Blue Streak POV

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 2006, this timeless coaster gave 777,071 rides. Guests must be at least 48 inches tall to take a trip back in history aboard the Blue Streak.

@FrigginEngineer Lol?

Yeah, they say it's 40 MPH.

V = SQ RT [2gh]

= SQ RT [2*32.174*72].........(72' drop)

= SQ RT (4633.056) = 68.07 ft/s

Converting to MPH = 46.36

Factoring in losses from Air Resistance and Friction (friction can be significant on these old woodies), and it's probably pretty close to 40 MPH.

Actually, going from 46 to 40 seems like a little too much of a loss just on the first hill, but it could be I guess.
