4/10 I can honestly say that this is the best wooden coaster I've ever been on but the only other big woodie I've ever been on was rattler @ SF Fiesta Texas. It's only the 2nd coaster that I've ever got nauseous on. Intensity: 7.5 - Will Gibson this ride totally sucks... one of the worst wooden coasters ever built, other than the hurricane at myrtle beach SC.... painful.... - bryan shepard WOW. An amazing ride, possibly the best in the world. Then again, I also love to get beat in the chest with a 120 pound sledge hammer for three minutes everyday. - Craig Calhoun By far the best wooden rollercoaster I have ever been on. I have rode the rattler at Fiesta Texas which was to smooth for me. Nobody probably agrees with me but I prefer rough woodies. I mean seriusly, i think that if a rollercoaster is a smooth it is not as scary, other than MILLenium force raptor, dragster mantis and poltergeist never mind, what im trying to say is that i like rough rollercoasters, i LOVE wooden coasters alot - Steven D I have been on this ride before and out of all of the wooden coasters ive ever been on this was the most thrilling.Its HUGE.today i rode it and could not wait to get off.it did not feel safe!! I loved the sharp turns way up high but the way it rode this time it felt like the car was going to jump the track! I dont think that i will ever ride it again unless I am assured that its not going to fly off of the track. - Ann Marie krystofek Sure the ride is rough and has NO airtime at all but the ride isn't horrible. The ride would probably be better with a Texas Giant makeover though. 6/10 - Bob Miller Rough, but manageable most of the time. I've had rides ranging from almost fun to miserably brutal and everything in between. It hasn't beat me to the point of no return yet, and there are certainly worse coasters out there. Stop by if you want the credit during midday, since it rarely gets a line due to its location as well as its reputation. - Jamie Bennish My daughter and I rode this ride once last year, and it was SO painful we refused to even try it again this year. Cedar Point should re-track this ride (like what Six Flags has done with the Texas Giant) or tear it down and replace it. While standing in line for Maverick, a group of us got into a discussion about how horrible Mean Streak is. Soon, everyone around was chiming in. Not one person out of about 25-30 people said they liked it. During our hour-long wait for Maverick, Mean Streak consistently had trains that were half-full or less in the middle of the day. That tells you all you need to know. - Roger S EXTREMELY rough, hence the name "Mean Streak" only rode once, don't ride if wait is longer than 30 minutes. - Justin Vuong 8 - Commendable. It's a little rough, but what a ride. Unlike some of the larger coasters whose smooth tracks lull you into a sense of security, Mean Streak terrifies you with every drop and turn. Very few coasters thrill me anymore, but this one packs a hell of a punch. If you want to avoid the chopping, don't keep your hands on the bar in front of you. Put your hands in the air and let the coaster throw you around. I find that substantially less painful. - Joshua Counsil This ride almost KILLED ME! the bumpiest thing in the world! if you have a bad back, neck, or head, STAY AWAY! - Carlo Mangiafreno 4 out of 10. When I rode Mean Streak, I was suprised by how rough it is. Probabuly the jerkiest coaster I have ever ridden. If there is more than a five minute wait, I wouldn't ride this one unless you are trying to ride all 17 coasters at Cedar Point. - Bradley Keith I didn't find this one as rough as others have said. Certainly not a smooth ride but not nearly as bad as some wooden coasters I have ridden. - Kris Peerman Honestly, this is a good ride. It is rough, but that is what is expected out of an old woodie. It's not as bad as some people say. You just gotta ride it like any other woodie, Lean forward and move with the turns. - Ethan Henderson I actually had a great time on this ride. Yes, it was a little rough, but what giant wooden coaster isn't? If you take it lightheartedly you'll enjoy the experience. My father and I shouted, "We're takin' a shakin'!" As we rode, laughing all the way. My teeth and lower back -were- a bit sore afterward, but it was no big deal. I would do it again for the laughs, if nothing else. - Beth Bickar More attraction and restaurant ratings:
