I wanna see some train photos before long! Wonder if the trains are complete yet.


If we build it, they will come.

While I'm also excited to see the trains, I would normally not expect to see them delivered until January. Did someone mention something about a timeline for such deliveries? I knew the track would be complete early, but not before the end of this season. It makes me wonder why they didn't keep Mean Streak around for another month or two.

We'll probably not see the trains until Winter Chill Out.

Because MS was an unpopular and expensive ride to operate.

Looks like the lift hill should be completed soon

It’s happening: the potentially best roller coaster in the world with the most elementary school derived name ever is getting topped out... potentially.

In regard to Steel Vengeance's name, I enjoyed seeing that the teenagers over at Reddit have adopted the nickname "SteVe" for the roller coaster


Tall and fast not so much upside down...

I love SteVe as a name for it, that’s what I’ll refer to it as.

Please... don't. :( Urumqi said "teenagers over at Reddit".

Poor "Steel Vengeance".

Once I ran into an enthusiast at Cedar Point and during our conversation he referred to Millie, Mavvy, Rappy, Wicky, Streaky, Mantie, until I finally said nope, gotta go.

I have heard odd nick names multiple times from many sources. Here are some forum safe-ish examples: Millennium Farce, Traumahawk, The Vomit Comet (Max Air), Mangaroutis, Slowkeeper, Valamen, Barfka, Windsqueaker, Blue Sleep, Corkpoo, Sky Yawn, Dragstar, Dragqueen, Top Thrill Loser, Draggiedowner, Top Thrill Fixer, Momster, Slingasm, The Erector Set (Dragster), Geminoodle, Gemihasbeen, Cedar creek are we done yet (Mine Ride), Demon Droppings, Cedar Point Alliteration Shores, and "You know, that ride that takes you way up in the air and lets you spin around in the car.." (Sky Ride)

Waid a minit... this is a smidge off-topic...

Has anybody said what that American flag on the "tophat" means? Usually it goes on the highest point of a ride.

I've read a few times that it's at the height of the original Mean Streak's lift hill apex... about 161'. But I do not recall reading anything "official" as to the reason for its placement.

Don't be ridiculous. Those aren't steel. ;)

I was thinking it was placed there because that was going to be the heights point of the ride for a while before they topped off the lift hill
