    Wow wee wow wow. The mean streak used to be a ride. One of the worst wooden roller coasters ever. Like don't get on it unless you wanna be in pain afterwards. I think it was one of the oldest wooden coasters???! Well they dismantled it back in like? 2017? And built a metal coaster throughout it. This was one of the most fun roller coasters ever. How smooth and badass It's become. As an employee called it, this is mean steaks older brother. Can't wait to go back and get on it again.

    Finally made it

    No need to rehash all the great aspects of this world class roller coaster that tops most enthusiasts' lists. You know that already. One positive aspect that nobody seems to mention is that the crowd waiting in the queue tends to be a very offbeat, interesting sort of crowd. I went on SteVe literally 10X during my visit, and each time I found stimulating people to chat with. You do not get that with every roller coaster. Now onto the disadvantages of this roller coaster that nobody seems to mention. 1) The restraints are heavy and uncomfortable. It is hard to push them down and back up. The restraints also have shin guards, which I find detracts from the ride. Enthusiasts will complain about the restraints Skyrush has, but I have found those to be much freer actually. 2) There is no grab bar. Almost all roller coasters have a grab bar, which attaches to the seat in front of you, and you can hold onto it during rough moments. Steel Vengeance has none. Everyone knows that there are so many wild moments on this ride, so it would be nice to have the option, even if you chose not to use it. It hurts your back when you can't hold on. Most people don't seem to mind, however. 3) The seats are designed in a way that you can bang you elbow. The seat's contour curves around you, and then there is a hard flat surface over your elbows . . . especially if you have your hands up because there is no grab bar. I hit my elbow a few times, and I would say that is a design flaw. But please don't get me wrong. SteVe is one of the very top roller coasters in the world. But I just felt the need to point out disadvantages of the coaster that others fail to see because they are so euphoric about it. It is not my personal favorite.

    Just a Vengeance of a coaster!

    The worlds longest tallest and fastest hyper hybrid coaster try saying that fast a few times and you'll be in a tongue twister just as much as you would be twisting with each amazing ride on Steel Vengeance! The first time I set eyes on this beast I was like wow this is a huge structure of epic proportions but it wasn't until I actually rode it that I was like this is totally an amazing ride time and time again! This is another RMC refurbishment of a wooden coaster gone steel to make it whole again as it's a great way to reuse the structure to make a whole new ride out of it with a whole different way to enjoy! The line can get super long as this is a very popular ride so I'd definitely recommend hitting it in the beginning of the day so you get a chance to ride it as you really don't wanna miss this coaster because it's incredible! Overall this is an amazing ride with a long track it's super fast and just kinda crazy with a Vengeance but needless to say this is one of my favorites on any given Cedar Point day!

    Wow. We had hopes of getting early access as we stayed at Breakers on-property, but a mechanical issue kept it closed until noon. So, we had a 2 hour + wait in line. But it was well worth it! Again, wow! This is unlike any roller coaster I've ridden. A true non-stop thrill. I think I spent more time above my seat than in it. Thankfully, the leg braces and lap restraint really kept me secure. Being slightly taller than average (6'2"), I felt compelled to duck during some of the tight spirals inside the complicated wooden infrastructure.... although it wasn't really necessary-- it was my visceral reaction to do so! Inversions! Air time! And... fast. This was an awesome experience. Don't let a long wait dissuade you from this. Wow.

    The best roller coaster at cedar point! I never imagined I could enjoy a roller coaster that wasn't ridiculously tall. I don't even know where to begin... this roller coaster has a lot of "twisting, turning and RICOCHETING." The air time is the most I've ever experienced on a roller coaster. The twirls and turns are INSANE! You feel like you're falling out of your seat the entire time (but you feel safe because of the harnesses) and it's a super long ride. My favorite roller coaster of all time. If you go to cedar point I would implore you to try to get to this roller coaster AS SOON AS IT OPENS! The lines are insane all day so try your best to ride it as soon as the park opens. BEST. ROLLER COASTER. EVER. P.S. I've been on it at least 30 times.

