I saw the tombstone for it when my mom and I were heading back to the hotel after I rode the Raptor.

Thank you for having my footage on your channel. If you ever come across other coaster footage you would like to use feel free to do so. I like your channel.
I grew up in Michigan and we went to Cedar Point almost ever summer for a weekend when I was a kid. Got to ride both Avalanche Run and Disaster Transport back in the day. I'm still mad I lost my rubber neon pink Tommy Bahama sunglasses on the latter in 1990 (I had bought them the summer before in LA).
Steel Vengeance definitely lives up to the hype. I thought people were getting too excited over it at first, but after riding it 3 times I can say without a doubt that it’s the best coaster I’ve ever ridden.
gatekeeper and maverick are better steel vengeance was ok and the nothing but the clothes on your back rule pissed me off (actually it was the attitude of one of the workers)
I was recently having a conversation with my grandmother who remembers some of the coasters from the 60s-early 2000s of Cedar Point before she stopped riding coasters. She had mentioned Broadway Trip, Scamper, Wild Mouse, both Wildcats, Jumbo Jet, Mantis, Disaster Transport, and Mean Streak. I had remembered the latter three from my first few trips to CP, but I never rode them since I wasn’t tall enough 😂. That’s besides the point though. Great video, very informative.
I have not been on gatekeeper but it still pees me right off that they took out Disaster transport and Space Spiral (My now deceased uncle loved Space Spiral). Now I can't ride that in honor of my uncle.
David just because YOU like one coaster doesn't give you the right to be all rude to others because they don't like the same coaster as you do. Don't forget that everyone is actually different. You have no right speaking to ANYONE like you just did because you don't agree with them, that is not only rude but it shows how ignorant you really are.
My last ride on the MeanStreak was the best, it was raining... Slipped threw both brakeblocks, the one on the first hill and mid way... God was that thing fast. I was the only one on the train and it two wheeled around the first turn after the first hill. I seriously thought I was going to die! First row, outside position. But somehow the speed and rain smoothed it out❣️💞 I'll always miss her short wait times💞 My favorite ride ever 💞❣️
It's a testament to how long it's been since I've been to Cedar Point that I didn't even realize the Wildcat was gone, lol. And I'll definitely miss Disaster Transport for nostalgia reasons. That being said, good riddance to the standing cars of the Mantis. The most common thing you'd hear coming off that ride was some variation of "Oh God, my legs!"
Since joining the Army, I haven’t been to Cedar Point in over 10 years...I didn’t know that Wildcat and Disaster Transport are closed. Disaster Transport was always good when it was hot, standing in line in the A/C. I’m SOOO glad they closed Mean Streak (I always got a headache from ridding that ride).
Fun fact: according to RCDB, after leaving Cedar Point, Scamper went to Dollywood, at the time known as Goldrush Junction. It was there from 1970 to >1972, according to RCDB, and keeping its name Scamper. Dollywood was known as Goldrush Junction from 1970 to 1974.
The mantis used to hurrrtttttt!!!! I remember early 2000’s lines were long asffff fir the mantis...lol being from Michigan it’s a tradition to get up and go to cedar point allll throughout the summer! I’ve ridden the mantis, wildcat, meanstreak, demon drop, and everything else that still stands today! I LOVE CEDAR POINT!!
I had ridden Disaster Transport many times through the years as a child and as an adult and just before they tore it down. It is kind of amazing how different the ride experience became over the years as some of the parts on the inside were so damaged they were no longer being used due to water leaking inside the building.
