Riding the Blue Streak in 2010 (Very Lucky) - Conneaut Lake Park Pennsylvania

The Blue Streak was a classic wooden roller coaster from Ed Vettel that originally opened at Conneaut Lake Park in 1938. In 2006 it closed and was SBNO for four years during which a massive fundraising campaign was launched to get it repaired and reopened. With some funding from Pepsi Cola it finally opened in September 2010. Our USA driving tour coincided with the scheduled reopening date but when we got there the ride was closed after heavy rain the night before. We feared we would miss out, but luck was on our side, and we became some of the first riders to enjoy it again after the four-year closure. Here's the story of our visit! UPDATE - Sadly in January 2022 the ride was demolished and impacted by a fire caused during the demolition process. A real sad loss, which makes me even more lucky to have ridden it on my 2010 trip.
