Okay, venting done.

But they would both have different ride evperiences. The way intamin has evolved their building style would make a giga coaster, bigger and badder than millie.^Why? CP already has both of those.

I waited 40 minutes when I went
You actually waited for that crap? Me and my friends laughed the whole time because it was actually painful to ride.

EDIT:
Now please... you can't go into Cedar Point without gazing at this beast and saying "whoa" if you say anything at all. This thing is so cool! Why would you want to get rid of a beautiful coaster like this????

Hi Max
Thanks for sending us your comment on the Mean Streak. The coaster is in the process of a major overhaul, replacing all of the risers, framing etc. It’s a major undertaking giving the length of track and the amount of lumber required. This year CP rebuilt the first hill (after the lift) and a portion of the ensuing track. It has made a quantifiable difference in the ride experience. The ride is closed for the remainder of this year but if you ride it in 2012 you’ll find it is a much more enjoyable thrill.
Thanks again for your note and I hope you return to CP next year.
Take care

Ive ridden Mean Streak twice, and both rides were enjoyable.
I think it's really only Cedar Point Fan-boys that are always complaining, because they are majorly spoiled with all the smooth Intamin rides there.
A wooden coaster, is supposed to be rough. Mean streak is a massive beautiful coaster that offers a different experience then all your other fancy 25 million dollar rides. They don't build rides like this one anymore.
Yes, Compared to every other ride at CP, it's rough and throws you around, but I would take this ride at my local park anyday.

I forgot to throw in that it was closed when I was there for Halloweekends. Never saw any construction, but maybe that was why it was closed.
