  • ha ha... Yeah, I see the guy now... :D

  • 1: 35.....

  • Cedar Point should NOT tear this down, it has potential. Maybe if they had a retracking project on it and new trains; who knows maybe they'll have a #1 Woodie on their hands! I <3 the Mean Streak!!!

  • This ride hurt so bad!! lmfao i remember going on it! It was fun but very uncomfortable.

  • This looks like one badass ride! I wanna' go on!

  • @oneworldguy Trust me, if you even dare to think about going on this ride, think about your spine first. I am a roller coaster FREAK, and I will love almost any roller coaster, but this one beats the hell out of you!

  • @oneworldguy dude it hurts your but

  • @nikoli254, that's okay. I have a fat ass. Those extra hamburgers will have paid off!  ;-)

  • @oneworldguy lol

  • its wooden, its 160 feet tall, its 20 years old. If you got on this ride expecting a nice smooth ride on fresh track, then you are sadly mistakin and know nothing about roller coasters. if you cant take the heat stay out of the kitchen, and go ride the Jr. Gemini

  • scary

  • i got a headache after this ride

  • oh that was SOOO fun!!

  • I usually love roller coasters, but I hated this one; it rellentlessly beats the crap out of you until you're just praying for it to end. And I felt like i was bout to fall out the whole time. Not worth the wait.

  • This is a PAINFULLY old ride lol

  • @exkuhpid i think its a person

  • You can tell they dub the screams in. Who would scream on a straight away @0:56? I own several old rollercoaster tapes and notice the screams are the same on every ride. Even the screams on this ride sound familiar. What is there a single scream audio tape passed along to each coaster video maker? It just sounds fake. But, it's still fun to watch the coaster.

  • I believe the Mean Streak is the longest timed rollercoaster in Cedar Point.

  • One of the best ones there! Went on 3 times, 2nd time without screaming at all xD Wasn't very scary as it was thrilling. But it sure does give you a good shaking xP

  • is this worse than Son of Beast???

  • i love screaming on coasters just to piss people off

  • @properst1 lol same

  • whats that at 1:33?

  • worst ride i ever went on hurts sooo bad! -.-

  • This coaster was simply bad design. Bigger is not always better, it's size just gets in its own way with a lazy track layout. It's only mean in the sense that it hurts people, not because it is fast nor furious, especially now that it has been trimmed to death. If CP were wise, they would raze it and replace it with something similar to the new Texas Giant. Now that coaster is mean, it a good way.

  • This was one of the shakiest damn coasters I've ever been on. (I wanna go again!)

  • This rollercoaster is the longest wooden rollercoaster in America, time wise, and also the roughest by far. Ironic, isn't it?

  • @TheHow200 Actually, the beast (kings island or kings dominion not sure which one) is longer.

  • What's the new speed now with the trim brakes on top of the first drop. Not in this video, this old video is much faster than the current [HD] official POV mounted video, and more shakier nowadays. Still love this beast though, this is the real beast.

  • This ride REALLY hurt my neck and back... This and the magnum. Thumbs up if you agree.

  • I'm going sometime this summer to cedar point. Will i be ok if i just ride it once? hahaha cause it looks so damn fun, but then again, i dont want to hurt m back

  • @tydrumspunk1993 I have been here but never rode this, but you only live once.

  • Hmm, I think I have this video tape; "America's Greatest Roller Coaster Thrills in 3D".

    As far as "woodies" go, nothing beats The Beast.

  • This looks like one of the coasters on one of those simulators you'll see sometimes in the arcade. There's a bowling alley that i go to sometimes that has one of those simulator rides & it has a few coasters on it...2 bucks a ride though. One day, i'm gonna make it to Cedar Point and ride the Mean Streak, along with the other coasters. This coaster looks Smooth compared to that crappy Hurricane coaster that once stood at the Myrtle Beach Pavilion. THAT one was TOO rough-riding!!

  • @001GenLee Trust me, the highlight of your trip will be the Top Thrill Dragster or Millenium Force.

  • back before all of the shit trims......

  • =O

    I didnt think wood coasters could go NEARLY this fast

  • thats like doing 60 on the highway

    boring

  • @cavalierfan1995 it's not the speed, height, or length that make a coaster fun. the sensation of freefall and when riders experience negative g-froces is what makes it really exiting. plus, when you drive on the highway, you dont have wooden beam flying almost too close to your hands! and the speed it wrong. this ride actually goes 70 Mph because this was before they installed the trim brake in 1996.

