Blue Streak
1964

Picture
Picture
Picture
Blue Streak opened in 1964 and is currently Cedar Point's oldest existing roller coaster. When Blue Streak opened it was operated manually. At first, the ride's lap bars did not lock and the seats were bench style and had no seat belts. Over time the ride was modified.

One of the first changes to be made was to the lap bars. The lap bars were changed to lock so riders would be safer.

The ride's station was also a double loading station similar to that of Millennium Force.  Blue Streak was Cedar Point's tallest roller coaster for 12 years (1964 - 1975).

    Blue Streak's station is located on the Blue Streak Midway.
Picture
The station looks very nice and can get quite breezy on hot days. Blue Streak leaves the station with a left turn and goes up the lift!
Picture
The logo on the station has changed to reflect the ride's time at the park. The current logo has the skyline of the park in the background!

    Blue Streak then goes up its 78-foot lift hill. Blue Streak creeps its way to the top of the amazing hill.

    As Blue Streak goes up you hear the clicking sound. Blue Streak has the feel of an old classic and also the sound of an old classic!
Picture
    When the train gets to the top, it drops you down 76 feet!

    During the drop, riders on Blue Streak are lifted out of their seat, giving them the feeling of airtime, which is the feeling of floating!
Picture

Blue Streak then goes over a few bunny hills.

    Blue Streak's amazing airtime hill is next! Riders will float over this hill as Blue Streak flies over the top of it!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
    Blue Streak heads into a turnaround. The turn is seriously fast! Blue Streak then heads back to the station!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
    To get back, Blue Streak uses a series of bunny hills!
Picture
Picture
Those small hills give amazing airtime!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Blue Streak then hits the break run and goes back to the station!
Picture
The Fast Lane program was added to Blue Streak in 2012.
    Blue Streak's entrance is to the left of the station and under the break run.

Changes

Picture
        Like all of the other rides in the park, eventually, Blue Streak got new automatic platform gates.
    In the 1990's, Cedar Point changed the way the ride operated. The old unloading station became the new duel loading station.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Blue Streak's entrance was moved from the front of the station to under the break run.
Picture
The queue area was moved from the right of the coaster to between the station and the lift hill.
Picture
Picture
    In the late 1990's, the trains were modified. They received new lap bars, new seat belts, and a new headrest. The trains were also painted a different shade of blue and orange. The foot pedals seen in the front of the cars today were added in 2013.
Picture
    Blue Streak was painted for the 2012 season.
