- Its not a popular ride in the eyes of many...but what did I think? Is the bashing accurate, or are people too harsh?

Mean Streak would be awesome if they took the square wheels off.
You are very funny
It's an old theme park joke.
It has wheels?
Rollercoaster Rider LOL
Lucas Bradley nice
Only if they would RMC it
Oh wait...
Caleb Stevens They did it’s the greatest roller coaster in the world it’s called steel vengeance
Chase The pup don’t @ me El Toro is better
Ricky bon dicky sticky you are right El Toro and the voyage are really good coasters
@@bombsquadbh2277 Both are top 5 in the world
How to know if cedar point is busy
1: There should be a full line on mean streak
2: That's it!
'Sleeping guy' is hilarious!
Well, it does live up to its name.
Good pun
When asked about Cedar Points upcoming 150th anniversary, CEO of Cedar Fair Matt Ouimet agreed that the plot that Mean Streak stands on has a lot of potential for either a "Meaner" version of it or a new ride to leave Formula Rossa and Kingda Ka in the dust.
"we need rmc to come in here and make it better!" ...they did....much better
1:39 I like how the guy was sleeping when the ride was over.
That was Taylor
One of the reasons is because Maverick is right next door
First year she opened in '91, they used the whole queue, it was a 3 hour wait! It was fun then, no trim on the first hill. But it still kinda sucked. The first hill although high (161 feet) was boring due to the terrible drop angle. It was rough then, but OMFG this thing got wacky rough. The last few times I rode it I felt like I needed a Chiropractor. I swore off this ride and refused to ride (this was probably about 2004) it any longer. Really excited now though, RMC Mean Streak looks awesome so far.
During halloweekends, I waited like an hour to ride mean streak. The line went all the way out to the train tracks.
Thank God they turned this into the BEST coaster in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed this ride during its first two years. It was fast.
I thought this coaster was just ok when I rode it
I didn't find it too bad in the front row, but I did find it quick boring in layout and forces.
It wasn't a bad ride, but it's not great. It's good enough for you to not hate it as much as other people say it is. Because of all its retracking, Mean Streak wasn't bad at all, but of course Steel Vengeance will be a whole lot better
Koaster Kids YOU'RE A KID AND YOU RODE THIS THING!?!? (Then you're a better person than I am)
Agreed just some turns and turns and turns
5 hours later: turns and turns screeech oh yes it's over! I thought it was very lame
I'm the same with Logan. It was just okay.
When I was a GP this was my favorite roller coaster WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME!!??
LMFAO
Owen Wilson lol, it’s your opinion lol. 36% of people like mean streak
I’m far from gp and I loved this coaster for what it was, and after it was retracked, the trims were pulled and it was amazing.
how long ago? i loved it the first year it came out. there was one point in the line, in the middle of the structure, that there was so much wooden structure that it completely blocked out the sun. very impressive. by year 3 or 4 though, it was like sitting on a park bench mounted on 4 jackhammers.
Funny how I watched this after riding Steel Vengeance.
This was one of my first big coasters ever riding, I remember it being rough, It was a long ride, lots of variable speeds. BUT YOU GOT AN AWESOME VIEW ON THE WATER!!
Great review as always Taylor. I love how you never rant on about how bad a ride like Mean Streak is, but you evaluate it and give it an honest rating. This is the reason I love this channel.
Wildcat is rough, but I love it because it is at my home park and there is never a line. I just love having the coaster to myself.
+Christain the Coaster Guy Same. Once youve ridden it a ton of times, you get used to it. Hopefully GCI will retrack it or, if it gets worse, RMC the thing haha
I am going to Cedar Point this Sunday. Do the seats on this ride affect the smoothness? Is the front smoother than the back?
Cedar Point: hey RMC could you fix Mean Streak up for us? You know retrack it add some more elements. RMC staring at the coaster: I’m sorry what? Completely redo it and make it a hybrid? Ok how crazy do you want it? Cedar Point: Yes. And thus Steel Vengeance was born.
When I went for Halloweeends in 2014, the Line for mean streak was all way to the train station crossing.
