National Roller Coaster Day was huge for Cedar Fair and Cedar Point especially. For nearly the past year, Cedar Point has been working on a brand new coaster for 2018. The coaster takes the place of the wooden classic Mean Streak, and goes in a completely new direction for the park.
Outcasts Jackson “Blackjack” Chamberlain, Chess “Wild One” Watkins and Wyatt “Digger” Dempsey have returned to FrontierTown to right the wrongs done to them and their fellow FrontierTown Folk. To wreak their vengeance, the three have brought a new type of metal monstrosity, so big it’s in a field all it’s own. Meet Steel Vengeance, the world’s first hyper-hybrid steel on wood coaster. The new coaster will push the limits of what hybrid coasters can do, and will take the height of the former Mean Streak to 205 feet tall.
Here’s the complete rundown on Steel Vengeance:
