the only people who could like this ride are ones who have never ridden a great woody. the thing's a huge hulking insult to wooden coasters everywhere, i'm sorry to say, because it sure is pretty to look at.
I like MS and I have rode some considerably good wooden coasters. Examples: The Beast, Thunderhead, Lightning Racers, Legend, and Raven. Don't get me wrong, MS can be like riding a jackhammer, but so can SOB.
Some GCI's are awsome (Gwazi, Thunderhead ect.) but these two seem to take a toll for the worst year after year.
Neither Mean Streak nor Texas Giant are GCI's.
By the way, MS is going nowhere!
I really think CP will add a B&M flyer to Frontiertown next season and that will liven up Mean Streak.
Look at Disaster Transport? That ride always has like a 45 minute wait because of the cool rides around it. Theres not much as far as thrills in frontierland so a new ride back there would help MS.
It amazes me that they run 3 trains on that thing nearly every day of the season even though it's a walk on.
It was C.P.'s Second shot in the Coaster Wars after Magnum. If you wanted the baddest thrills around you waited an Hour or so for Magnum and 2-3 hours for the big new woody Mean Streak. I might I remind you that was before they put up the blue tarps for shade. I remeber sitting there in line thinking "I could stand in the middle of this and listen to it forever." The roar was incredible!
Now, its sad. Every year I get back there, ride it, and tell myself that was the last time. This has happened for like the last 5 years. But for some reason I keep riding. Even with the physical pain, for some reason I still love to ride it, even though I love to hate it.
I say let the Mean Streak live on! Please just put something else back there already!!! its long over due!!!!
