I don't think it will be a racer, but the pinpoints in the video along with "They're Coming" really seem to throw me off. It's a brilliant marketing ploy.

Marketing ploy? Nah, it's just Cedar Fair marketing trolling the fans. :p

Oh my God. This thing is going to have a vertical drop. You can see at 1:12 that the track is going to drop 90 degrees straight down.

Cedar Point announces Steel Vengeance, tallest hybrid coaster, will replace Mean Streak

SANDUSKY, Ohio -- It's not only National Roller Coaster Day! It's the day coaster fans have been waiting for.

Cedar Point revealed what's happening to the Mean Streak. The coaster will now be called Steel Vengeance. It's the tallest, fastest and longest hybrid coaster in the world, and will reach speeds of up to 74 mph.

At more than 200 feet tall, the amusement park says the new hybrid design combines a steel running track on a massive wooden structure that provides an extremely smooth and comfortable ride while enabling the coaster’s trains to perform maneuvers previously unheard of on a wooden roller coaster.

Cedar Point says Steel Vengeance is the wildest ride it's ever built; the park says the coaster will offer riders "unmatched intensity through a relentless series of dynamic movements on this innovative coaster."

Cedar Point explained how the ride will work: Riders will board one of three trains and climb 205 feet above FrontierTown. Once they crest the lift hill, they’ll be staring straight down a 90-degree initial drop and a 200-foot fall to earth. Multiple airtime hills follow, including the world’s fastest airtime hill ever created on a hybrid roller coaster, and a 116-foot-tall outer-banked hill placing riders on an outward tilt while moving forward.

The ride will open in spring of 2018.

They’re back. And they’re back with a VENGEANCE! Once intimidated and disrespected by the musings of Maverick, outcasts Jackson “Blackjack” Chamberlain, Chess “Wild One” Watkins and Wyatt “Digger” Dempsey have returned to FrontierTown to right the wrongs done to them and their fellow FrontierTown Folk.

The three are bringing with them a roller coaster forged so big and so bold, an entirely new category of thrill ride has been branded: the hyper-hybrid – the world’s first steel-on-wood hybrid roller coaster to stand over 200 feet tall. Mirroring Blackjack’s impressive height, Chess’ unconventional and wild personality and Digger’s blazing speed of the draw, this new machine is now the force to be reckoned with. The law-abidin’ folk of FrontierTown have a new leader – Steel Vengeance.

This Wild West thrill comes action-packed with a height of 205 feet above the prairie, a 90-degree initial drop down to the earth, almost 30 seconds of airtime (the most on any roller coaster on Earth), 4 head-over-boots inversions, ricocheting movements left-to-right, up-to-down and side to side…it’s a roller coaster only Cedar Point could build – and you have the chance to saddle up and take the ride of your life beginning in 2018!
