Blue Streak is a wooden roller coaster located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, United States.
Following the removal of Cyclone in 1951, more than a decade passed before Cedar Point decided to add another major roller coaster to its list of attractions.
[1] For the 1964 season, Philadelphia Toboggan Company was hired to build a new roller coaster under the direction of Frank F. Hoover and John C. Allen.
The roller coaster was named after the local Sandusky High School athletic nickname "The Blue Streaks".
[5] After a 78-foot climb (24 m) up its lift hill, the train descends 72 feet (22 m) at a 45-degree angle reaching a top speed of 40 miles per hour (64 km/h).
