Mean Streak?

How is Mean Streak running? Wait times?

I'll never forget one time I sat in the front row of MS and was the only one on the train! Was pretty eerie haha.

MS is currently running as well as it did in January.

Huh?

Also - by the looks of the camera Magnum was running three trains today.

^ That is correct

..wasn't running good in January, and it's not running good now. it's painful watching those PTCs lumber around the course. Perfect location for the next 200+ footer.

Or 300+ footer : )

It wasn't running at all in January. Not sure if that's supposed to be the point and an attempt at sarcasm or not.

I can also think of a lot of cool coasters/rides/attractions Cedar Point could benefit from that have nothing to do with being 200 feet tall.

MS was open as of 11am today.

People are focused on Mean Streak as a possible RMC rebuild, but what about Gemini? Even though Gemini has steel track, the wood structure can certainly be adapted to use the RMC track. Gemini's numbers aren't what they once were and a new RMC dueling/racing coaster would be highly marketable, just like Colossus.

No!!! Leave Gemini alone!!

Mean streak had over a half hour wait today. Guess it's able to draw a crowd even when it's not one of the "big" days. Oh and btw, corkscrew and mine ride were walk ons.

No sarcasm needed, the only good thing about MS is that the structure is awesome to look at, so it is just as good in January (if not better due to possible snow) than it is now.

Rider numbers today would seem to disagree with you.

And you have these rider numbers? What were they, how many people ride MS and how many rode Gemini today?

No obviously I don't. But mean streak was a half hour wait much of today while other coasters such as corkscrew and mine ride had no wait. It's called empirical evidence. All I'm saying is there are people who like mean streak and enjoy riding it. The great thing about CP is there is something for everyone. You don't like mean streak? Fine. No one is forcing you to ride it. So quit complaining about it. Go ride the other rides that you do like. Not every ride has to be everyone's favorite.

Also for those saying mean streak running two trains is an indication of anything, Gemini was only running one side most of this weekend. Hmmm? Lol

Rode mean streak today, about half way through the long straight part of the que on the left side i noticed a wooden marker sticking about 6 inches out of the ground. It had a pink ribbon tied around it with RMC written on it. Rmc was wrote on the wooden marker, resembled a paint stirrer shoved in the ground. This area of the que was enclosed, so only an employee or surveyer would have access to get to this spot. Also, if there would not have been a line and i did not stop in that exact spot, i would have never noticed it. Can post a pic but don't know how.

You know that someone is just messing with you, don't you?

I waited less for Fury 325 today, than I have for MS some times. Better tear down Fury 325 and put up Fury 425 so people actually ride.

Fury has a ridiculous capacity. When I went last year they were pushing trains out at about a 30 second interval.

That seems a little extreme. With three train operation and a coaster that I believe does not have a midcourse block, I don't think 30 seconds is possible for the previous train to even clear the lift.
