I think it'll be around 250ft tall, the drop will be a lot steeper than before so that will give them another 20-30ft in length plus they've raised it up 20ft from where it originally was.

Hey all, new here. Been following this project for quite some time now. Incredible how this is finally happening after so many years of talking about it. RMC Mean Streak has to be one of my favorite projects to follow that I can remember at Cedar Point. Reminds me of watching Dragster and Maverick going up without really having any idea as to what was happening. I am honestly surprised the layout has not been leaked yet in typical Cedar Fair fashion. But by the looks of it, we could theoretically have the full layout before any announcement is even made.Edit: Forgot to mention, but I caught a pic of Mean Streak on the CP webcams yesterday as someone was messing around with the view.

Buy tickets to Ohio State Day and ride a day before Park Opening.

I hate to burst your bubble but RMC Hurler's gonna open 2 months before RMC Mean Streak.

Wow, just wow...
Also, thanks everyone trawling the internet and posting these updates - they always make my day better It's also fantastic that we can actually share these photos freely (unlike*coughcough* TPR)
The question is, where does it go next? The original design had the track head back through the lift structure, which is certainly possible, but maybe there's a chance they'll do something different? Take a look at this (gorgeous) photo here:
After that mini wave turn at the top, the ride could conceivably head down the side of the road, potentially via a multi-down resembling THAT Lightning Rod quad down that seems to be every enthusiast's wet dream right now. It would have to get back over that tiny little bunny hill, then could potentially head into the MCBR, in the opposite direction to its original incarnation? I might be wrong (and we may well get a multi-down on the other side after heading under the lift instead), but either way, we're in for some exciting elements in the near future. There are still a few bents leading up to that little opening that are still intact, but the way they've cut the structure back around the high speed bunny hill got me thinking....
It'll be interesting to see how the ride comes to an end - Mean Streak, especially the post-MCBR part of the layout seemed to spend a lot of time weaving in, out and under itself. Perhaps we could be looking at some high speed banked turns and maybe even an inline twist, in a similar way to how Wicked Cyclone ends?
For those with the burden of actually having ridden MS, I presume that element of travelling through that giant wooden structure made the ride a bit more interesting?

Man makes you wonder how some of those elements are possible. They don't seem to match up with the laws of physics.

Oh true. Oops. Well...my bubble is still pretty darn inflated, especially with more pics

This ride is going to be amazing!:emoji_heart_eyes: Planning my trip now.

A bit, but not much. Honestly it was a dreadfully boring and slow ride, despite its height and speed, 2/3 feels like you're slowly coasting through nothing. The structure of it all is honestly what I liked most!Wow, just wow...

That was actually the very reason I chose this forum over TPR!
But About the RMC Mean Streak, I am excited about what will happen with those ledgers/support things!

any mention of coasterforce will get you banned also:emoji_joy:
Do you think CP will do some type of weathering treatement on the new wood that is added to RMC Mean Streak to make the colors match? Or do you think they care or I feel the GP even care? I know they won't do it, but it would be cool if they painted it all white! I think it would really stand out and look even more amazing than it already does currently

Give it a year or so and it will match the old wood that is there.

After going through the dynamics of the lift hill, we are definitely looking at around 210-215 in height. With speeds around 80-85 mph. They have yet to extend the drop track as of yet. Its a tight squeeze in there, so I suspect they will not go above 215, with about a 70-80 degree drop. That would achieve the speed as mentioned.
