Blue Streak (Cedar Point)

Blue Streak is a wooden roller coaster located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Built by Philadelphia Toboggan Company, Blue Streak opened to the public on May 23, 1964, and is the park's oldest roller coaster. In 2013, it achieved its highest ranking of 27 among the world's top wooden roller coasters in the annual Golden Ticket Awards publication by Amusement Today.

History

Cedar Point went without a roller coaster for more than a decade following its removal of Cyclone in 1951. Blue Streak was the only roller coaster at Cedar Point when it opened on May 23, 1964. The attraction's success led to a rebirth of roller coasters at Cedar Point, including the installation of Cedar Creek Mine Ride (1969), Corkscrew (1976), Gemini (1978) and Jr. Gemini (1979).

Blue Streak features a traditional "out-and-back" layout design from Philadelphia Toboggan Company. The roller coaster was named after the local Sandusky High School athletic nickname "The Blue Streaks". Cedar Point invested US$200,000 ($1,525,966 in 2016) to construct the wooden roller coaster, and it remains a favorite at the park and within annual roller coaster polls. In Amusement Today's 2013 Golden Ticket Awards, Blue Streak was ranked 27th among wooden roller coasters worldwide – its highest ranking to date.
