It's a shame that was such a crappy coaster from the start, since it looks so good! Maybe GCI can turn it into a great coaster...

The latest rumor is the HORRIBLE Mean Streak at Cedar Point is going ot get some much needed TLC and modification in the next year or two.

CF did a great job with Hurler and Rebel Yell last year. They were un-ride-able a few years ago. I have faith in them...unless they use their infamous trim brakes.

I hope if it does get work that it lasts; When I rode it last year it was easily the worst of any ride I've been on.

Supposedly GCI's retracking (rebuilding) of Thunder Road at Carowinds has been great. Lets hope they can work their magic at the Point.

Mean Streak seemed "B&M-smooth" after riding The Villain at Geauga Lake last summer. I am not usually one for demolishing rides but I was happy to see that piece of crap leveled.

Hahahahaha.
I forgot about Villian. It was my #1 coaster at SFWoA in 2003 but it became my least favorite non-D&S coaster last year.
Mean Streak was smooth but just a little dull. Well, it's not bad compared with Mantits and Craptor!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one disappointed with the quality of the Point's coasters!

That's good news; I went on Rebel Yell this past summer, and it was amazingly comfortable for an old woody like that. I have complete faith in these guys' expertise.
