On Monday, July 29, 2002, Conneaut Lake Park Preservation Society will host the second annual Blue Streak Challenge aboard the Blue Streak roller coaster at historic Conneaut Lake Park, Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania. The goal of this marathon is to raise funds for the continuing maintenance of this classic coaster. Riders will attempt to endure twelve hours of continuous riding on the Blue Streak, with only a few meal breaks.
The first marathon was held last July, and was the brainstorm of a couple of coaster/park enthusiasts who felt moved to "do something" for this fine traditional amusement park. Registrants came from as far away as Maryland, New Jersey and Michigan. With a whopping 192 rides, they raised close to $3,300.00! The Society would like to see this amount doubled this year, so please check out the web site and come join us!
