Mean Streak- Redone

Don't hold your breath on that one.

Yeah it'll be relocated to Dorney or MA before that happens.

Lol MS will not be relocated anywhere.

How is MS running this year anyhow?

In a word...rough.

Yeah, it's too bad.
I just don't see why they wouldn't. If they truely listened to the guests about the Mantis experience and changed it because of the numerous complaints, then it seems obvious that they would focus on changing MS in the next few years. I feel that between Mantis and MS, MS was the most plausible candidate for transformation, and that the park would get the most ROI for it. Not to mention taking its popularity through the roof and I don't get the sense that that happened for Rougarou. I'm sure it is much better, but from what I hear it is not that different. An Iron Horsing of MS would be a much more noticeable change.

I think you underestimate the popularity of the Rougarou transformation. It's only a few short weeks into the season and it's definitely generated quite a buzz. Lines are always shorter this time of year. It's been no shorter or longer than the other B&M rides in the park.

I'm sure it much more popular, especially among the GP. And I'm sure I will enjoy the ride experience much more. However, I have heard very mixed opinions of it from much more enjoyable to nothing has changed. I will hold my judgement until I actually ride it, but I still hold the opinion that an Iron Horsing of MS would be a much more noticeable and popular transformation.
Never did I say that Rougarou was not popular or a mistake. It was a change that needed to happen.

I consider myself more "GeePee" than "enthusiast" so, I can tell you from my POV - it's a definite improvement. From every one of my friends I've heard from, it's an improvement and way overdue.

The people who complain about it are really, really nitpicking - and that's just uncalled for.

I have actually heard people say that they would have preferred that it remain Mantis. I think that is absolutely insane, but to each his own. I am stoked to ride it.

I always liked Mantis, but that is because the trains were comfortable for me and the layout was exciting. Many more people will like Rougarou because the floorless trains are comfortable to many more people.

Rougarou is Mantis sitting down, I don't know why anyone was expecting anything different and expecting something to be changed. It's a fast, thrilling ride with a great layout, now with more comfortable seating. I thought the stand up trains gave a more intense ride because of the riding position, but the floorless trains are actually more fun because the ride now is all about the various elements instead of withstanding the G forces while standing. I think a lot of people will agree that Rougarou is a lot of fun and the ride will maintain its popularity just like Raptor has.

All i want is a GCI. Ill even take a clone of Gold Striker. Its almost as if cedar point will be pressured into changing mean streak.

And how exactly will they "be pressured"? By posters on this unofficial fan site? If their ridership numbers dwindle, they don't have to change it, they could just as easily tear it down and put something new in it's place.

Seeing rides like Twisted Colossus and Wicked Cyclone almost make a Redo of MS seem stupidly obvious. I wonder if they are under contract with Six Flags. The only one outside of a SF park I know of is Outlaw Run. They shouldn't even need "pressure" to make a decision like this.

My thoughts exactly. There are two if you count Wildfire which isn't complete.

For me, I was never interested in learning Mantis' layout when it was a standup because I wasn't interested in riding it. Now, I'm interested in riding any time. A better ride is more interesting.

I cannot see a Refurb-arou of MS being done soon or at least as the featured 'New for 2016 or 2017' ride unless CP is looking for Refurb Capital of The World title. It would just get thrown out there and unless something major went along with it, it would stick.

In addition, that section of the park looks pretty dang good already appearance wise and more attention could be spent other places sooner.

But hopefully three years or so after a couple of other featured attractions are added.

If MS were to get an iron horse treatment, I wouldn't expect it to come until after 2020.

2019 would be the best year for it IMO, especially if they are planning something big for 2020 wether it is a coaster or not.

The Mantis refurbishment job gives me hope for MS. While MS seemed to be slightly faster this past weekend than it's been when I've ridden it the past several years, I just can't see why they wouldn't transform such a beautiful, massive structure into something that will draw people to it more than once per year. I, personally don't see it for another 3 years, unless the newly cleared land is not used for another coaster, then it would probably come sooner. Based on what I've seen from RMC, I would prefer them re-doing MS to building a new dive coaster. I think a steel Mean Streak would be a much more exciting.

Sorry folks, you have to go to Six Flags if you want to ride an RMC. The beagle out front should have told ya.