    Time to update my review from 2 years ago. I ended up going here 6 times this go around 2 half…read moredays and 4 full days as this is my favorite amusement park I have visited as there is no place on earth. The only downside is I wish they had more peanuts theming and the peanuts show. They do the meet and greet which is great. We did ended up staying at the Cedar Point Express Hotel which is 5 minutes drive away. I wish they did have a path way for guests to walk, but that would be difficult the way the roads are setup. We arrive usually an hour before the park opens at 8am. There is a perk for Prestige and Gold Pass holders that you can get into the park 1 hour early. Parking lot is open 24/7 as we tend to head to the park early at around 8am to wait in line. Then at 8:40am, security comes in and opens up the line and then proceed to wait at the gate. Prestige holders pass line is on the way right side. Sometimes they have only 1 operator and sometimes 2. At 8:55am they usually let people in and during the national anthem. I wish they would let people in after as I want to stop and salute the flag, but that means I can not get into line quickly. The rides they have opened early were 1. Millennium Force (This one was closed on 3 of my visits) this is one of my favorite rides 2. Top Thrill 2 3. Gatekeeper 4. Siren's Curse I usually headed towards Siren's Curse first as that is usually a walk on and they have lockers to use for free and then head to Top Thrill 2 and then the hour is up. I did not ride Top Thrill 2 last time. For Top Thrill 2, you need to get a locker as you can not have anything in your pockets. They have an app you can use and the only thing is you have to remember the locker number and after waiting in line you might forget. Waiting in line for Top Thrill 2 can be boring as you see the same commercials and pick which car wins or find the trophy. I wish they had cartoons like they have at Six Flags. Top Thrill 2 the ride does break down quite a bit. Usually the downtime is 30 minutes to an hour. I waited 2 hours one time to ride. Here is my advice ride this during the early time as fast lane riders can not ride. They tend to do one for fast lane to let people ride and another train for regular queue. Besides the 2 rides, the park has not changed much over the 2 years. The food is the same, but I do like they have more soda fountains. Steel Vengeance line tends to be much shorter now. I remember waiting 90 minutes to do a ride, but now I only wait 30 minutes and I was able to ride this ride multiple times during the day and made a lot of fun. Once I got off the ride, I just went back in line without retrieving my items and was able to do this for an hour. Maverick tends to have a very long line and I only waited in the queue one time. But expect to have 90 minutes. The park only has 1 water ride and that is Thunder Canyon which is in the back of the park and will get you soaked. I ended up riding this 4 to 5 times per visit as the wait time were only 10 minutes. You can go bare footed if you want. They go rid of the other water ride. Hopefully in the future Cedar Point can get another water ride. Food wise I still like going to the Farm house near Maverick and the Beach Pavilion in were Wicked Twister used to be. The fast lane did work for us. The only challenge is the ability to use it on Top Thrill 2 as you need to get a locker. I wonder if you can use it. My wife said the watch might work or get a paper printer of the QR code of the pass might work. I will probably try it next time. If I have to change the park, this is what I would do. Get rid of the kiddy kingdom in front of the park as I believe it is doing nothing much. I see the place is not busy and really dead. Looks like a bunch of carnival rides. Redo the bathrooms near the arcade, they are old and outdated. Have another water ride and have more shade within especially with Siren's Curse. I never waited in the regular queue, but Overall, I had an enjoyable experience here. and still my favorite theme park.

The life guards were very attentive. We got the upgraded Deluxe Cabana and it turned out to be a great idea when an impromptu rainstorm rolled in. It included some really nice, embroidered towels as souvenirs. The food choices were sparse and exorbitantly expensive, just like inside Cedar Point, but getting the food pass at Shores would limit you mostly to pizza, Cuban sandwich, and a taco. Several of the slides were out of commission which is really the reason for the 3/5 score here.

