Fear the Four Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 The Blue Streak is Conneaut Lake Park’s signature attraction, but only one of many treasures the 1892 Park offers. Across from the Blue Streak sits the Tumble Bug, which holds the high distinction of being the OLDEST of only 2 remaining full-size rides of its kind still operating in the world. CLP’s beloved Hotel Conneaut, built in 1903, overlooks PA’s largest natural lake. The lakefront veranda and recently refreshed Crystal Ballroom provide unmatched charm and beauty. The reopening of the Blue Streak carries value beyond the thrills of its 77-ft. high, 2,900-ft. long structure. It signifies the preservation of a place where friends, fun, and family time are the priority. Inspectors have surveyed the ride and a plan of restoration has been made to include repairs on the trains, tracks, and structure. American Coaster Enthusiasts recognizes the Blue Streak as an ACE Rollercoaster Landmark; a designation reserved for rides of historic significance. Goals: Raise funds to proceed with restoration Replace timbers, realign track, restore trains Reopen coaster Support local economy by attracting more visitors to the area.
