Steel Vengeance

2018

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Steel Vengeance opened in 2018 as the world's first Hyper Hybrid Roller Coaster. Steel Vengeance reuses the structure of the former Mean Streak. Steel Vengeance is a great ride!

In 2010, Cedar Point opened Shoot the Rapids. Shoot the Rapids was a flume ride that sent riders around on a journey that gave the longest ride in the park. In 2011, Cedar Point once again sent riders over 300 feet with the new WindSeeker. When WindSeeker opened in 2011, it was the tallest ride of its kind. After years of experience, long time CEO Dick Kinzel retired in January 2012 and was replaced by Matt Ouimet. Matt was a former Disney executive. In 2012, Dinosaurs Alive! opened as a new themed experience. After a 5 year drought with no new roller coaster, GateKeeper started flying over the new front gate plaza in 2013. In 2014, the Gemini Midway was refreshed and new rides arrived. In 2015, the Stand Up Roller Coaster Mantis was converted to the floorless style Rougarou. Valravn began diving into the middle of the park in 2016. In 2017, Soak City Waterpark was re-branded to become Cedar Point Shores Waterpark. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
With all the new things that were opening in the previous years to 2018, Cedar Point would turn to one of its previous coasters to expand on that idea.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
On May 11, 1991, Mean Streak became the first wooden roller coaster added to Cedar Point in 27 years. Mean Streak was the tallest and fastest wooden roller coaster in the world in 1991.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
When Mean Streak opened, it was an okay ride. It was much smoother then it would be later. Even though the ride was an okay ride, it didn't raise attendance like prior roller coasters and attractions did.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
While Mean Streak did have its fans, it never gained popularity. Mean Streak quickly became the roughest and most hated ride in the park. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
On August 1, 2016, Cedar Point Announced that Mean Streak was getting it's Axe on September 16.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
On September 16, 2016, Cedar Point had a funeral for Mean Streak. Just like that, the ride closed forever.
Picture
Picture
Mean Streak would be laid to rest in Cedar Point's ride cemetery on the Main Midway.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
After Mean Streak closed, crews began to remove the wooden track. However, speculation on what was going to happen with the ride started to arise. For some odd reason, they forgot to take the structure itself down.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
In mid-October 2016, new mysterious steel parts showed up on site. At that point, it was confirmed that Mean Streak would be transformed into a new masterpiece by Rocky Mountain Construction of Idaho!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
On April 1, 2017, Cedar Point released a video on Twitter called ''They're Coming'. This was the first time since the ride closed that anything about Mean Streak was mentioned by Cedar Point. The video showed that new dark red track had been installed on the ride.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
When Cedar Point opened in May 2017, there was new track on a lot of the ride. It was clear that Cedar Point was in the process of building a new roller coaster!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
As the season went on, you could watch Rocky Mountain Construction as they built the new ride.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
In June and July, two more teasers were released. In late July, press kits were sent out announcing that details were being released on August 16, 2017.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
On August 16, 2017, Cedar Point announced that they were transforming the former Mean Streak into the new Steel Vengeance, a record-breaking roller coaster.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
After the ride was announced, construction crews worked to bring the record-breaking ride to life!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The ride became a full circuit in October 2017. As the winter went on, crews worked hard to make sure everything was done as needed for the park to open.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Steel Vengeance opened to the public on Saturday, May 5, 2018, as Cedar Point's 18th roller coaster!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Steel Vengeance opened to huge crowds of people that instantly fell in love with the roller coaster!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Steel Vengeance is located at the very back of the park. To access the ride you have to cross the train tracks of the Cedar Point and Lake Erie Railroad. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Steel Vengeance is a very beautiful roller coaster that stands 205 feet above Frontier Town!

Theming

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Steel Vengeance is themed as a roller coaster that 3 outlaws have built to out do Maverick and to take over Frontier Town.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
While waiting in line, guests go past signs and posters that tell the backstory of the ride. These signs give details of Frontier Town and what kind of people run the town. In July 2018, Cedar Point put a new policy in place prohibiting cell phones from being in the line for Steel Vengeance.
Picture
Picture
Picture

The new midway benches for Steel Vengeance are really cool. They look as if they are stacks of wood that is getting ready to be put on the ride!

Ride Experience

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Steel Vengeance is an airtime-packed roller coaster. It has more airtime than any other roller coaster on earth! Riders are out of their seats for 27.2 seconds!!!!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Steel Vengeance was the first Hyper-Hybrid roller coaster ever built! The term Hyper coaster was coined by Cedar Point in 1989 when the park built Magnum XL-200!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Steel Vengeance sends riders upside down a total of 4 times! Steel Vengeance has more inversions than any other hybrid roller coaster on the planet!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
At the bottom of the first drop Steel Vengeance goes through the world's fastest airtime hill at 74 MPH!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Steel Vengeance has some very unique elements. The ride features the above outwards banked hill. This is unique because roller coasters normally bank on the inside of a turn. The feeling is really cool and sends riders out of their seats with a great feeling of airtime!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Steel Vengeance is an amazing ride! The ride just blows riders out of their seats! It is been even better than expected!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Steel Vengeance starts out being like any other Hyper Coaster. The elements are spread out and very long. The ride ends with the train twisting and turning under the structure. You don't know which way is up!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Steel Vengeance is a great ride! It always has a very long line.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture

​Steel Vengeance was even better than expected! Guests immediately fell in love with the new roller coaster.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Steel Vengeance is a very popular roller coaster. Many people love this ride. It will be interesting to see how Cedar Point outdoes Steel Vengeance with their next roller coaster.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
In 2018, Steel Vengeance was named best ride for the year by Amusement Today. The ride was also named the 3rd best roller coaster in the world, losing only to Carowinds's Fury 325 and the park's own Millennium Force.
Picture
Picture
Picture
After Steel Vengeance, opened in 2018, Cedar Point would add: Forbidden Frontier on Adventure Island (2019), Cedar Point's 150th Anniversary Celebration (2021), and The Boardwalk (2023). These new attractions have all helped to diversify Cedar Point's collection of attractions.
