The Steel Vengance Rollercoaster at Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio

Unfortunately bigger doesn't mean better, especially with a wood coaster, and Mean Streak really wasn't that good. So back in 2016 Mean Streak gave its last rider and Rocky Mountain Construction started turning it into a monster hybrid coaster called Steel Vengeance.

Rocky Mountain Construction and designer Alan Shilke took Mean Streak and went bigger transitioning the lift hill from one hundred and sixty-five feet tall to a towering two hundred and five feet. No more is mean Streak's boring first drop with brakes half the way down to slow the ride down. Steel Vengeance sends you whipping over the top and headed literally straight down. It's an aggressive start for a coaster that is all about being aggressive.

The thing about RMC's coasters that I love is how they don't play around at all.

With you locked in tightly the rides throw you around like a rag doll and come as close to killing you with positive, negative, and lateral G forces.

Sitting out on the point of the peninsula if you get a millisecond between being thrown up, down, and around there are some amazing views from the top of Steel Vengeance of Lake Erie.
