Blue Streak

Roller coaster
Minimum height to ride: 48 inches

About Blue Streak

The oldest coaster at Cedar Point, this is a wooden classic. Even though it doesn't have the mega height or mega elements that many other coasters at Cedar Point have, it does have lots and lots of airtime and an old-school, out of control feeling that most modern day coasters just don't seem to have these days.

An oldie, but a definite goodie that falls in my top 5 coasters. This little wooden coaster packs a ton of airtime, something I can't get enough of. The ride can be a little rough at times, but nothing compared to Mean Streak. A definite must-ride that is often a walk-on later in the day. - Erin B

Can be rough and throws you way out of you seat. For being very old it sends you over the hills extremely fast. Remember to lean forward a little while riding it. Lines are normally short 10 minutes at the max. - Alex Gamso

Blue Streak is the oldest coaster in the park but that doesn't stop this one from delivering the most of the thrill. Blue Streak is much better than Mean Streak. It's extremely fun yet it's not painful. The amount of airtime is also extremely great, much more than Mean Streak, actually. I would recommend this coaster for those who want to go on some more thrilling rides, yet can't handle Magnum XL-200 or Gemini. - Adriel Tjokrosaputro

I thought it was pretty good. I'm not one for woodies but it was okay. It gave me a bit of a sore neck, but most woodies will make you sore. - Amber Crosser

The biggest waste of time ever. At the beginning of the queue it says a 3 hour wait maximum. Well, that should say 6 hours. Half way through was a 3 hour wait. And after the long wait you get to go on the roughest, bumpiest, most uncomfortable woodie ever. I got off the ride with a horrible head ache and a bruised knee. - Michael Berger

So called "classic"...I disagree.Just old and rickety. - Allan Birmantas

Good old fashioned 45 year old wooden roller coaster. Very rough feeling, got a little banged up on it, but still a fun ride anyway. Thrill factor for me: 3 out of 5. - Carrie Wehlage

This coaster may look small, but the results are big. It is fun for all ages. - Josh Wadkins