Wild Mouse coasters still exist in Europe, mostly portable ones. One has been coming at my local November fair in Normandy, France, for over 20 years, called "Crazy Mouse". I think there are some in Germany too.
Theme Park Crazy I agree it's borderline Coaster and not a Coaster but I'll give it to you because Dorney doesn't consider it a roller coaster but Cedar Point marketed it as a roller coaster I believe
I rode the Top 3 many many times. The WIldcat Pt 2 was pretty intimidating. Funny when you consider it was surrounded by much larger and faster coasters. I think it always looked like it would jump the track! Hahaha. Disaster Transport was so awesome as a kid. But over the years it got worse and worse. I would love to see a new indoor coaster at CP, but nothing will match the nostalgia of the DT. And then there is the MeanStreak. Man was this thing awesome to look at when it opened. I loved that it was at the very back of the park as it gave us a place to meet, ride, and then move on. But damn did that thing rattle your bones. Not for the faint of heart. But the reward was some of the craziest banking, decent speed, and just gorgeous sites if you liked the structure of a mammoth wood coaster.
Mantis was the tats before they activated the trim breaks after the first hill. It was an awesome ride. Also, I'm the guy that liked disaster transport. I think my brother was the other one.
I was just at Cedar point this weekend and I gotta say that Steel Vengeance lives up to the hype. I'm from Chicago and our six flags has GOLIATH and I thought Steel Vengeance was just a knock off, BOY was I wrong! Not only is it a very exciting ride but it's a long one. I only had to wait about 30 minutes but head people say they waited over two hours and still thought it was worth it.
Awesome! I actually went to Cedar Point for the second time and the first time for my girlfriend, and we got to ride Mean Streak in its final season. It wasn't rough, honestly it was an amazing ride. I'm glad to see they're making good use of it.
I grew up in MN. I would go to ValleyFair all the time. I rode Wild Rails (Wild Cat from Cedar Point). Then they named it The Rails then eventually replaced it with a new "Mad Mouse" ride.
Due to my height, stand up coasters were difficult. They never went high enough and I'd end up having to do basically a wall-sit the whole ride. Even so, I loved them and miss them. I think a lot of people simply didnt ride them correctly which contributed to the general dislike of stand-up coasters. Scenic Railway at $0.10 would be about $2.70 today so yeah, I'd say that's pretty good. $3 won't get you much at a Cedar Fair park today.
You know what I'd like to see? I'd like to see Disaster Transport remade as a 4-D experience. Perhaps it could be made with an intentional Cassette Futurism aesthetic.
I remember disaster transport... My sister said there was a really big and fun slide inside of it (because I didn’t want to go in) and little did I know.. SHE LIED. I had fun though..
The only roller coaster there that I would be able to ride 16,000 times is Gatekeeper. That's the only one I can think of that wouldn't be unbearable to ride 16,000 times. Lol
Pretty ironic that Cedar Fair once operated a coaster called “Racer,” only to acquire Kings Island, and now operates a coaster by the same name. The layout looks a little similar with all those hills.
i think one day every season for every floorless coaster that was once a stand up the date it closed they should change the trains to stand up as a tribute
i think that mantis deserves an honorable mention. it was a huge thing for a standup coaster to happen when it did. i do miss mantis and find the new rougarou awful
Damn shame about the Disaster Transport & second Wildcat. I liked both of those! Mean Streak definitely gave a rough ride when I went on it, but not terrible. Must just have been a good day for it.
I've ridden the cony island cyclone....it was sketch! but awesome!and the wild one in maryland, that's a good coaster, and the comet at hershey park thats as old school of coasters I've ridden. old coasters have great vibes
It seems the loop the loop was the same as lakemmont's leap the dips both have a three way figure eight (toboggan) layout. Apparently back then when they relocate a coaster it meant they re-purposed the lumber and cars, because the racer layout is completely different.
+Tim K As far as I know, the renovation involved changing the ride too. I found that detail odd, but since that was apparently the only photo of loop the loop, I figured the renovation to most of it was massive. It was pretty rough to research this video since the coasters are so old.
I agree in the little research (If you can even call it that) i've done, I found it a bit confusing. It fascinates me how roller coaster history unfolded. Thanks for the post, Well done.
Just rode the new ride Steel Vengeance a few weeks ago. That was the most intense roller coaster ride I've ever been on. Had a bruise on my left thigh from it from the sheer intensity of it but it was a smooth ride nonetheless. Much better than when it was the Mean Streak. My neck would kill me so I refused to ride it starting a few years ago.
Wait what! Mean streak is not completely dead❣️💞💞💞💞💞💞 It honestly was my favorite ride there because of its extended ride time and short wait... Probably the ride the I've ridden most💞❣️ I seriously cried when they closed the mean streak! To hear its becoming a hybrid 💞
Mean streak was my favorite wooden coaster of all time. I was heartbroken when I found out that it was closing down , and I didn’t realize the my last ride on the coaster really would be my last ride😥
+Nick Werner I know. What I meant is that the original wooden coaster experience, as well as the original track and layout, are indeed no more. With Mantis, it's the same track and layout, so it was an honorable mention.
Mantis used to crush my nuts. Unrelated to that, I got stuck on it on its last year at the end of the night, and they let us ride millenium force twice in a row for the 'trouble'. It was really cool walking off the track and down a spiral staircase to get off the ride! Holy shit I'm commenting on a really old video haha.
I'm glad mantis got changed. That thing beat the crap out of you and was very awkward with the 'stand up' design with the way you had to position yourself. It was a much needed overhaul.
Lol I remember going with my family to cedar point and my brothers dad was like don't go on the mean streak, you'll need a chiropractor. I ignored and went on it anyway, and literally my back felt like snapping by the time I went down the first hill. It was so terrible I actually feared for my bones.
It switched some time in the late 60s or early 70s. I can remember when it was a pay-per-ride park. You bought tickets, and different rides cost a different number of tickets. For one or two years, you even had a choice, you could buy the all-day pass or you could still go pay-per-ride. If you bought the all-day pass, they wrapped a little colored string around your wrist with a clip-on metal hook that you couldn't re-open (so you couldn't take it off and re-use it or let someone borrow it.)
I miss Disaster Transport and Wildcat. DT was kind of lame, but it was decently fun and always appreciated for its air conditioned queue. Wildcat was just a solid mouse coaster with some crazy g-forces on it. Mean Streak needed the help. It was rough and boring with 0 airtime. Not to mention they had to add brakes to the first hill, which was nuts.
Funny how Valleyfair is the second half of cedar fair and they don't have a B&M it's my home park and there probably going to remove Excalibur too so we will have 7 coasters
Andy Vettel was a kid when Leap the Dips opened. He was the nephew or son of the Vettel Brother who designed coasters in the 'teens. Also you show a pic of the Cyclone that was at Crystal Beach, Canada. It is a very different ride than the 1929 Cedar Point Cyclone. These kinds of errors should not pass an editor with basic knowledge of coaster history.
CP would probably consider Mantis to be a former ride. There is a tomb stone in the graveyard every Halloween season.