  • worst wooden coaster ive ever been on

  • @nastynatenigg er not. THAT RIDE IS AMAZING. GO TO ENGLAND AND GO ON THE WOODEN RIDES THERE THEY PROBALY GO HALF THE HEIGHT AND SPEED. spoilt...that is 160ft what is with american people and disliking good rides, they have become soooooooo spoilt!

  • there's a reason it's called the mean streak....it beats you up like a bully in middle school.

  • I can't wait untill I go on tht rollercoaster

  • Thumbs up if you think this ride HURTS... it does.

  • @MultiCoasters most wooden ones do.

  • every ride on the channal gshoven has the same peoplr riding it and making the same voices!

  • Ahhh I had this old VHS video! Watched it religiously as a kid!

  • Hey coaster riders...it's a wooden coaster, it's supposed to toss and smack ya around a bit. It wouldn't be a real wooden coaster experience if it didn't. Here's a simple piece of advice to enjoy a great woodie without the pain, don't tense up. Just relax, scream your head off and enjoy the ride!

  • @rfgstl Love this ride. beats the hell out of you at the right places and is just a fun time.

  • @leary6996 > Amen! Mean Streak is a beast, and I love it! :)

  • @rfgstl

    Well then explain every wooden coaster built by GCI, that are kick ass wooden rides but are smooth as glass? Just because a ride is wooden doesn't mean it will be rough, this ride was built a long time ago and the trains on this ride have made it more and more rough over the years. It certainly was not rough when it first opened. People have this idea that wooden coasters are supposed to be rough, but they were not built that way, they just aged badly! This ride is an example of that.

  • @CPmillenia94 > GCI does create some great coasters. Some people don't want a "smooth as glass" experience when it comes to a wooden coaster though. I know that not all wooden coasters need to be rough, but that is part of the reason people enjoy them. I remember riding Mean Streak when it was new, and I have enjoyed riding it through the years. It hasn't aged badly b/c it is still thrilling riders. If it was such a horrible coaster, then CP would have removed it years ago.

  • Once, we were onn the stretch of track right before the station, the train in front was still loading, and there was another car coming up from behind really fast, and I thought we were gonna crash, but we didn't...

    Waited 1 1/2 hours in line and that ride gave me a headache and a nosebleed!

  • but they seem to be screaming at the right times

  • El Toro goes 75 mph

  • Is there anythig past mean streak?

  • The screaming you hear in this video is fake. I have this video, and you hear the same people screaming on every ride. But, notice how fast the train is moving, and check other videos. This was taken before all the trims were added to slow it down to increase it's capacity. This is back when Mean Streak was the Kind of Cedar Point.

    I rode it before this video was made, and it really did move that fast. Not any more.

  • what do you mean to increase the capacity. like add more to the train? 

  • this roller coster is hell.

  • whats pov?

  • @alan517815 pov= oint of view

  • @spairpartsdealer

    'POINT' of view you fucking retard !>:(

    FEAR THE FUCKING GRAMMAR POLICE YOU BASTARD!

  • this ride is prety much a fun beating

  • it dosent look scary but it looks fun

  • omg this ride is sooo freakin painful its beats u half to death, but its fun while ur on it!!!!

  • seems like its fast going all the way thru lol

  • Yeah we went couple months back and my 2 sisters and uncle i didnt get on it after they got off my uncle was hurtin like a mofo he said he never ridin it again

  • @SPLITLEO sorry but i dont think anybody speaks Hebrew 

  • i think i lost one of my testicles on this

  • Yea right... Broke a rib?? Wat a pansy

  • I love this ride...

  • There secretly sceaming OWW cause it hurts! haha

  • dude this ride hurts so much....go millenium and dragster and raptor and mantis and magnum and maverick and sky hawk and max air!!!!

  • thnks everyone for saying it hurts becuz i was going to go on it but i change my mind :)

  • this ride looks fun..i dident get the chance to go on it last time i was there it was under renavation...i dont really care if it hurts your back or gives u a headache...its called mean streak...its not ment to be the nicest smoothest ride in the world..

  • you have to give me a season pass to go on that ride again the only good rides are 1gemini t2op thrill dragster 3 milleion force 4marvrike 5 disaster transport 6 rapotor 7 wicked twister and the rest really hurts or gives you a hedace

  • The other day i was there and my cousin works there "operates the wildcat atm" but used top operate the mean streak. Well anyway he got off work at 6:00 so me and him can go riding and when we got to the mean streak he knew the operatiors and had them turn off the trim for that paarticular run. To make it simple no brakes we did the run in half the time and twice the pain. ID DO IT AGAIN ANYDAY!

