Blue Streak

Blue Streak

The Blue Streak is the oldest operating roller coaster at Cedar Point. But make no mistake about it - this "woodie" still provides a great ride! After cresting the 78-foot-tall lift hill, riders experience more than a half-dozen hills, a hairpin turn and maximum "airtime!" Named after a local high school sports team, the wooden Blue Streak has given nearly 55 million rides since its first summer 43 years ago.

In 2007, this timeless coaster gave 729,849 rides. Guests must be at least 48 inches tall to take a trip back in history aboard the Blue Streak.

May not accommodate Guests of Exceptional Size.