@Dusk Raccoon I think Steel Vengeance is much better than Valravn and I've ridden both multiple times.
gatekeeper and maverick are better steel vengeance was ok and the nothing but the clothes on your back rule pissed me off (actually it was the attitude of one of the workers)
Caliginous Moira Gate keeper is too slow in my opinion. I liked millennium force the most
Steel Vengeance is an awesome ride. But unlike many, I really liked the original Mean Streak.
JL Short is too powerful they enjoyed mean streak
My nostalgia goggles will miss Mean Streak, to an extent. My spine, however, will not. Good to hear they decided to do something about the ride.

Disaster Transport was soooo good . But they put Gatekeeper in its spot. Which most people think is better but not in my opinion
DWT • I agree wit u gatekeeper sucks... I got off it the 1st time and was they got rid of disaster transport for this
DWT • I don't really remember disaster transport, but I just remember it being my favorite. I think gate keeper is pretty good.
I think they should find out how to put it back in the place of the mine ride
I have not been on gatekeeper but it still pees me right off that they took out Disaster transport and Space Spiral (My now deceased uncle loved Space Spiral). Now I can't ride that in honor of my uncle.

I rode Mantis once. I didn't have to ride it again. I'm so glad CP turned it into a sit-down, floorless coaster. It works so much better that way.
Steven Byers I loved Mantis. It was fun riding a stand up coaster.
plumpkitters I would actually pump the seat down a bit so I could actually stand without that seat splitting my butt in 2, lol
The first part of the ride is great, but the second half is too tight and jerky. it was pretty painful in stand-up position
I got stuck on the Mantis the year it opened...
I loved the Mantis but being only 5 ft tall it was very hard to lock it in place
It's a testament to how long it's been since I've been to Cedar Point that I didn't even realize the Wildcat was gone, lol. And I'll definitely miss Disaster Transport for nostalgia reasons.
That being said, good riddance to the standing cars of the Mantis. The most common thing you'd hear coming off that ride was some variation of "Oh God, my legs!"
Or balls if you were a guy

It was my cock and balls that took a beating. It was not favorable to male passengers

+Thrill Chaser Technically, that's a drop tower/flat ride and not an actual coaster.
+Theme Park Crazy An old Intamin drop tower to be exact.
Theme Park Crazy I agree it's borderline Coaster and not a Coaster but I'll give it to you because Dorney doesn't consider it a roller coaster but Cedar Point marketed it as a roller coaster I believe

Steel Vengeance has definitely lived up to the hype. It’s one of my favorite rides there
Never mentioned the runaway mine car ride. That was so cool, it was in the Frontierland area and dipped over the river.
Mantis was the tats before they activated the trim breaks after the first hill. It was an awesome ride. Also, I'm the guy that liked disaster transport. I think my brother was the other one.
I remember riding a Little Dipper ride in the early 1970's at Conneaut Lake Park PA. They also had a Wild Mouse ride.

There is also a wild mouse coaster at Hershey park in PA for anyone who wants to know.
Disaster transport will be missed forever
Hopefully if he's still around, they'll put Harry in the first launched car after the old Mean Streak opens for the public in its new form.
I miss Disaster Transport so much. It wasn't that fast or long, but it was such a cool experience.
I remember disaster transport... My sister said there was a really big and fun slide inside of it (because I didn’t want to go in) and little did I know.. SHE LIED. I had fun though..

what if they had one stand up train for rougaroo and one floorless.
the one and only rusty shakleford That is an AWESOME idea. I loved MANTIS.
Ron Scurti problem is the lines and people have to wait longer for the train they want.
the one and only rusty shakleford They can have 2 lines, and alternate running the coasters.

Man cedar point in Ohio never been theyre but it looks fun
Number one roller coaster of all time is Mean Streak opened in 1991 and closed in 2016.
I feel honored to have rode the Mantis, although I prefer a sit down coaster any day.
I miss riding the switchback railway back in the day
wait what XD
YomummmGaming WHAT THE HECK GRANDMA XD no offense 😀😀😀😀😎
aedbeauty101 GREAT GRANDMA*
Sammy Locklear the Leviathan please be joking

The stand-up Mantis was awesome!
i remember riding the mantis as its original form when i was in 8th grade in 2011. shocking to hear it got a makeover!
Mantis (Rougarou) is so rough nowadays
I live down the road from the point, I love it
Goo Dragon best place on earth 🙌🏽😊
Also, the new Wildcat closed because since they ran 2 cars at the same time, on a rare occasion they would crash and one time an 8 year old girl died.
There's a jumbo jet ride called Jet Star II in Farmington, Utah's park Lagoon
Just rode the new ride Steel Vengeance a few weeks ago. That was the most intense roller coaster ride I've ever been on. Had a bruise on my left thigh from it from the sheer intensity of it but it was a smooth ride nonetheless. Much better than when it was the Mean Streak. My neck would kill me so I refused to ride it starting a few years ago.
And now Mean Streak is Steel Vengeance...which is probably the most amazing coaster I've ever been on.
Wait what! Mean streak is not completely dead❣️💞💞💞💞💞💞
It honestly was my favorite ride there because of its extended ride time and short wait... Probably the ride the I've ridden most💞❣️
I seriously cried when they closed the mean streak!
To hear its becoming a hybrid 💞
Mean streak was my favorite wooden coaster of all time. I was heartbroken when I found out that it was closing down , and I didn’t realize the my last ride on the coaster really would be my last ride😥
10 cents in 1913 (the earliest year than can be calculated) is equal to $2.61 today.
the rougaru just isn’t the same as the mantis. the standing up was what made it fun to me :(
your not family until you go to cedar point together.
Welp- I just went there 3 weeks ago for 2 days so... Yay!
Disaster transport was amazing I had no clue it was a bobsled
and now... Top Thrill Dragster.
oh hell this was posted on my birthday and i *love* rollercoasters
Actually, for Mean Streak, it is being revamped into a Wood/Steel hybrid coaster. Think it could be the FIRST EVER hybrid coaster?
+Nick Werner I know. What I meant is that the original wooden coaster experience, as well as the original track and layout, are indeed no more. With Mantis, it's the same track and layout, so it was an honorable mention.
so wired seeing Theme park crazy 5 years ago
I miss disaster transport😔, when I was younger that was one of the only coasters I was aloud to ride