  • My friend told me to put my hands up i tried it didnt work out cuz it was sooooooo bumpy i got lots of bruises from it! :(

  • should i ride this when i come here?

  • @CAZZERNERY its not worth the wait or the time because when your done you have a headace like hell and then you have to go to first aid to get tyollenol like me

  • this ride hurts lawl

  • railing was not finished at 0:10 or what? I remember the electronics for brakes wasn't finished when they opened it and they had extension cords everywhere.

  • I hate this ride because it hurts so much!!!

  • I hate this ride so much. I thought it would be fun, but it hurts so freaking bad. I think I'll stick to the steel coasters for a bit.

  • @csabo07 same here

  • love this roller coster but man it hurts ur back

  • ii rode that & its weakk ,.

  • i love this ride :)

  • This was SO PAINFUL.

    My friend and I seriously almost cried after this...

  • this looks ten times better then shivering timbers

  • this ride would be SO niice if it was not that painful .. DO NOT RIDE THIS COATSER IN THE BACK ..IT WILL KILL UR BACK !!

  • 66 mph is not that fast...

  • @MrsWnnaBeBagans yeah but it hurts real bad i was there and made the mistake of riding this

  • I kinda loved this ride. I didn't understand why it was always a walk-on, its not that rough for a wooden coaster and it has a good layout. Trust me, there are other roller coaster (steel too) that are much worse.

  • they need a sign on this ride that says "WARNING Ride May Cause Serious Injury or Even DEATH"

  • Jesus those people are screaming way to much.

  • @Rawrzellers well they are on a roller coaster, they are allowed to scream, and trust me that ride hurts like hell so i wouldnt blame them if i were you..

  • 1:31 is there someone standing on the edge? and lloks fun!

  • @EVERYONE u dont have shit one me unless u have rode the son of beast

  • im going to cedarpoint in 7 days im SO EXCITED!!!!

  • Roughest ride I've ever been on. They retrack it constantly every day every year... but still even after adding trim brakes to the ride to slow it down, very rough just slower and more boring. This video was taken when it first opened and if you watch the official POV for this ride, it's a lot slower because of the brakes throughout the ride, first hill, second hill. Bottom line, lean forward or else this will be your last ride for the day.

  • chest crushing hell.

  • this is the most misserable thing ever

  • this ride looks ridiculous... i am gonna ride it next week

  • It amazes me that this ride is even still up. Now I know what babies feel like when they are shaken to death. BTW, thanks for putting this video up, I used to have this video when I was a kid!

  • this ride was bumpy as hell. its the most painful ride i ever went on

  • Vuvuzela button makes it EPIC

  • @TurnItUpPlease HA! It really does!

  • best roller coaster at cedar point

  • i just went on this today, it's a fun ass ride, but it's bumpy as fuck

  • This ride will turn you into a MAN !!!

  • @biggdave104 Lmao do they give sex ops on this ride then i take it? haha

  • who is doing all that screaming in the background! shut up!

  • @otakugurl5000 That was several men screaming believe it or not it was just high pitched because this ride grabs you by the nuts and doesnt let go !

  • @DrivenUpTheWall1 hey dot i kno it. thart ride jacked up my back, but i still love it!

  • @otakugurl5000 Lol true, its actually down for repairs at the moment .

  • Mean Streak is my fav. wooden roller coaster at cedar point...

  • If this is so painful is it still worth going on and waiting for because im going to cedar point soon and i wanna go on all the fun rides

  • This was my 1st BIG roller coaster, it left a bad impression on me since it was VERY painful, I hope other ones are smoother lol

  • This coaster definitely has a bad rep for being painful. The closer to the front you are, the smoother the ride is. Never sit at the back on this ride. Try and sit closer to the front.

  • Lmfao I like the commentary guy =P

  • I never ever go on woodies except for intamin woodies cos literally they will kill me

  • Is this scarier or faster than GhostRider at Knotts?

  • @wizardsof98 its not realy fast or super scary its bumpy as hell and it literaly beats the shit outa ya that being said theres nothing quite like riding this ride from the second you step in the seat an enchantment fills you.Its a very cool ride however its not realy fast or scary

  • the footage here shows the ride as a smooth ride but hell this is the bumpyest rollercoaster i have ever been on (and i've been on all the ones at cedar point except the mavrick which i wanted to ride but it was a 3 hour wait).it was fun though.depending on where you sit it can hurt

  • this ride doesnt hurt, u just all pussy's.... go to sit on ur grandma's couch fcking cancerwhores

  • My friend should have sued CP because this is the ride that caused him to have severe whiplash.

