Rob's Top 9		A wild "Woodie" built in 1991. The Mean Streak roller coaster at Cedar Point amusement park/resort is as much a marvel to look at as it is a joy to ride. Built from 1.7 million board feet of treated Southern yellow pine and standing a monumental 161 feet tall, the Mean Streak is one of the two wooden roller coasters that grace the skyline of "America's Roller Coast."