Mean Streak was HORIBBLE!! gave me a terrible headache when I got off.
I used to live near the drive-in movie theater in Montana, it's near Billings.
Now wicked twister is now a former
BTW the renovated mean streak is called steel vengeance
I'm going to ceader point next weekend can't wait to ride top thrill dragster
It's ironic that one of cedar fairs most neglected parks is in its name 😂
That banshee logo looks so oooo close to the phatoms revenge in Kennywood s park in PGH pa
Now wicked twister will be added to this list!
I actually had no idea they shut down mean streak, I haven't been in a few years, hoping to go this year before summer closes out.
I'm going in august and immediately I will compare Kingda ka (my third favorite coaster as of now) and TTD.
aeklund Wait one more year and ride the Meaner Streak in '18. jmo.
I remember riding wildcat my junior year of high school . Oh the memories
Mean streak was my number 1 and remains my number 1. Although, I am very excited for Steel Vengeance.
Wild mouse is back now it’s not the best Costner there obesity but it’s a pretty good family coaster
Great work! Thank you.
we should make rollercoaster that have really dark and disturbing names and settings.
now to add the original Dragster
edit: and wicked twister

Cedar Point began as a payper ride park!?!? That's awesome!! When was the switch to pay per stay?
It switched some time in the late 60s or early 70s. I can remember when it was a pay-per-ride park. You bought tickets, and different rides cost a different number of tickets. For one or two years, you even had a choice, you could buy the all-day pass or you could still go pay-per-ride. If you bought the all-day pass, they wrapped a little colored string around your wrist with a clip-on metal hook that you couldn't re-open (so you couldn't take it off and re-use it or let someone borrow it.)
Did they neglect to mention Wildcat closed because of a collision that (minorly) injured seven?
Wildcat! Even if you did get stuck in the dip every now and then!
fucking love kings island and cedar point. grew up with both of em
I remember riding the original and second wildcat and the jumbo jet...
At least mean streak will be now going upside down.
The Mean Streak is being replaced with the Steel Vengeance. They just announced it today!
I’m so glad they changed mantis I use to pass out on the drop every time
I miss Disaster Transport and Wildcat. DT was kind of lame, but it was decently fun and always appreciated for its air conditioned queue. Wildcat was just a solid mouse coaster with some crazy g-forces on it.

Funny how Valleyfair is the second half of cedar fair and they don't have a B&M it's my home park and there probably going to remove Excalibur too so we will have 7 coasters
FizzyOGamer cedar fair has around 12 parks

Also you show a pic of the Cyclone that was at Crystal Beach, Canada. It is a very different ride than the 1929 Cedar Point Cyclone. These kinds of errors should not pass an editor with basic knowledge of coaster history.
That wild mouse went to geauga lake then Chippewa lake after it hurt people at the previous 2
17 coasters. pipe scream is a rollercoaster
I don't think I'd qualify pipescream as as coaster. It's kinda lame. (Even if Cedar Fair is trying to cheat their way to 17 coasters)
