I really enjoy Blue Streak every time I make a trip there. I consider it to be one of Cedar Points most under rated coasters, and a hidden treasure to some extent. Its 78 tall lift hill is pretty modest when compared to the rest of CPs skyline. Its also tucked away off the main midway behind Raptor with only Calypso and Turnpike Cars to keep it company (not exactly destination rides, although I do like Calypso). The ride itself is the type of ride that cemented coasters as the king of the midway. It is fast paced from start to finish. The top speed is only 40 mph, but it feels much faster because of the airtime on the bunny hop hills. The trains also go right down to the ground in between hills, which also adds to the sense of speed. The coaster is just rough enough to let you know your on an old wooden coaster, but not to the point where you come off with bruises. Its always worth riding more than once on any trip to the point.
