The Racer

Constructed by owner George Boeckling along the Cedar Point beach in 1902, the Racer was his first roller coaster. It was manufactured by the Ingersoll Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The coaster reached a height of 46 feet. In 1906, when this picture was taken, a ride on the Racer cost five cents.

Blue Streak

The Blue Streak, named for the Sandusky, Ohio athletic teams, opened in 1964. It was the first new wooden roller coaster at the park since the Cyclone in 1929. A classic out-and-back coaster with a fast and hilly ride, the 78-foot-high Blue Streak is a long time guest favorite. It celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2014.
