Steel Vengeance — Attraction in Sandusky

Greg’s Coaster Collection: Ride #4 – Steel Vengeance Category: Hybrid Coaster | ⭐ Rating: 5/5 | 🎯 Best For: Thrill Seekers & Coaster Purists | ⏱ Wait Time: 🔴 (expect long waits, Fast Lane highly recommended)

Steel Vengeance is the ultimate redemption story in Cedar Point history. It took the old, famously bumpy and back-breaking Mean Streak — an iconic, rough-and-tumble wooden coaster — and transformed it into a smooth, record-breaking hybrid monster that redefined what a roller coaster can be.

The layout and structure pay homage to Mean Streak’s roots, but the new steel track brings insane airtime, crazy twists, and jaw-dropping drops that make you want to ride it again and again. The smoothness is mind-blowing — you feel every turn, every G-force, and it’s pure adrenaline from start to finish.

Ride Stats: 5,740 feet of track • 74 mph top speed • 200-foot drop • 4 minutes 40 seconds ride time Best Seat: Back row for the wildest airtime and surprises Pro Tip: Ride early or late in the day to beat the crowds. This one’s a park favorite for a reason. 📸 Photo-Worthy? Yes, especially the massive drops and twists under the sun.

Personal Note: Mean Streak was a legend, but Steel Vengeance is the coaster we always hoped it could become. I’m thrilled they kept the original spirit alive while launching it into a whole new league. Goodbye Mean Streak, hello Steel freaking Vengeance — you...

Dude 5 stars is too low for this ride I feel like I’m insulting this ride by giving it 5 stars. It needs like 30!!! Best RMC I have ever ridden and by far the best ride at cedar point! Non stop air time and action. Really long ride as well which is awesome! I always use flash pass but if I didn’t the line can get REALLY long at like 2 hrs sometimes. Good thing is they have PLENTY of free lockers for ur phones, wallet, and anything else u need to secure. The metal detectors will be sure to tell if u missed something lol. No loose articles r allowed at all. Even in a zipper pocket. Which makes sense due to the rides extremely aggressive nature. The track is butter smooth and the whole ride is just straight up amazing! I was super lucky one night to get 3 rides in a row because the line was non existent and the adrenaline rush was still the same every time. The only way someone wouldn’t like this is if they had absolutely no soul and no concept of fun. If u get off this bored ur a lunatic and need to re evaluate ur life choices. Perhaps go drink in the last chance saloon and see where u messed up in life. BEST RMC EVER!!!!! Me and my sister love this ride! Btw if u need to use the ada pass like we do they have baskets to secure ur items so u wont need a locker. Just a friendly heads up for u ADA...

The ride itself is unmatched. None of the other 500+ coasters I’ve ridden match it, even Iron Gwazi. The outerbank hills at the beginning and the bunny hills at the end provide insanely strong ejector airtime. Th ride (factually) has more airtime than any other coaster in the world. The experience is unreal. What else is unreal is how complicated the line and loading process is, especially with loose articles. I’ll admit, having free lockers in line right before the station beats having to pay for one of the big lockers. Another advantage of this is that for most of your hour wait, you can have your phone. The problem with the in-line locker system is when people are kicked out of line for having something that can’t fit in a pocket. Phones, keys, glasses, and small cameras are allowed in line. If you have a bag, fanny pack, or even a hat, you’ll have to leave the line and pay for a locker outside the ride entrance. This leads to employees being harassed. Another problem with the system is how backed up the line gets where the Fast Lane line and normal line meet. However, Millennium Force has had this issue since Fast Lane began. The upside of the free in-line lockers is faster dispatches, shorter intervals, and a better hourly capacity. Keep up the good work...
