flightoffear1996 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I think Blue Streak takes the cake but they are all very close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Blue Streak. I agree w/ Cedarpointer that it's a hidden gem... and one that I only recently discovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGirlFor500 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Blue Streak is better in my opinion. While the ride doesnt offer the EXACT same experience, due to the ride vehicle updates, the track experience is still identical after many years of operations. Being Cedar Points oldest operating coaster, it still provides a fun coaster while relaxing from all the long lines other coasters may maintain (such as Maverick, who always has a two hour wait with 5 people in the park). Blur streak has 9 hills and is consistent with the amount of airtime you get. While it might not be the best starter roller coaster for younger children, the same does not apply to adults. Its a great coaster that gives you the thrill of the ride without going too high or having inversions like other "starter friendly" coasters such as Magnum XL-200 or Corkscrew. It is definitely a classic and one of my favorites in the park, so it will undoubtedly be getting my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Where would you rank either side of The Racer with Blue Streak? I haven't been able to ride Blue Streak yet, but Red Racer is above Blue Racer for me. Welcome to KIC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly smoother ride and wins more often than not (not that winning matters ) Blue has good views of Orion, but not as smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjniehaus Posted Friday at 02:17 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:17 PM Blue Racer: historically it won more often when I was at the park because the trim doesn't hit as hard. However the retracking I think has slowed it down a bit until it wears in the new wood. So right now red is definitely running better. However, over the years blue has been consistently the better ride for me. Faster on the return and the views of Orion enhanced the previously boring views. Blue Streak can be super rough depending where you sit. It feels like it wants to kill you. Small but mighty. My biggest beef with blue streak is people act like it's a good ride and not that rough (when in fact it beats the heck out of you in some seats). These same people were the ones who said Mean Streak was too rough and I personally never thought mean streak was bad during any of my rides in 2013 or 2016. I actually still have mean Streak in my top 10 woodies because I thought it had an interesting layout despite not having the best airtime. Regardless, all the blue streak lovers I've met seemed to be the reason Mean Streak got the RMC treatment because all they did was criticize it for roughness and lack of airtime. So naturally considering I was a mean streak fan, I am not a blue streak fan. While steel vengeance is great, I'd still prefer to ride mean streak 10x in 90min vs riding SteVe once in that same window of time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