  • this ride didnt hurt at all it was one of my favs

  • this is fast like shit

  • @singerbabe96 I worked on Mean Streak for all of summer 2000 and half of summer 2001(transferred to Thunder Canyon halfway). The trick to riding this, or any wooden coaster, is to sit away from the back of the seat. If you ride leaning back, you'll get off with a headache.

  • this ride huets DO NOT RIDE

  • FUCK YEAH!!!! THIS RIDE PWNS!!

  • PURE PAIN.

    This ride will break every bone in your back. Avoid, unless you've got some extra baggage.

  • this puts terminator salvation the ride at six flags magic mountain to shame. i know. i work there.

  • Yes, a nearly 20 year old Dinn ride that's rough as hell puts a nearly brand new GCI to shame -.-

  • ok ok, maybe i'm wrong, but the footage looks smooth, and by how fast it goes it goes faster than TSTR... this ride goes about 65mph, terminator, 52mph...mean streak may be old, but it'd be a cool ride to check out whenever i visit there.

  • If they were to completely over haul Mean Streak like Six Flags is doing to Texas Giant, it would probably be an amazing ride!

  • that wouldn't be such a bad idea.

  • this ride is really impressive for a wooden rollercoaster, its extremely jerky though

  • This ride made me laugh not hurt. lol. All through the ride just kept on laughing... XD

  • I went on this. Ouch.

    Try Wild Beast @ Canada's Wonderland and sit in the back. If you raise your arms on the first drop you will hit yourself. HARD.

  • Wow, It looks like it used to be run better. I actually saw a few points where you would get airtime! Looks like you got okay laterals too. Now if they could remove all the trims and MCBR, and retrack it than It'd be good like it used to.

  • Comment removed

  • it may not seem scary but this thing hurts like HELL!!!! i was just there last weekend and we thought it would be soooo much fun but we were in so much pain! and we sat in the back so it was even worse!

  • @oceanxxfloor I was there not long ago, too. <33333 it.

  • @oceanxxfloor omg i did the same thing, my lower back and ribs hurt like a bitch

  • @oceanxxfloor oh my god i know right my back hurt like crazy!

  • @oceanxxfloor omg, so was i ! the guys behind us said they almost broke a rib !

  • this will tear u apart

  • it shakes u like crazy. I went this weekend and there was no line for it cause its in its own little area of the park away from most of the other rollarcoasters.

  • this video is from one of those old roller coaster simulators for 4 year olds.

  • nice pov

  • this one isnt even scary

  • I bet it was at this time, the brakes at the top that i saw in the front slowed it down alot!!! It had no airtime at all! I wish i could have roden it when it was like this looks smooth and fast! Oh i had to get a chiropractic appointment after this! Its the worst at cedar point!

  • I rode it back in 01 and thought it was smooth for a wooden, it was our first time to the park and havent gone back yet, now if u think thats rough ride the predator at darien lake in darien NY, man it gives me chest pains and im only 21 lol, want to go back to cedar point so bad!

  • annoying screams! lol

  • this ride HURTS... alot

  • it really hurts yer bak and wut not......gives u briuses!!!!! wut i suggest is the DRAGSTER!!!!!! omg tht wuz fuuuuuun!!!

  • this looks pretty fast to me

  • It is =D

  • i went on this

  • i hate this ride so much.

  • I want to go on this

  • NO u dont, this thing KILLS ur back and totally rattles u around, its horrible i will never go on this again

  • it really hurts ur back.and its very long!

  • is that the skyscraper in the background at 0:38 ?

  • haha me and my friends rode this and it was really slow. :P but still fun. a lot slower than the gemini though. my friend freaked out... she thought the wood was going to fall apart while we were on it.

  • your friend is an idiot! jkjk lol omg jkjk

  • this ride hurts like hell but its worth it

  • it does, but its soooo NOT worth it

  • i know right yer head all bangs around the turns and stuff

  • every great park has to have a great wooden coaster. they should leave this one alone. if you sit in the front it is not as bumpy. my gf and I rode this several times in a row cause it was 1 of 3 coasters running in the rain. no headache's this was a fun ride. Cedar point does not need another hyper coaster....

  • This was the most painful experience of my life. Every second the thing was just throwing me back and forth from the uncomfortable back rest to the broken lap bar, which damn near busted my gut and threw out my back.
