Mean streak photo is no more.

I was just told by a freind that works in one of the on ride photo booths, that mean streaks on ride photo is being removed because of slow sales.

Who wants to be seen riding that thing, anyway?

Ahh that makes me soo sad. I have so many on-ride photos from that ride.

Aww, that's too bad. My friends and I have some great "posed" pics from that ride. But yeah, I can see how that would make sense. The last few times I was at the park, it was a walk-on all day.

It has nothing to do with a walk-on and more to do with the fact that they're paying at least 1 if not 2 people to staff the booth all day, and not making that money up in sales.

If no one's riding it, no one's buying pictures of it. Not to mention that it's really not all that great of a ride.

I noticed that windows were shut, but I didn't realize that they were going to be selling them anymore. They should probably take the camera down then....

Too bad, I never bought it.

Umm, Mean Streak is one of the greatest rides in the park, in my opinion.

:O Shame on you MrScott!

When is it being removed? Are they going to be selling them at all this season? Because I planned on buying one when I go on May 23. I agree with cedarpointlover, I love Mean Streak and I wanted to buy an on ride photo! I have one from MF, TTD, Raptor, and 2 from Magnum and I wanted to complete my collection this year with Mantis and Mean Streak. I knew I should have bought one last year.

Perhaps I was a bit harsh. I still do ride it--once a year. And tis a beautiful sight to behold...especially at night.

Usually the ride isn't too bad when it first opens for the season. With that in mind, I rode and probably had one of the worst rides that I can remember on it this past Sunday. There's a difference between wooden roughness and all out painful chaos. That will definitely be my one and only ride for the year. As far as the photos go, I don't know why anyone would want to buy a picture of yourself in agony on that thing.

I love mean streak. We really analyze rides to much, i think its great, its out of control, fast, and a walk on. Plus its the best looking ride in the park.

I wondered why it was completely closed opening day, I thought maybe there was just something wrong with it.

They close that photo booth periodically during the year. I remembered it being closed a few times last season. It usually has to do with staffing issues, because not everyone has processed in yet this season. Mean Streak photo booth is not a high priority according to CP staffing i guess.

I rode in the front seat today and it was probably one of the smoothest rides I've ever had on it. Same goes for Mantis for some odd reason. I usually find that ride incredibly uncomfortable but I was actually enjoying myself on it for once instead of wondering why I'm enduring the pain of riding it.

On Sunday I thought I was going through a boulder-field on my bike. It was miserable. Even my 14 year-old shock body couldn't handle the roughness.

From what I had heard Mean Streak Photo may open up during the busy summer months but i'm not sure about that.

Poor Mean Streak Photo. Hopefully buisness and staffing will allow its shutters to open sometime this season.

Awww that sucks. We rode it on opening day at like 9:30 or sometime late, and we just figured it was closed for the day. I remember, Mean Streak was my first ever "big" coaster, I still love it. Only have one photo though...

Who wants a photo of themself grimacing in pain?