You should do a top ten roughest roller coasters
Got to ride Mean Streak the last year it was open. Yeah, it was definitely rough, but I personally enjoyed the ride itself quite a bit and was sad to see it go. But looking forward to Steel Vengeance.
One more thing did you ride the Old Texas Giant? Was it alright or did the roughness murder it completely?
I rode mean streak back in 2013, and I guess I was just so excited to find anything wrong I didn't notice.
Rode this when I was a kid and coaster-crazy. I remember being so disappointed. It's a beautiful structure. It just feels like the part of a coaster leading to the lift-hill...for the entire ride.
Mean streak would be extremely boring if it wasn't rough. The roughness is the only reason that I ride it...
+Brandon Perkins Woodies were made to be rough. As long as they don't actually hurt you they are great.
It is only boring because it is so rough. When it was new is smooth and fast all the way through. Anything but boring.
It is an extremely fast, fun ride, but the smoothness takes away from it. It should run on wooden tracks. It would really kick butt then.
I went on Halloweekends this fall and the queue was out the entrance! Waited probably an hour
Alright, first off Mean Streak is a great coaster. I do agree that it's trimmed to death but that is a result of everyone complaining about it. I visit the park about 2 times a week during the season and most of the time of my visits are spent at Mean Streak. Mean Streak is a great coaster but it comes down to a matter of comparison. At the time it was built, there were no incredible elements that we have today. Unfortunately, as roller coasters developed and smooth steel roller coasters came about, everyone became pampered and riding a slightly bumpy coaster just seemed too painful for them. A GCI treatment is the least that I would like to see done to Mean Streak. It is a classical wooden coaster that was and still is enjoyed by many today. Due to RMC it can be classified as a dying breed because so many parks ruin their wooden coasters by having them redone by RMC which I am completely against. Maverick takes away from Mean Streaks line so that is an excuse.
I do like that RMC is building their own coasters but I do not like the fact that they destroy good wooden coasters. Mean Streak really is a good coaster. Henry is a close friend of mine and he, like myself and many others are not pampered by smooth steel coasters and like to ride a classical wooden coaster. The coaster world has evolved and due to word of mouth of all of these people trashing Mean Streak over youtube and other places, Mean Streak has gained a bad name. But that bad name is not true, Mean Streak is a great coaster that deserves to be ridden. And a little tip - If you want your ride to be less bumpy, sit in the front of a car and keep your back off the the seat back. That makes the ride a lot smoother. Please don't hate on mean streak. It is a great coaster that has been given a bad name that it truly does not deserve.
well, mean streak turned from arguably the worst ride in the park to the best. 99% of the public agrees and this same channel agrees. RMC is the greatest thing to happen to this coaster since it opened.
I agree with the first replies. I hate the fact that all the good, old fashioned wooden coasters are being ruined by RMC. Does EVERY friggin roller coaster have to have inversions? I'm not afraid of inversions, they just annoy the hell out of me. And why all the complaints about 'roughness'? The roughness is a big part of the fun of wooden roller coasters. One or two steel coasters in a park is enough. They mostly have the same layouts anyway. If you've ridden one, you've ridden almost all of them. I read a comment by a guy who said 'All wooden roller coasters should be demolished.' Well, now they are being demolished. And it's a real shame.
Just checking, you’ve ridden an RMC before right? I mean I sorta had the same opinion before i rode my first one (steel vengeance) and after having ridden 7 RMC coasters i stand with my opinion fully that RMC is pretty much the greatest thing to happen to old woodies.
Yeah, people who say that RMC is "destroying wooden coasters" has probably never ridden an RMC.
Also, for people who say, "wooders coasters being rough is what makes them great!", well, I guess if you like headaches and mandatory visits to the chiropractor after a ride, to each their own, but you'll find many people disagreeing with you.
Last time I went to cedar point, rougarou had a station wait, but there was a 2.5 hour wait for valravyn
2.5 hours is common for new Cedar Point coasters during their debut season. I waited 2.5 hours for Mean Streak when it was the new hot coaster! Didn't regret a thing. It was beautiful at the time.
Cedar point if you're watching please RMC not GCI!!
BUT BLUE STREAK IS SO SMALL THEY SHOULD GCI
They need to add a GCI
Coaster Genius I could see them adding a GCI like mystic timbers within the next ten years. I think the next few coasters they'll get are rmc mean streak, a polar coaster that goes over 500 feet, a GCI, and a b&m flyer.
I don't think they should add a polar coaster
You're in luck
i rode it when it first opened.....i waited over 2 hrs to get on and you could feel the ground shake when went down that first drop....
that thing had no trims at all on it...
and it vibrated so bad its like you could not see...it was truly MEAN.....
Wait until you ride steal vengeance.
American Eagle at SFGAm was built 10 years earlier and has a 55 Degree Drop.
Only rode it twice. The second time I had the foresight to bring some Advil
Hey Taylor, can you compare Santa cruz beach boardwalk and Castles and coasters?
1:40 he looks so excited he was on that ride
I'd be curious to know if those trim breaks were added in as a post OEM mod. I remember riding this as a kid in the 90s and thinking it was great. I realize some of these big wooden roller coasters had structures that aged poorly and made the track a lot bumpier. Looking forward to riding the RMC mean streak when my kids get older.
I remember riding Mantis the first year it was out and no trim breaks existed which made it a great ride. Fast forward to a handful of years later and the trim breaks were on and it totally ruined the experience for me. Trim breaks are the worst.
I liked it. It was good for what it had to offer when I first rode it in the early 90’s.
TAYLOR i LOVE this video !!!
The old Georgia Cyclone at SFOG was manufactured by Dinn, and I'd put it in the top 5 coasters there.
I like how that guy look like he was asleep at 1:42 XD
which do you think is rougher, Mean Streak or The Boss (SFSTL)
Been on both. Mean Streak is a little rougher.
Meanders around? Sounds like a lot of my old rides, at least the end of them, I was so interested in making length that I forgot to consider excitement in the process, that's probably what happened to this one. I think if it got reprofiled that would be good, keep the same ideas but make them better, cuz everyone likes a good classic woody, if it's not too bad and still exciting. I think a track reprofile would be a great thing for this ride.
I wish RMC would do a makeover, like a hybrid, but keep it wood. Make it be a typical RMC with all those crazy elements, but keep the track wooden.
That isn't a good idea at all. It would be bumpy as hell going through inversions and that wouldn't be fun
Ethen Nasrallah it has steel tracks lmao. He was saying keep the track wood
Okay so I saw mean streak this weekend personally and they have done quite a bit to the track ^.^
RIP Mean Streak
I always loved it and would consider it one of my favorites at the park; nothing like an ole classic woodie to toss you around and beat you up a bit. I was the one dragging the rest of my family or friends to go in it while we were passing it by. I grew up going to Geauga Lake regularly and sort of became accustomed to The Villain/Big Dipper, and by the time we finally decided to make the "trip" to Cedar Point, Mean Streak and Blue Streak were nice counterparts/replacements to the defunct Geauga Lake coasters I grew up loving.
Although its gone and I'll miss it, Steel Vengeance was the best and smartest thing they could have done to it.
is the rolling thunder that used to be a six flags great adventure more rough than this?
Definately.
Can You Remind Some People That Its being Rmc'd? I watch this and then watch another video and when saw the RMC track I was like omg!!!!! Awesome Review BTW...
people definitely overreact about its roughness
+CoastersNGames It's ruff. Period.
+Jude Demo no it's not and its rough not ruff
+CoastersNGames I agree, but it is still rough. I hate because it is so boring.
FaZe Thomas's Mom Yes it is rough. And sorry about my spelling. I'm typing this on my phone.
I don't notice the boring with the bright lines of pain in my eyes
I'm apparently the only person in the world who liked Mean Streak - genuinely liked it, as in would willingly go for multiple rides on it at every CP visit. It probably helps that I got a trimless ride the first time I went on it, but I thought it was a genuinely fun coaster that used its own architecture well, and it wasn't actually THAT rough, especially if you sat near the front. I'd ride Mean Streak all day long before you could get me on a Vekoma boomerang monstrosity or most of the still-running Arrow loopers.
