This is the oldest operating roller coaster at Cedar Point. Blue Streak is a classic "out and back" wooden coaster designed by Frank Hoover and John Allen and built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company. After climbing the 78-foot tall lift hill, riders will embark down a 72-foot drop to experience more than a half dozen hills, turns, and plenty of "airtime". Since its opening on May 23, 1964, Blue Streak has given more than 54 million rides.