So, if you either live close by or you have purchases a season pass for the year, this is a great place to come and cool off for the summer. I could see living nearby and buying a pass every year if I had small kids or a group of friends to hang out with, especially when the season pass is $99. Then coming here even twice would pay for itself. Since for the first time ever, we have a season pass, I would like to come back and relax at least one more time. But, if you are just coming here for the day without a season pass, it is not worth it at all. Everything is very old and not well taken care of. Everything is also covered in bird poop, and I literally mean everything. You could have thought they would have cleaned up for opening day, but nope! And you would have thought the rain would have gotten the poop off of literally every surface, but nope. This is a tiny place for the money compared to other waterparks that ask for similar entry fees. The prices for the food is high and when you ask the workers questions they do not even know the answers. I asked where the changing room was to get in and out of bathing suits, they did not know. Plus the lockers are not even near the changing rooms at all. Not very convenient to a point where a worker agreed it was not set up in a customer friendly manner. A lot of the rides were breaking or not open. The lazy river was slimy and very dirty. The entire place was a bit dirty, and again, it was opening day. f Plus there were a million bugs. I think I ate 15 just trying to climb up a slide with my poop covered tube. Then I flipped at the bottom of a slide and went under, and the lifeguard just watched me. I have been to many other places nearby. If you have the money, I would recommend just going to Kalahari if you want a waterpark. I liked Great Wolf and even Castaway Bay better. If you have a lot of money, I would recommend Volcano Bay or the Disney World Orlando waterparks over this one.

    Greg's Coaster Collection: Ride #2 - Maverick Category:…read moreThrill Coaster | Rating: 5/5 | Best For: Coaster Enthusiasts & Adventure Seekers | Wait Time: Maverick is hands down one of my favorite coasters at Cedar Point. It's got this wild, untamed wilderness vibe that perfectly fits its name. The first lift hill leads into a jaw-dropping 95-degree drop that instantly wakes you up, followed by crazy, whip-fast turns that keep your heart racing the entire ride. The sleek design, bold colors, and overall atmosphere make it feel like you're on a roller coaster adventure through the backcountry. One of my favorite moments is the unexpected launch underneath the station that shoots you toward the water section -- it's a rush like no other. Like Millennium Force, Maverick's iconic silhouette is visible from the road as you approach the park, a beacon of thrills calling you in. Ride Stats: 4,450 feet of track * 70 mph top speed * 95-degree drop * 2 minutes 30 seconds ride time Best Seat: Front row for pure speed, back row for maximum airtime Pro Tip: Avoid the midday crowds -- rope drop or the last ride of the night means way less waiting. Photo-Worthy? Absolutely, especially near the first drop and water section. Personal Note: This coaster quickly became my favorite at Cedar Point for its unique mix of wild design and intense thrills. Every ride feels like a new adventure, and that launch under the station still gets me every time.

It's fast, it's compact, and if you've eaten recently, you might regret the ride -- those inversions pack a punch! It's not the scariest coaster in the park by any means, but it's definitely not for the faint of heart either. Plus, there's something fun about walking underneath as the trains zip overhead -- classic Cedar Point vibe right there. It's a quick ride and definitely less popular than it was back in the day, but still worth a spin if you want a taste of coaster history. Ride Stats: 2,200 feet of track * 48 mph top speed * 85-foot drop * 1 minute 40 seconds ride time Best Seat: Front row for smoother inversions, back row for extra speed Pro Tip: Best for a quick thrill when lines are short. Photo-Worthy? Only if you like shots of blue and white blur! Personal Note: Corkscrew might not be my top pick, but it's a classic that every Cedar Point fan should experience -- a nice throwback to the park's early thrill days.

It's one of the park's most beloved attractions and a true fan favorite. Nothing beats the thrill of racing head-to-head against your friends on the dual red and blue tracks -- and the signature "Can I get a high five?" moment as you zip side-by-side is pure adrenaline and fun. Gemini's classic wooden coaster feel packs a punch with its speed and smoothness, proving that old-school designs still hold their own in a park filled with giants. This coaster has been a park staple forever, and honestly, I hope they never get rid of it. Ride Stats: 3,264 feet of track (each side) * 60 mph top speed * 70-foot drop * 2 minutes ride time Best Seat: Back seats for extra airtime and speed Pro Tip: Ride during parades or midday for shorter lines. Photo-Worthy? Yes, especially during the head-to-head races. Personal Note: Gemini is the perfect mix of nostalgia, competition, and fun. Nothing beats the rush of racing friends and trying to snag that high five mid-ride!