When is the Q&A video coming out?
Taylor, I’m from the future! They are rmcing this in 2018 and it will be called steel vengeance
I rode the Mean Streak last year at Cedar Point. I rode it a few times in a row. It bobbles you around and it is really not smooth. It gave me a headache and after just riding the awesome Maverick, Mean Streak just wasn't that good.
Good coaster that Dinn built: The now defunct Hercules at Dorney.
HELL NO! Hercules hurt my knees when I rode it
Joey G thats why its called hurt your knees
The Science of Creativity about time somebody picked that up :)
What manufacturer made the beast in kings island?
Speedy Reviews it was built in house
What's the longest and shortest line in the park?
I. Going to this summer so I need to know what has the shortest line so I ride it at night (even shorter line)
And longest so I know to go on it the earliest
+TheCoasterOfficial This, Iron Dragon, or Gemini
Longest: TTD
Shortest: Blue Streak
+Ben French TTD never has a long line. Every time I go it's a 20 minute wait. Valravn and Maverick have the longest lines.
What do you hate moreMean Streak or The Hurler?
I wonder if I would like it? I never care how rough a coaster is unless I get a headache, and as long as it's forceful, intense and has good airtime I could really like this?
It's forceless, not intense, painful, and has literally no airtime. Like none at all.
Little did the 2016 Taylor know, This coaster would be turned into the best Roller Coaster in the world...
Mean Streak had very long lines when I first rode it in 1992.
Now I have never ridden this ride but according to the get to the point videos in the 1990's this didn't have trims and it looked insanely fast and exciting. I agree if they make it a bit smoother and get rid of the trims it would be awsome.
In my opinion I love it. I rode it in August on my road trip
Wouldn't it be cool if Six Flags Over Texas, the owner of the New Texas Giant, actually added a zero-g-roll to their RMC hybrid?
The OLD Texas Giant is one old wooden roller coaster I missed that I wish I had ridden. Since it's been RMC'd, I have no interest in it.
i love mean streak it is fun and i think its fine how it is and the roughness is fun to me
I know a great ride dinn has built! Timber wolf at worlds of fun
And mean streak used to have a big line in 1991
Which do you think is more rough: Corkscrew or Mean Streak?
+Brandon Perkins Thank you.
Corckscrew
Before they trimmed the drop the entire ride was all hell breaking loose and then accelerating the violence from there. Somehow it didn't hurt but I couldn't imagine how the trains weren't busting through the timbers. I especially liked when, after the brake run, the coaster went up into it's structure again and started getting faster and faster within the supports until the end where it needed a quarter mile of brakes at the end to stop the train. It was overwhelming and it made an impact. Then they trimmed the drop and the ride has been the walking dead since. I still like it's size though, and it's location.
I would say Coarkscrew is rougher then Mean Streak, but Nice Video Coaster Studios!
I enjoyed mean streak. I thought the air time was good. The only reason I rode was because it closed in a week. Me and my friend were almost standing up because airtime.
One of my favorites
It is a great ride
Meanstreak is a ride, which in my eyes, is just not finished yet. It needs a treatment sometime, and I am sure it will happen sometime. Besides that it looks great, the ride kinda sucks so I think GCI or RMC have there plans already completed, it is just the wait on cedar point to decide when to do something with that ride.
Love your channel but I disagree with you about Mean streak. Rode it 3x back in '95 and I absolutely HATED it. I still have flashbacks of those experiences - felt like I was thrown into a dryer and set on violent tumble dry.
I think an RMC makeover wouldn't be too bad, but I think what would be better would be if Gravity Group completely re-profiles it with airtime hills and more over banked turns. Maybe throw in a corkscrew like they did with Hades. Also, TIMBERLINERS.
You been on steel vengeance? Soooo good.
R.I.P. Mean Streak EST. 1991-2016 at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio USA 🇺🇲.
The Mean Streak is kinda like driving a forklift over railroad tracks....but it's awesome.
Yep RMC got it done with Steel Vengeance
Coaster Channel 1000 yep that is gonna be amazing
Way back then? Thanks Taylor.....
How old are you?
Can you review raptor?
If Mean Streak were revamped by a firm like RMC, I’d like to see it be resurrected it as a better wooden coaster rather than see it get the “iron horse” treatment. Cedar Point’s low on woodies, and it would be cool if MS maintained the charm of a wooden coaster while delivering a more impactful ride.
I'd still rather see an RMC. Cedar point doesn't need to have woodies, cedar point is based off having the best rides and record breaking coasters. If cedar point gets an RMC it might be one of the best if not the best RMC ever.
I wouldn't be interested at all in going to Cedar Point anymore. In fact, I'm not interested in most parks anymore. They're all full of steels coasters. And steel coasters mostly bore me.
well this didnt age well
@@thelis4u591 yeah
They did pull the trims after it’s retracking was done
Did I miss the final score?
+Syd Little no 1/10
I think that they will wait till 2020 to rmc it because they are having a big milestone coming up
10 years ago this was a decent coaster. It has really gotten rough since then. Id hate to see this go because this has a good layout and very good stats. Maybe it will get a GCI treatment. Its sad that cedar point, americas rock n roller coast, has two wooden roller coasters that in my opinion are not that great.
Steel Veangance will be awesome
I'm am going to miss it for some odd reason
My number 3 coaster at the park
+Schaefer
My number one coaster out of the 104 coasters i've ridden
Is that a joke
Ben French Not at all. I loved mean streak
The line for Rougarou, at least in my experience, has never been long or 'decent', and neither was the line for Mantis before it as the stand-up trains neared their retirement. Also, I do believe that Mean Streak's position in the park prior to Steel vengeance in part had to do with how dead it was. Cedar Point is my home park (I've been there at least over 30 times) and I still always had a hard time just finding the area to get to Mean Streak lol. Whereas the rest of the park kind of flows and it's easy to find the entrance to every ride (with the exception of some areas of FrontierTown), Mean Streak was not easy to stumble upon. But yes, the majority of its criticism still (and rightfully so) came from its ricketiness. However, with Steel Vengeance finally livening up the area again and with CP's renovations, I'm super excited to see how it's going to look! :)
Rougarou was a walk on when I went last year
who'da thunk it would turn into the best roller caoster to date thanks to rmc tho. goes to show how a layout can be insane and record-breaking at the time but totally falls flat compared to what it could be
I love Mean Streak. Maybe it's just me. :)
I honestly thought Hurler at Carowinds was rougher than this. At least on Mean Streak I didn't get a head ache so bad I had to go to the first aid station and get Tylenol
Hurler at Kings Dominion is worst of all
+PivotCoasterVideos I only rode the one at Carowinds. I will be at Kings Dominion this summer but I have no plans of riding Hurler
The Carowinds one is smooth in comparison, but I always ride every coaster every time I visit a park
+PivotCoasterVideos I do if it's a park I haven't been to before
1:40-1:48 LOL
Who is the dude in the front looking like he was passed out!! He was in another video the same way. 😁
Considering mean streaks line is very close the Mavericks the "back of the part excuse" don't work at all
Exactly, that's why i'll agree that that theory most likely doesn't have an impact.
+Coaster Studios Son of Beast vs. Mean Streak coaster fight? I know SOB is defunct but it would still be neat.
+Coaster Studios Mean streak is closing in September.
I thought Mean Streak was okay. My score of it is a 5/10, and here why. It has a good drop, it's fast, and the duration is long. It could be better. It was rough, but I have been on a rougher coaster. The trim breaks on the drop does take away the experience, though. Next time I go to Cedar Point, I'll still ride it.
I actually loved mean streak. But Steel Vengeance is so much better
Safe to say that RMC understood the assignment
I loved mean streak. I wish i could have ridden it one more time before they started tearing it up.
You call RMC tearing up?
I would.
Qoaster Stream, a less popular youtuber, saw an rmc crane outside of meanstreak
A good ride that Dinn build was The Beast
That wasn't built by dinn
Dinn did not build The BEAST. It was all done by Kings Island. They had their own building team. PTC supplied the trains
Charlie Dinn helped build it before the Dinn Cooperation was founded
