Mean Streak                         Thrill Rides

The Coaster on the Coast! A forest of thrills! Mean Streak, located in Frontiertown, is one of the tallest and fastest wooden roller coasters in the universe. Made from 1.7 million board feet of treated Southern yellow pine, this wood giant is a marvel to look at and a joy to ride.

Swoosh! Fly by in a streak!After cresting the gigantic 161-foot-tall-first hill, riders zoom down 155 feet at a 52-degree angle and reach a maximum speed of 65 mph. Passengers complete the ride by traveling over and through a 5,427-foot-long maze of sharp turns and steep hills. Celebrating its 10th birthday in 2001, Mean Streak has given more than 13.3 million rides in its history.
