It was AWESOME! Let us just begin by a reverent nod to the true Blue Streak. Fifty years and still packing a punch! Surprisingly smooth for a wooden rollercoaster but one where your stomach will catch up with you at the end of the hills and twists. Funny how the kids can go on the big,modern coasters without blinking an eye, but are are practically praying while ascending the first hill of the Blue Streak. A little coaster with a big bang for your buck!
Quick reviews of some of the other coasters we sampled:
Millennium Force: High. Fast. That from our man of few words. And it pretty much sums it up.
Raptor: Smooth hanging coaster with some crazy turns.
Iron Dragon: It sways! Another smooth coaster and a good in between measure but a little vanilla in my opinion.
Mantis: Stand up coaster which is pretty intense. There's a warning at the beginning to remove your earrings. I guess it is that or lose your earlobes.
Mean Streak: Oh those golden ladies! Another phenomenal wooden coaster with big hills, thrills and yes-jolts.
Corkscrew: Don't bother unless you have an appointment with a masseuse scheduled for after the ride!

Cedar Point still has some smaller rides (hurrah for Cedar Downs-- the best racing merry-go-round ever!) but one can't help but to think these rides are pushed aside for the ginormous thrill rides that just keep getting bigger and more intense but lack that certain je ne sais quoi.
Frontier town in the back of the park still is a fun mini destination within the park with lots of fun water rides (You will get wet!), themed rides, and all around fun feel. It takes one back a few years in more way than one!!
