What riders love
  • The first 2 hills have some really strong floater and the rest of the hills give solid air.
  • The ejector on this ride is INSANE, especially at night.
  • Its out and back layout provides heaps of airtime and that air is powerful no matter where you sit.
  • I would've given it a rattle for the cons, but that's one of the things that makes this feel so classic and awesome.
  • I love my classic woodies and this one certainly didn't disappoint.
  • I loved the light airtimes and slight rattle. The PTC trains are the best, love those things.
  • The pops of airtime were unexpectedly good, considering its age and how short the height is.
  • Surprisingly wild for a ride many would consider a family coaster.
  • The first hill was such a pleasant surprise and it's adorable they call this Boo Streak around Halloween

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Cedar Point

The airtime was about what I would expect from a PTC woody, which is good, as I quite enjoy that type of airtime with looser restraints.

Michael M.

We fly right over it and get a little bit of airtime.

Incredible Coasters

Although the layout is a simple out and back, there are many airtime hills that can offer some floater airtime.

Erik C.

...glaze this ride till the day I die bc one time I rode this my lap bar was pretty loose and the airtime made me get launched way outta my seat and it was awesome broooo (it is getting pretty rough tho)

Rasiano Davinci

I don’t get much airtime in the back, but I get a lot in the front

@SkyrushFanboy

It wasn’t rough, from what I remember, so I didn’t experience much of the rattling that the other reviews mention.

Max S.

I was expecting it to be a small rough-kiddie coaster, but I was surprised, every drop I loves, yeah, it might be bumpy, but I love it.

Leo Robert

The hills give decent airtime, but the turnaround is absolutely lackluster, and the bottoms of the hills are hell on the lower back.

Jackie ODoyle

I rode a simulator version and thought it looked fun but when I did the real thing the ride was dreadful and too much for me to take at the time.

Evan G.

It’s old, it’s rickety and it’s a powerful ride….a lot like driving in a vintage muscle car.

Timothy R.

Surprisingly wild for a ride many would consider a family coaster.

Shark Bite

Lots of airtime and surprising intensity made up for it.

Zach S.

The ride is short and low intensity, but it’s historical status is a nice shot of nostalgia.

Richard Buman

Jarring, rickety and without any notable joy or intensity.

Sean Reardon

It’s a fun first drop that gives us a good amount of speed.

Incredible Coasters

I don’t know why this thing is so fast or why they didn’t put a trim brake in, but at the same time, I’m not complaining.

Coaster Paradise

Serviceable woodie in a park without any others, but basic out and back layout, small size and slowness deliver nothing super interesting.

Wet Willie

If you can ride it at the end of the night, there will be no wait and you can ride in every car in just a few minutes.

Timothy R.

I had a night ride when there was no wait and the lift hill was lit up, so that was fun.

Grey K.

This coaster does generate a sizable line early in the day since it’s towards the front of the park, but it’s usually a walk-on for me by the afternoon.

Canobie Coaster

Because it’s near the front, the line tends to be longer, which is a bummer, but I usually ride it once near the end of the day.

Nate Kunnen

Honestly I never ride because It always had a decently long line the many times I went.

Millan B.
Height fear

The airtime is absolutely insane and I was fearing for my life because of the lap bar and the airtime.

Derek Stearns

Maybe it was the age or the height but I was scared to death (in a good way) riding this for the first time in a decade.

Ben Hietanen
Motion sickness risk

It nearly made me sick...and absent any childhood nostalgia, I found no redeeming qualities in this ride.

Sean Reardon

It was just too rough of a ride to the point it could cause injury and out of all the coasters I got on that day, the Blue Streak was the only one that left me feeling nauseous and ready to go home.

This old wooden roller is Great! It has some of the bast airtime at CP.

Caiden Brauchler, Captain Coaster review

I did ride it on a wheel seat and I was stapled pretty badly, so the airtime hurt and combine that with a shaky ride experience, and that’s the reason I remember not really liking it after riding.

Sam M., Captain Coaster review

While Blue Streak just has an out and back layout, the first half has great airtime, the second half doesn’t have as much airtime but it’s still fun.

RThirtyEight Coasters, Captain Coaster review

Getting an inside seat of the car eliminates the roughness, and they generally allow that to happen on this ride.

Bubble Gaming, Captain Coaster review

I liked the little house at the top, but this ride just feels to old and rough.

Basil Robinson, Captain Coaster review

In the front row, Blue Streak is a surprisingly good ride with some fun pops of airtime throughout its course.
