Mean streak photo is no more.

That's funny. The on-ride photo I have is of me and my ex-girlfriend smiling. I don't find MS to be painful.

Honestly, some of you just don't know how to ride Meany. Yes, she's rough, but I like her that way.

We got a couple of really good rides over the weekend, even though they trimmed the first drop and on the mid course. The gold train seemed to be running the best.

The trims were really grabbing on Monday but the ride was still fairly smooth (as far as MS goes). Definitely wasn't as bad as some other rides I've had on it.

Thats sad, I mean I never bought my picture there, but I enjoyed looking at my picture after riding, I hope this isn't the start of them removing Mean Streak. I like that ride a lot, even thought it's a little bumpy, it's still has nice dips and turns. In my opinion you have to like a certain amount of bumpiness. There's two options for coasters, a little bumpy and very rough. I think Mean Streak follows under a little bumpy.

You shouldn't "Have to know" how to ride a coaster. My whole reason behind riding coasters is to "Let go", not "Assume Mean Streak riding postion."

The enjoyment I receive from riding coasters, is greatly diminished when I have to think during a ride such as Mean Streak.

People complain so much about how rough it is but I love it, I don't find it overly rough at all, I love it and I really regret not buying my picture on it last season.

NNOOOOO!!! I had some of the best pictures on MS last yr.... watta bummer.........

I find just keeping your back off the seat helps alot. I noticed the photo booth being closed alot last fall for some reason.

After checking, I've learned that Mean Streak Photo will remain, but only open when attendance is high enough to warrant it.

Well, I doubt I'll ever be there when it is busy enough. I guess my photo from the early 90's will just have to do. Back when the photos were about the size of a 3x5 card instead of an 8x10. Classic photos.

*Crosses fingers and hopes it's open May 23rd*

Wow, is this what happens every time a thread mentions Mean Streak?? (I'm kinda new here)

Oh well, my two cents. I think that MS is a great ride, it provides an excitement that only (I think) TTD, MF, and Mantis can give you. It's a feeling of straining the limits of your physical body, and to me it's something that can ONLY be experienced at a place like Cedar Point. Plus, it's still like #5 or something on the list of tallest/fastest wooden coasters, right?

It has nothing to do with "how to ride it". I guess I've gotten really spoiled traveling to other parks and riding GOOD wooden coasters, like Raven, Legend, Timbers, and Cornball to name a few, that are smooth, fast, and give you a good ride the whole way through, but then I come back to CP and ride Mean Streak and get a slow, bumpy, boring ride.

They should have an unload station at the midcourse brakes. The ride is practically over at that point anyways. ;)

Why would I want to look at myself frowning in pain... Also, Why do they have to slow the train down on the drop? I've been riding this ride since its opening and had all kinds of back, neck, and butt problems...:)

The last two trip I made last season the on-ride photo booth was closed most of the day anyway.

Sounds like this isn't the first year of Mean Streak Photo only opening on busy days.

Probably just the first time they didn't bother with it on Opening Day, hence all the questions about it.
