Blue Streak is the classic wooden roller coaster at Cedar Point that opened in 1964, making it the park’s oldest continuously operating coaster. Built by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters with a traditional out-and-back layout, it climbs about 78 ft before dropping riders down at up to 40 mph through a series of airtime hills and a sweeping turnaround before returning to the station in roughly 1 minute 45 seconds. Celebrated for its nostalgic charm and historic significance, Blue Streak remains a beloved staple for visitors of all ages.
