Business Contact: deathbyillusion@live.com One going up, and one going down. Driving around Perimeter Road and seeing how massive it was up close was awesome. This zero-g roll is cool because after completing the flip, you twist right side up at the highest point before continuing your roll to the right that leads seamlessly into a banked right turn diving under the lift hill. What if this park built this coaster from this manufacturer? Is Steel Vengeance the world’s greatest coaster? Occasionally though, a wish comes along that becomes ubiquitous; something nearly every coaster lover dreams of one day becoming reality. Just speechless. Take a ride on Steel Force a steel sit down roller coaster by Morgan with a height of 200 FT, Drop of 205 FT, and speeds up to 75 MPH at Dorney Park in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The quick change in direction throws riders to the right in the process. A few portions of the coaster had to be reprofiled, and trim brakes were added to the first drop, making the trains slog through the course at not very exciting speeds. Well, not so fast.Thanks to the natural progression of elements (starting out simple and grand, and gradually becoming more chaotic and complex by the end), the ride does not waste any of its speed. It’s also probably the smoothest, most comfortable zero-g roll I’ve ever experienced. G1 trains just have 42). Not to mention, TONS of airtime. It was a pipe dream for myself and so many for so long, that when it finally happened, we all went nuts.
Unfortunately I wouldn’t get to ride it that day (the ride notably had a Crossing the train tracks and seeing Steel Vengeance front and center, one thing struck me right away. Also those were Six Flags conversions, and Six Flags has been known to be very frugal with their capital spending for new attractions.THIS was a CEDAR FAIR project.
Fast speeds. Polyurethane has higher friction than the steel wheels that run on wood coaster track (steel running strips nailed to a laminated wood trackbed), meaning if RMC simply replaced the original track with steel track and didn’t change the layout, the trains would most likely either crawl through, or stall and not complete the course.
As not just a roller coaster nerd, but a bit of an engineering nerd in general, what RMC is able to do with these wooden coasters is just fascinating. I was fully on board the hype train.After another long off-season of scavenging for every update I could find, I was on my way to The Point the first week of daily operation to ride this thing for myself, but would it live up?Seeing this thing in person after the nearly two years of following it online was such a trip for me.
It’s a fun way to kick off the ride before engaging the lift hill, which happens to randomly be CRAZY loud. If Mean Streak was simply going to be renovated, Cedar Point wouldn’t have announced the ride to straight up close for good.September rolls around, and after a rather humorous Up until this point, every RMC conversion had cut the length of the original ride by a considerable amount.
It was actually happening. You sorta get this left-right-left jig that to me is an amazing example of the little pacing nuances that RMC loves to throw in.Emerging out of the structure, you speed up and over two traditional airtime hills (the second of which includes a quick jog to the right) before plunging right into the wood structure of the outside banked hill. No, but it was pleasant enough. What if this coaster was renovated/retracked etc. Adding to that, I personally love that Steel Vengeance doesn’t have any gimmicks. Years later, after being banished from Frontier Town, local inventor Blackjack Chamberlain, and his cohorts, Digger and Chess, returned to the town, crafting a machine so menacing it would be sure to take back what Maverick stole from them all those years ago. The ride is packed to the brim with so many Steel Vengeance is by far RMC’s largest coaster (as of early 2019), so, given their crazy nature, that should automatically make it the best of the bunch right?

It felt like the biggest deal in the amusement world that Cedar Point had finally decided to work with RMC to rebuild Mean Streak. Inversions.
Well, no. Mean Streak was 5,427 feet long (much longer than any RMC at that point), and I knew that Cedar Point wouldn’t be afraid kick things up a notch and preserve the ride’s length. It has just about everything you could want in a hybrid coaster. It didn’t feel real. Steel Vengeance feels like RMC’s most well-balanced, carefully thought-out roller coaster to date. It conserves its speed just about perfectly through the entire ride, and trust me. To be able to walk up to an existing wood structure, essentially “scan” it, design a new track profile, then re-engineer the structure to fit the new profile is so freaking cool, and I LOVE watching the whole process.I remember when New Texas Giant at Six Flags Over Texas first opened. Cedar Fair has no problem at all dropping $20 million plus on gigantic roller coasters. Even better, the signature RMC airtime hills are spaced out Steel Vengeance is one of a handful of coasters that I would call a total package ride. It’s pretty fun to find and read them all, though with the fact that the storyline isn’t exactly clear to most people waiting in line plus the lack of visual theming, reading through all the character profiles feels a bit like the roller coaster equivalent of playing a text adventure game from the Commodore 64 days.Speaking of the queue, I loved how Cedar Point put the new switchback area right next to the first drop and final bunny hills. A notoriously rough and boring monster of a coaster that (not so) quietly sat at the back of Cedar Point, the self proclaimed Roller Coaster Capital of the World. Superman - Ride Of Steel front seat on-ride HD POV Six Flags America - Duration: 3:17. After 25 years of operation, Cedar Point would officially close Mean Streak on September 16, 2016. RMC could’ve plucked this out of one of my dreams, and I would’ve believed them. Call GCI. With the conversion, RMC raised the height of it by maybe 30-40 feet, and flattened the banking completely, so you rise up while curving right, straighten out at the crest, then continue curving right on the way down, so what ends up happening is you get two distinct jolts of lateral g’s to the left.
