Record-breaking roller coaster set to launch in Ohio this summer
Ohio theme park Cedar Point recently gave an up-close look at the new world-record-breaking Steel Vengeance roller coaster.
The park announced new updates at its annual “Winter Chill Out” event, an exclusive off-season tour in which all proceeds go towards “A Kid Again”—an organization that fosters hope, happiness and healing for families dealing life-threatening illnesses.
The former Mean Streak ride has been revamped into the world’s first “hyper-hybrid” roller coaster. At 200 feet tall, the coaster is the tallest, fastest and longest hybrid ride in the world.
Check out the official POV of the ride from Cedar Point:
Cedar Point also announced a list of other changes coming to the park this year, including new food, new games and live entertainment.
Look at that drop!
Cedar Point is set to open May 5 for the 2018 season!
