I grew up in Franklin Pa. and came to this park many times growing up. Conneaut Lake is a great park and hate to see how it has fallen on hard times. I loved the blue streak coaster and still think it's the best ever. I have been to to several amusment parks over the years, and ridden some cool coasters, but NONE of them can compare to 'ole blue'. I have lived in N.C. since 1986 and really hope I can can ride it again sometime in the near future, hopefully in 2011.

Awesome pix. I have so many memories of family reunions and Armco picnics back in the '80's and 90's. I loved the Hell Hole, Devil's Den, Ultimate Trip, and the Blue Streak! I remembered the tunnel but forgot about the picture of the whole track with the multi-colored lights on the Blue Streak. I live in Charleston SC now, but maybe someday we will be able to get the family all together to make a trip up there; wonder if the gum wall is still in Devil's Den?

ron hill: i wrote that title when i uploaded that photo, the blue streak was built in 1937 so actually it is over 70 years old. sounds like you are the one who needs to "do your homework" ;)

The Blue Streak is not anywhere near 65 years old. It was installed in 1964. Do your homework, or learn math!

i remember the picnics for the mills and plants that were still in good shape back in the late 80s and i rode the blue streak in 1984 i hope they can keep the park open it would be sad to seeit fade away , it brings alot of joybto people these days as bad as every thing is hope it continues to do so for the younger generation go conneat.

It is a great old classic coaster. That first hill is so steep it takes your breath away. And that last turn on the end is really fun too.

I remember riding this at least 20 times in a row one day many years ago. It's my favorite ride at Conneaut, and I hope to one day go back and ride it again. I hope the park does everything they can to re-open every year, because it would be a shame to see this coaster disappear...

Beautiful photos. One of my fave coasters. Nice to see Conneaut get a little love :)

Can you clarify? I thought the Blue Streak was at Cedar Point and even though it's been a few years since I've visit the Ohio park, this doesn't look anything like the ride unless your photos are just so well focused on things I hadn't noticed when I rode it. Can you say where these were shot?
Guest 23-Jun-2002 13:19
I´d never dare to ride a rollercoaster like that..
Guest 09-Mar-2002 04:13
sorry, I should have clarified... they have a Blue Streak at Cedar Point too... same
style, very old.. :)
Guest 09-Mar-2002 04:10
Love the shots... I worked at Cedar Point for a summer back in '95 and rode the Blue
Streak many, many times. Great coaster. :) Always have to loosen your seatbelt as much
as you possibly can though to make the ride more fun. :)

Georgia;
thanks. the blue streak has probably more lateral movement than any other coaster.
i lost my sunglasses on the ride and didnt even know till i was off.

You have some great shots here, Lou. You've captured everything but the screams! How I remember this great old roller coaster! I used to like it even better than the higher and "better" ones at Kennywood. Thanks for the memories!
